Mon Mar 2509:25Logan Webb Having A Rough Cactus League
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has had a rough go of it in the Cactus League this spring with a bloated 10.97 ERA in six starts than span over 21 1/3 innings. Webb, 27, is coming off an excellent season for the Giants with his 3.25 ERA being his highest over the past three seasons. Most managers will not argue with that and should not. It is not out of the norm to see players struggle in Spring Training and then turn it on once the numbers actually count. Managers shouldn't worry about Webb as he has appeared healthy and he remains a safe option at the top of managers rotations as we head into 2024.

Wed Feb 2811:46Logan Webb Allows Three Hits, Two Earned Runs In Spring Debut
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb made his spring debut on Saturday in an 8-4 Cactus League loss to the Chicago Cubs. Last year's NL Cy Young award runner-up threw two innings, allowing three hits, two earned runs, and striking out two while walking none. The former fourth-round MLB draft pick had the highest percentage of ground balls last season at 62.1% which helped him lead the league in ground ball double plays as well (30). After a leadoff single by Mike Tauchman, he was able to get Nick Madrigal to ground into a double play. Webb was also among the league leaders in K/BB in 2023, and with two Ks and zero BBs Saturday, it appears we'll see more of the same again this season from the Giants' ace. Webb is the 16th pitcher coming off draft boards (63rd overall) and should be a solid number two starter on fantasy pitching staffs with some upside (RotoBaller rank is 56th overall).

Thu Sep 28 202321:23Logan Webb Won't Make Another Start, Kyle Harrison To Pitch Sunday
San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb will no longer start the season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants were considering giving him one more start to try and chase down Padres left-hander Blake Snell in the National League Cy Young race. Instead, left-handed rookie Kyle Harrison (illness) is lined up to face the Dodgers on Sunday. The 26-year-old Webb was solid again in 2023 with a 3.25 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 194 strikeouts in 216 innings over 33 starts for the Gigantes. Harrison was scratched due to an illness on Tuesday against the Padres, but he's feeling better now and will make one more start this year. The 22-year-old southpaw has struggled in his first six major-league starts, posting a 4.85 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, nine walks and 31 strikeouts in 29 2/3 frames.

Tue Sep 26 202300:42Logan Webb Goes The Distance In Monday's Win
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb was excellent in Monday's 2-1 win over the Padres. Webb pitched a complete game, allowing a single run on nine hits and no walks with seven strikeouts. In a season where starting pitching was so volatile, the 26-year-old has been the definition of consistency. He is now 11-13 with a 3.25 ERA, 8.08 K/9 rate, and 1.29 BB/9 rate. He is currently slated for one more matchup against the Dodgers to end the season. While this is not a favorable matchup, fantasy managers should trust him to try to gain any final advantage they can get.

Thu Sep 14 202314:52Logan Webb Looking To Dominate Rockies Again Thursday
San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb will look to dominate for his second straight start Thursday when he takes the ball in Colorado against the Rockies. Webb dominated this same Rockies offense his last time out with six innings of shutout ball while allowing just three hits and one walk against four strikeouts in San Francisco. He has once again been a reliable arm for fantasy managers this season, working to a 3.40 ERA across 30 starts and a hearty 193 innings of work. He doesn't generate a ton of strikeouts with a middling 23.2% K% but the 26-year-old's 3.8% BB% is the third-best mark in baseball among qualified starters, leading to a quality 19.4% K-BB% on the campaign.

Sat Jul 22 202323:11Logan Webb Rattled For Season-Worst Six Runs In Loss
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb allowed six runs on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts in just 1 1/3 innings for his eighth loss of the year on Saturday against the Washington Nationals. The 26-year-old stumbled through the shortest start of his career in this one, registering only four outs. Webb threw a clean opening frame before utterly collapsing with a six-run second inning where all the damage to his ledger was inflicted. The right-hander initially permitted two runs on three singles along with a free pass before an Alex Call two-RBI triple and a CJ Abrams two-run jack would send Webb packing. The blow-up dented Webb's season ERA from 3.14 to 3.48 (134 1/3 frames), enough for his worst figure since early May. The soft-tosser aims to rebound in his next time out slated for Friday at home versus the Boston Red Sox.

