Webb will start Friday against the Rangers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb limited the Dodgers to just a single run over four innings in his season debut. He threw just 70 pitches in that one, so he's unlikely to get close to 100 pitches this time around, but he should still be able to pitch fairly deep into the game.

Webb allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out two in four innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Webb needed 70 pitches (40 strikes) to get through his four innings, allowing just an RBI double to Justin Turner on the scoreboard. The 23-year-old Webb posted a 5.22 ERA in 39.2 innings last year. The right-hander is expected to face the Padres on Thursday for his next appearance, but it's unclear if he'll serve as a traditional starter or a primary pitcher in any of his outings in 2020.

Webb will start in Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants have had difficulty silencing the Dodgers' bats over the first two games of the season, and Webb will take the mound Saturday to see if he can get any results. The right-hander posted a 5.22 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over eight starts with the Giants last season.

Webb is the leading candidate to be the Giants' de facto fifth starter, although the team is using the term "bulk-innings role," Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR.com reports. "We see him in a role for us to take multiple innings," manager Gabe Kapler said. "We'll try to build him up as much as possible to be able to lengthen him out. ... We're stressing to all our pitchers, not just Logan, the mindset of being flexible and getting built up as much as possible."
EDGE Analysis
Buster Posey, who caught Webb's live batting practice session over the weekend, said the righty's stuff was "electric" and that he was "a tick or two up from the spring." Webb has improved his arsenal and will no longer face an innings limit in a shortened season. However, manager Gabe Kapler was hesitant to use the word "starter" as the Giants stress flexible roles for their pitchers and don't expect any starter to go beyond four innings to start the season. Trevor Cahill, Tyler Anderson and Andrew Suarez are also competing for bulk innings behind the Giants' top four starters.

Webb may benefit from the delayed start to the season, as he was likely facing an innings limit, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb is a candidate for the Giants' fifth rotation spot after making his major-league debut in 2019. However, he totaled just 103 innings across Triple-A and the big-leagues last season, meaning he likely won't be able to handle a full workload in 2020. However, with the possibility of a shortened season looming, Webb may have the opportunity to start for the entire campaign without restriction.

Webb (2-3) allowed two runs on six hits with one walk and five strikeouts across six innings while taking a loss against the Dodgers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The loss was a disappointing result, but Webb yielded just three runs in his final 12 frames of the year. That's something to build upon for 2020, as Webb will look to pitch in his first full MLB season. He ends this year 2-3 with a 5.22 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 37 strikeouts in 39.2 innings.

Webb (2-2) allowed one run on two hits with two walks and seven strikeouts across six innings while earning a victory against the Braves on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
This was not only Webb's first quality start, it was the first time he lasted at least six innings in a start this season. His best outing of the season, this performance helped Webb drop his ERA nearly a full run. He is 2-2 with a 5.61 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 33.2 innings this season. Webb will make his last start of the year Saturday at home against the Dodgers.

Webb allowed three earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out three across five innings Tuesday against the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Webb pitched well for four innings, but unraveled a bit late in his start. The trouble began in the fifth frame, when he allowed a solo home run to Jackie Bradley. He then went back out to begin the sixth inning but was pulled after allowing a leadoff triple. All told, this was one of Webb's more effective starts, though his 6.75 ERA and 1.76 WHIP shed light on his prior lack of effectiveness. He'll look to build on this performance in his next outing, currently scheduled for Sunday at Atlanta.

Webb is scheduled to start Tuesday's game at Boston, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Webb has struggled in his last two outings with 12 runs allowed (11 earned) over 7.1 innings, but he'll receive another chance in the rotation Tuesday. The 22-year-old has a 6.75 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB through his first five big-league starts (22.2 innings).

Webb (1-2) was charged with the loss against the Pirates on Wednesday, surrendering four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four across 4.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
It certainly wasn't a solid start by any means, but only two of Webb's seven hits allowed went for extra bases. The right-hander didn't allow any home runs, and only walked one batter. Not bad for the young 22-year-old, who owns a 6.75 ERA and 1.76 WHIP across five starts for the Giants this season. His status in the rotation is not guaranteed, especially with Johnny Cueto (elbow) set to return off the injured list.
