Webb (knee) should be able to pitch by Friday or Saturday, MASN Sports reports.
Webb has been dealing with swelling since Sunday. He had been able to throw in two spring training games prior to that. The injury is expected to be minor and he should get plenty more action before the Orioles decide if he will begin the season with the Orioles or at Triple-A.

Webb underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed swelling in his left knee, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Webb suffered a knee injury during a workout Sunday, but the MRI showed no structural damage. At this point he's being considered day-to-day, so it doesn't appear to be a serious ailment.

Webb lost weight in the offseason, but he appears to be healthy following non-throwing shoulder surgery during the offseason, MLB.com's Britt Ghiroli reports.
Webb spent most of the season with the Orioles in 2014, but he was optioned for the month of August when the team acquired Andrew Miller. This spring Webb is trying to earn one of the last couple of open slots at the back of the bullpen. Webb is a strong ground ball pitcher, with a 1.95 ground ball to fly ball ratio, but his fastball velocity dipped to a career low mark of 92.00 MPH in 2014.

Webb had minor surgery on his non-throwing shoulder shortly after the 2014 season ended, the Baltimore Sun reports.
Webb is on an off-season throwing program and is ready to begin spring training like new. The injury nagged at Webb during the season, when he went 3-3 with a 3.83 ERA in middle relief for the Orioles. He seems primed to fill a similar role in 2015.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Orioles will announce the signing of Ryan Webb on Monday.
Nightengale also adds that despite the addition of Webb, the O's are still intent on adding a closer. They have recently been linked to John Axford and Chris Perez, and it wouldn't be surprising to see them ink a new closer during the winter meetings. If they are unable to bring in an experienced option, Webb could be in the mix for save opportunities.

Jonah Keri of Grantland.com reports that the Orioles have signed Ryan Webb to a two-year, $4.5 million deal.
Webb still needs to pass a physical in order for the deal to be completed. The Marlins non-tendered Webb even though he was projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to earn just $1.5 million in arbitration, and now he's going to get $3 million more than that on a two-year pact. It's possible Webb could be in the mix for closing duties in Baltimore if the O's don't bring in someone with ninth inning experience.

Marlins non-tendered RHP Ryan Webb.
One of the more interesting names to not be tendered a contract before Monday's deadline. Webb doesn't pile up the strikeouts that you'd expect from someone with his stuff, but he gets a ton of ground balls and owns a career 3.29 ERA over parts of five seasons. He should be scooped up in no time.

Ryan Webb has been a steady veteran influence on Miami's bullpen, posting a 2.08 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 26 innings in 2013.
The bad news, for owners in holds leagues, is that Webb has only one. Such is life for Miami relievers, who inherit leads about as often as deceased investigative reporters.
