Webb was announced as the Giants' starter for Opening Day against the Yankees on Wednesday, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old righty is the obvious choice to start Opening Day, and he'll face off against lefty Max Fried in the first game of the 2026 MLB season Wednesday. Webb tallied a career-high 224 strikeouts last season with a 3.22 ERA and 1.24 WHIP while also tying a career best with 15 wins.

Webb allowed six earned runs on eight hits, including one home run, and one walk while striking out three across 4.1 innings in Thursday's 14-11 Cactus League win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Webb returned to Cactus League action after joining Team USA for the World Baseball Classic, where he surrendered one earned run on five hits, including a homer, and one walk while striking out 11 in 8.2 innings over two outings. The right-hander was hit hard in his third Cactus League start, tossing 58 of his 86 pitches for strikes while giving up six more hits than he had over his previous two spring games combined. Webb, who is set to make his fifth consecutive Opening Day start, is coming off another strong campaign in which he posted a 3.22 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 224:46 K:BB across 207 innings in 34 starts.

Webb picked up the win in Sunday's 9-1 Cactus League victory over the Padres, allowing one earned run on two hits while striking out three batters and hitting one in three innings.

EDGE Analysis

Webb picked up his second win in as many spring starts, throwing 27 of his 38 pitches for strikes. He hit the first batter he faced, who later scored on an RBI single, though the right-hander powered through his final two innings and gave up just one more single. Webb will now join Team USA ahead of the World Baseball Classic. According to Maria Guardado of MLB.com, the 29-year-old tossed 15 extra pitches in the bullpen after exiting Sunday's game and expects to be available to throw 60-65 pitches in his first start for Team USA.

Webb (15-11) earned the win in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Rockies, allowing just three hits over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Webb was solid down the stretch, posting a 2.87 ERA in his last nine outings (53.1 innings). The right-hander wrapped up the season on a high note, as he matched a career high with his 15th win. Webb will finish another strong campaign with a 3.22 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and a career-best 224 strikeouts across 34 starts (207 innings).

Webb allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Webb was a little generous with baserunners, but he was able to avoid taking a third straight loss. The right-hander has had mixed results in September, allowing 17 runs (13 earned) over 28 innings across five starts. For the season, he was able to surpass the 200-inning mark for the third straight year (201.2) while posting a 14-11 record, 3.30 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 216:46 K:BB over 33 starts.

Webb (14-11) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings, taking the loss Thursday versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Webb was a little more in control than Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but the Giants weren't able to give their ace enough run support to overcome his missteps in the sixth inning. This was still better than the six-run outing Webb had at home versus the Dodgers last Saturday. The 28-year-old is now at a 3.27 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 211:44 K:BB through 195.2 innings over 32 starts. He's projected for one more start this season in a home game versus the Cardinals, which will give him a chance to reach the 200-inning mark for the third straight season.

Webb (14-10) allowed six runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out five over four-plus innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Webb matched his shortest start and highest number of runs allowed this season in this poor outing, ending a stretch of five games where he was not on the hook for the loss. The right-hander is now at a 3.34 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 206:43 K:BB through 188.2 innings across 31 starts. The Giants are in a wild-card race that could go down to the wire, so there shouldn't be any talk of Webb's season ending early as long as he stays healthy. He's tentatively projected to make his next start in a road rematch with the Dodgers next week.

Webb (14-9) allowed four runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants fell behind early after an error led to three runners eventually crossing the plate in the second inning. Webb was steady enough to overcome that, and the Giants' offense took over in the sixth to help him secure his fourth win in his last five starts. He's allowed a total of 10 runs (seven earned) with a 33:6 K:BB across 31 innings in that span. Overall, Webb has a 3.12 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a career-high 201 strikeouts through 184.2 innings over 30 starts this season. The 28-year-old's next start is projected to be at home versus the Dodgers this weekend as he attempts to tie his career high of 15 wins.

Webb (13-9) earned the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Webb's streak of starts of at least six innings was stopped at six, he still turned in a decent outing at hitter-friendly Coors Field. The All-Star right-hander has fired fewer than five frames just twice all year, and he's now fanned at least five on 24 occasions among his 29 outings. Webb owns a steady 3.17 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 194:39 K:BB across 178.2 innings, and he's next lined up to take the hill early next week at home against the division-rival Diamondbacks.

Webb didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

It was Webb's fifth straight start of at least six innings, and he's now punched out at least seven in four of his last six outings. The All-Star right-hander has been mostly reliable with a 3.16 ERA on the season, though he's struggled at times while logging a 4.20 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over his last 60 frames (10 starts) since the beginning of a July. Webb generally offers a solid fantasy floor, as he's thrown at least six innings in 21 of his 28 outings in 2025, but he might be more difficult to trust in his next scheduled appearance at hitter-friendly Coors Field against the division-rival Rockies.
