The veteran seems to regularly fly under the radar and is now has smooth 3.09 ERA accompanied by 14 quality starts on the year. Next up for Webb and the Giants will be a date against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Managers should start Webb with confidence in all of his starts.

Webb's only run allowed was unearned, and he left with a 3-1 lead that was blown in the ninth inning. He only gave up three hits and one walk while striking out a season-high eight. He has now allowed two or less earned runs in four straight starts while working at least six innings in each of them. This is the workhorse that fantasy managers expected when they drafted him with a top 50 pick.

Logan Webb Throws Six Shutout Innings Versus Dodgers
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb picked up his fourth win of the season on Wednesday in a 4-1 victory over the Dodgers. Webb threw six shutout innings, allowing just three hits and three walks (also one HBP) while striking out five. The 27-year-old now has a 3.03 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 12.0% K-BB% on the year. While the low strikeout rate is a bit disappointing (18.7%) and his walks are up over last year (6.8% vs 3.6%), he's limited batters to just two home runs in 59 1/3 IP. The righty will take on a Pittsburgh team on the road his next time out. The Pirates have scored the fifth-fewest runs in the league to this point.
San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb had another rough outing Sunday in the 5-4 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies. Webb threw for four innings on Sunday, allowing five runs, one homer, and six hits, with six strikeouts and two walks. This makes it his second straight game where he was pulled early after allowing multiple runs. The 27-year-old right-handed pitcher recorded two clean starts before the Boston Red Sox series but has taken a turn for the worst. He now owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and a 36: 12 K: BB across 46 1/3 innings in 2024. Webb's next projected start is against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, and they hold a batting average of .210 against right-handed pitchers, giving Webb a perfect bounce-back spot as a streaming option for fantasy managers.

Webb pitched just 3 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on nine hits and three walks with four strikeouts. Despite the poor outing, the 27-year-old has pitched well to start the season, going 3-2 with a 2.98 ERA, a 6.38 K/9 rate, and a 2.13 BB/9 rate in seven starts. He will look to rebound in his next scheduled start, which will be a middling matchup at the Phillies.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb picked up his second win of the season on Thursday in a 5-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Webb had his best outing on the year in this one, twirling seven shutout frames while allowing just two hits. He also walked one and struck out five in the dominant performance. Other than a tough start against the Dodgers early on, Webb has been exactly what we expected this season, a sturdy innings eater who can solidify a rotation. He should keep being exactly that, and should seldom leave fantasy lineups.
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.
Logan 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).
Logan 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.
