Logan Webb Set to Return Friday With Start at Coors Field

A return would restore a veteran presence to a struggling Giants rotation.

Giants pitcher Logan Webb, who has been sidelined because of knee bursitis, will return to the mound Friday to face the Rockies in Denver.

Overview

  • Webb completed a Triple‑A rehab start on May 22 in which he threw 62 pitches and allowed one unearned run over 3 1/3 innings.
  • The right‑hander tossed a bullpen session this week and is scheduled by the team to take the mound Friday, May 29, in Denver pending final confirmation.
  • Manager Tony Vitello and Webb both said the pitcher feels ready to rejoin the rotation after the rehab work and bullpen session.
  • Trevor McDonald, who was called up to cover Webb’s turns and showed early success before a rough outing, faces a roster decision when Webb is activated.
  • The move comes as the Giants sit 22‑32 with a rotation ERA near the bottom of MLB and follows concerns about Webb’s 2026 form, which includes a 5.06 ERA and 1.40 WHIP; the club has signaled the IL stint was a protective step rather than a trade signal.
