The Giants placed Webb on the injured list Sunday due to an unspecified issue.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco provided no explanation for why Webb and Jake McGee were placed on the IL, perhaps suggesting that both were shut down due to COVID-19-related protocols. Regardless of why he was dropped from the active roster, Webb is no longer in line to rejoin the rotation during the upcoming week, as had been expected following Johnny Cueto's (lat) recent placement on the IL. The Giants will first require a replacement in the rotation for Webb on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Webb will move back to the rotation for a pair of starts while Johnny Cueto (lat) is on the injured list, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Webb opened the season with a pair of starts, giving up six runs on 15 hits in 10.1 innings, before moving to the bullpen. He's needed again in the rotation temporarily but will likely return to the bullpen in late April unless another injury strikes the Giants' rotation.

Webb pitched a perfect seventh inning with one strikeout to earn a hold in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Webb was taken out of the rotation Wednesday, as Alex Wood is expected to return Saturday. The 24-year-old Webb through 11 pitches (six strikes) in his first relief appearances of the year. The right-hander is expected to be available for long-relief duties when necessary. He has a 4.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB through 11.1 innings this season. Considering Johnny Cueto (lat) left Wednesday's game early, Webb could be a candidate for a spot start Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Webb will pitch out of the bullpen going forward, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Webb made two starts to begin the regular season and posted a 5.23 ERA and 1.94 WHIP in 10.1 innings. However, Alex Wood (back) is slated to make his season debut as a starter Sunday, so Webb will move to a relief role while Aaron Sanchez remains in the starting rotation. Webb should serve as a long reliever for San Francisco but is expected to remain stretched out in case he's needed as a starter at some point, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Webb allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies. He had six strikeouts and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander started out with three scoreless frames but surrendered three runs across the fourth and fifth innings. Webb has given up six runs on 15 hits with a 11:5 K:BB over 10.1 innings through his first two starts of the season, and he's set to pitch at Miami next weekend.

Webb (0-1) took the loss against Seattle on Saturday, hurling 5.1 innings and allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

Webb looked dominant in Cactus League play, allowing only one run and posting a 22:2 K:BB across 17 innings. The story was much different in his initial outing of the regular season, however, as the right-hander allowed too much traffic on the basepaths and yielded three runs between the third and fourth innings. Webb will look to rebound in his next start, currently slated to take place Saturday at home against Colorado.

Webb will begin the season in the starting rotation and make his first start Saturday at Seattle, manager Gabe Kapler told the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony DeSclafani will begin the season as the No. 4 starter and Aaron Sancher as the No. 5 starter as a result. Webb has had an outstanding spring by throwing 11 scoreless innings with 17 strikeouts and one walk.

Webb threw three scoreless innings with six strikeouts in Saturday's spring training win over Cleveland. He's thrown six scoreless innings this spring. "That's as good as I've ever seen his changeup look," manager Gabe Kapler told MLB.com. "I don't want to overdo it here, but he's been really impressive in this camp."

EDGE Analysis

Webb is vying for the final spot in the starting rotation. While he's likely an underdog behind Alex Wood and Aaron Sanchez, there could be an opening early in the season as Wood is dealing with a stiff back and Sanchez is working his way back from shoulder surgery. Webb's strikeout percentage and walk rate took a step back last season in conjunction with an ugly 5.47 ERA, but he's showing positive signs this spring and is just 24.

Webb will be available out of the bullpen for the Giants' final two games of the regular season, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Webb earned a win in his start Wednesday and won't be one of the team's two starters for the final pair of games in the regular season. However, the right-hander will be available in relief as the Giants battle for a spot in the playoffs. Should the team qualify for the postseason, he could remain in a bullpen role for the best-of-three Wild Card Series.

Webb (3-4) picked up the win against the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out one batter across 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old worked around a leadoff double allowed by Baragar in the second inning, finishing out the frame without any damage. His only blemishes on the night came from an RBI single to Trevor Story in the third and an RBI double to Raimel Tapia in the fifth. Otherwise Webb looked sharp, striking out only one batter but throwing 54 of 84 pitches for strikes. The right-hander finishes out the regular season with a 5.50 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 13 appearances (11 starts).
