Marlins avoided arbitration with RHP Ryan Webb by agreeing to a one-year, $975,000 contract. He can earn an additional $10,000 if he appears in 67 games. Webb, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time, has posted a 3.45 ERA over three and a half big league seasons.

Marlins recalled RHP Ryan Webb from Triple-A New Orleans. Webb posted a disappointing 5.50 ERA in 36 innings for the Marlins before being sent down earlier this month. He has the stuff to be a late-inning weapon, but clearly more consistency is needed.

According to beat reporter Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post, Ryan Webb or Edward Mujica will handle a save situation Thursday afternoon against the Giants. Heath Bell is sporting a brutal 11.74 ERA in 7 2/3 innings this season and has also appeared in each of the Marlins' past three games. If the Marlins decide to remove the high-priced closer completely from his current role, ninth-inning responsibilities would likely be split between Webb, Mujica and Steve Cishek.

Marlins activated RHP Ryan Webb from the 15-day disabled list. Webb has been sidelined since the end of June with right shoulder tightness. He posted a 1.69 ERA and 5/3 K/BB ratio over 5 1/3 innings during his minor league rehab assignment. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 3.67 ERA and 22/14 K/BB ratio over 34 1/3 innings with the Marlins this season.

Ryan Webb (elbow) will appear in a rehab game for the Gulf Coast League Marlins over the weekend. Webb threw off a mound last Friday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list and hasn't had any setbacks since. He'll likely need at least 3-4 appearances in a rehab situation before the Marlins consider activating him. He's been out since late June.

Ryan Webb (elbow) threw off a mound Friday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list. Webb hasn't pitched since June 26 due to right shoulder inflammation. He'll likely need a couple more bullpen sessions before facing live hitters. There's no current timetable for his return.

Ryan Webb (shoulder) continues to play catch, but there's no timetable for when he'll throw from a mound. "Waiting for them to tell me what to do," Webb said. "I have no idea. They haven't really told me anything further than playing catch till Friday." Webb has been out since June 27 with right shoulder inflammation. "I guess they're trying to take it slow," he said. "We kind of rushed back last time and I had something else flare back up."

Ryan Webb (shoulder) has resumed some light throwing. Webb has been sidelined since late-June with right shoulder tightness. He is scheduled to be reevaluated on Tuesday.

Marlins placed RHP Ryan Webb on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 27, with right shoulder tightness. The shoulder has been a real issue for Webb of late, as he has made just one appearance since June 19. There's no point in keeping him around if he's not 100 percent. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 3.67 ERA and 22/14ÿK/BB ratio over 34 1/3 innings this season.

Ryan Webb returned to action on Sunday June 26.