Wed Jul 12 202318:27Logan Webb To Get A Little Extra Rest
The San Francisco Giants will give right-hander Logan Webb a little extra rest heading into the start of the second half of the season this weekend. They'll open the second half with right-handers Ross Stripling on Friday and Alex Cobb on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and their Sunday starter is currently listed as TBA. Webb led all of baseball in the first half of the season with 19 starts and 126 innings pitched, so the Giants will take it easy on him and hold off on starting him until next week against the Cincinnati Reds. The 26-year-old had a strong first half for the Giants and fantasy managers alike, going 8-7 with a 3.14 ERA (3.23 FIP), 1.11 WHIP, 23 walks and 127 strikeouts, so he'll remain a must-start for fantasy managers in the second half.

Mon Jul 10 202300:50Logan Webb Shuts Out Rockies
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb threw a gem on Sunday, shutting down the Colorado Rockies for his first career complete game shutout. It was actually the first complete game of any sort for Webb, who dominated a hapless Rockies lineup to secure a 1-0 win. He allowed seven hits and had a stellar 10 strikeouts without allowing a walk. It's been a bit of an up-and-down season for Webb, but he has been solid for the most part, pitching to a 3.14 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and striking out 127 in 126 IP. He is firmly in the SP2 range and should continue to provide quality numbers across the board.

Tue Jun 13 202300:40Logan Webb Tosses Quality Start, Earns Win Monday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb improved to 5-6 in Monday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals. Webb pitched seven innings, allowing three runs on seven hits (including two home runs) and no walks with six strikeouts. The 26-year-old has done pretty much everything fantasy managers have come to expect, compiling a 3.15 ERA with an 8.97 K/9 rate and 1.68 BB/9 rate in 14 starts while averaging 6.5 IP/GS. His next matchup will be a tough one at the Dodgers, but Webb has proven himself to be matchup-proof for fantasy managers.

Thu May 25 202315:59Logan Webb Pushed Back To Saturday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (back) will receive two extra days of rest and will now be pushed back to Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers after leaving his last start with back tightness. Manager Gabe Kapler said there was no cause for concern. Webb threw from 90 feet on Tuesday and didn't have any issues. "We just like to give a guy an extra day or two when we can," Kapler said. "We saw what it did for Alex Cobb (who has made two starts on six days of rest this season). We want to repeat that from time to time, give guys an extra day and come out with their best stuff." The 26-year-old right-hander has been solid for fantasy managers this year with a 2.91 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 65 strikeouts in 65 innings over 10 starts, but he'll be a bit more of a risk against the Brew Crew this weekend.

Tue May 23 202312:00Logan Webb Expected To Make Next Start On Thursday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (back) is expected to make his next start. He had scans done on his back that didn't show any structural damage after he was forced to leave his last start on Saturday against the Miami Marlins with lower-back tightness, according to manager Gabe Kapler. Webb threw up to 90 feet and reported feeling good. The 26-year-old right-hander has a 2.91 ERA over 10 starts in 2023 and is currently scheduled to make his next start this Thursday on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers. Fantasy managers can rest assured that Webb will avoid the injured list, and he should be back in starting lineups for his start this week as the team's ace.

Sat May 20 202322:05Logan Webb Removed With Back Tightness
San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb (back) was removed from Saturday's start against the Miami Marlins due to lower back tightness. He allowed four hits and two walks while striking out seven across six scoreless innings before leaving. The 26-year-old doesn't believe the injury is severe and told the media he doesn't plan to miss his next start. Webb will not undergo an MRI and is considered day-to-day. Barring any setbacks, his next scheduled start is set for Thursday on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation.

Sun May 14 202309:40Logan Webb Looks To Maintain Length Versus Arizona
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb takes the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The 26-year-old is on a bit of a tear lately, garnering a 2.22 ERA and a delightful 27-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio across his last four starts. Webb's elite walk rate of 3.8% places him in the top-eight percent of baseball this season. The right-hander has survived six innings or more in seven of eight starts in 2023. He takes a 3.46 ERA overall into this date with Arizona, a team which he has a 2.65 ERA with 34 punch outs in 34 innings (three wins) against in his career. Fantasy managers should obviously continue starting the reliable hurler in season-long formats, and he could also be worth the premium cost in DFS settings.

