Overview

  • The Giants put Logan Webb on the 15-day injured list Saturday for right knee bursitis, retroactive to May 6, making May 21 his earliest possible return.
  • Webb left Tuesday’s start after four innings with knee pain and six runs allowed, and he is 2-4 with a 5.06 ERA through eight outings this season.
  • Right-hander Trevor McDonald was recalled from Triple-A to take Webb’s rotation spot after a seven-inning, one-run gem in his lone MLB start this year.
  • The move ends Webb’s run of 156 straight turns in the rotation since 2021, and both he and manager Tony Vitello said the pause protects his long-term health.
  • The roster shuffle continued as catcher Logan Porter was added from Triple-A following the trade of Patrick Bailey, tightening short-term depth while Webb recovers.
