The San Diego Padres recalled pitcher Tyler Webb before Tuesday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The move is to bring a fresh arm to the bullpen after the Padres used five pitchers during Monday night's 10-3 drubbing. Reliever Kyle McGrath, who appeared Monday, was sent to Triple-A El Paso. Webb, a left-hander, was claimed from the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend to replace injured pitcher Dinelson Lamet (elbow). Webb has eight major league innings to his credit but has demonstrated a high K/9 profile during his minor league career.
Former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Tyler Webb was put on waivers on April 7, and has been claimed by the San Diego Padres. Webb has only pitched eight innings in the big leagues, with a 5.68 ERA at 27 years old. This move happened as Dinelson Lamet was added to the 60 Day DL and allowed for a player to be added to the 40 man roster. Webb will serve as depth for the Padres Triple-A affiliate, El Paso Chihuahuas, and has no fantasy relevance.