Tue Apr 18 202300:09Logan Webb's Losing Streak Continues Monday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb fell to 0-4 in Monday's 4-3 game against the Marlins. Webb pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits (including a two-run home run) and no walks with six strikeouts. He also hit a batter. It has not been the start fantasy managers had hoped for, as the 26-year-old has a 4.94 ERA to start the season. The good news is that his strikeouts have jumped up to the tune of a 10.65 K/9 rate. Things will not get easier for Webb in his next start against the Mets. While he has likely frustrated fantasy managers to this point, Webb's ability to pitch deep into games and his strikeout potential makes him worth starting, particularly in points leagues.

Fri Apr 14 202312:00Giants, Logan Webb Agree To Five-Year Extension
The San Francisco Giants and starting pitcher Logan Webb agreed to a five-year, $90 million contract extension on Friday. Webb has gotten off to a rough start in 2023, but he's still deserving of this big extension after being one of the best pitchers in baseball the last few years. He went 15-9 in 2022 with a career-low 2.90 ERA (3.03 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 32 starts covering a career-high 192 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old is the Giants unquestioned ace this year, although he's allowed 12 runs (nine earned) on 18 hits (four home runs allowed) so far in 17 innings over three starts. Webb has walked only three and struck out 22, though, so he should bounce back sooner than later if he can avoid the long ball.

Tue Apr 11 202312:23Logan Webb Loses Third Straight Game
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has gotten off to a rough start in 2023. He dropped his third straight start on Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 9-1 loss, allowing four runs on six hits (two home runs) while walking one and striking out six in six innings pitched. Webb should eventually be able to turn things around for his fantasy managers, but it hasn't been pretty for the 26-year-old right-hander early on. Through his first three starts, he's allowed 12 earned runs on 19 hits (four homers allowed) while walking three and striking out 22 in 17 frames. Webb's strikeout-to-walk rate is encouraging, so if he can keep the ball in the park moving forward, he should be alright.

Sat Apr 1 202314:37Logan Webb Next Start Moved Up
San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb will make his next start on Wednesday, the second of three meetings with the Chicago White Sox. Anthony DeSclafani will begin the series on the bump, with Alex Wood on track to close out the series on Thursday. Webb had 12 strikeouts in the opening day loss to the New York Yankees. However, he finished with an ugly 6.00 ERA in six innings. Of course, the 26-year-old right-hander has a chance to turn things around versus Chicago, so fantasy managers should be optimistic moving ahead.

Tue Mar 14 202313:53Logan Webb Named Opening Day Starter
San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb will start the team's Opening Day contest against the New York Yankees on the road. Right-hander Alex Cobb will pitch the second game, while manager Gabe Kapler said the rest of the rotation is still being sorted out. Nobody should be surprised by Webb getting the Opening Day nod after he had a career-best 2.90 ERA (3.03 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 192 1/3 innings over 32 starts in his fourth year with the team. The 26-year-old should be considered a top-30 fantasy starter in upcoming drafts. Webb finds success not by overpowering hitters, but by using pinpoint location and movement on his pitches. It helps that he resides in a very pitcher-friendly home park.

Tue Feb 28 202300:44Logan Webb Scuffles In Spring Debut Monday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb looked rusty in his first spring appearance in Monday's 8-6 win over the Angels. Webb pitched 2 innings, allowing two runs on four hits (including a two-run home run) and no walks with a strikeout. This is not all that concerning, as the 26-year-old was making his first appearance with the new rules. Webb had a solid 2022 season, going 15-9 with a 2.90 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 20.7% strikeout rate. It is worth noting that he did see a drop in strikeout rate and relies heavily on ground balls, which could be impacted by the new shift restrictions. Regardless, Webb should serve as a high-floor, higher-end fantasy starter and currently has a reasonable draft position as the 44th pitcher off the board.

Sun Feb 5 202313:13Giants Discussing Extension With Logan Webb
The San Francisco Giants have had discussions with starting pitcher Logan Webb this offseason about a long-term contract extension. Webb ended the 2022 season on the injured list with a back ailment, but he was great otherwise with a 15-9 record, career-best 2.90 ERA (3.03 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 32 starts over 192 1/3 innings pitched. The strong season came after the 26-year-old right-hander broke out in 2021 in his third year with the organization, posting an 11-3 record, 3.03 ERA (2.72 FIP), 1.11 WHIP and 158 strikeouts in 148 1/3 innings. Webb has morphed into a top-level starting pitcher in both real life and fantasy, which makes sense why he's being considered a candidate for a long-term extension.
