Scouting Report: Logan Davidson

Summary

Logan Webb, the Giants' Opening Day starter and two-time All-Star, was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 6, 2026 (retroactive) due to right knee bursitis. Webb had been dealing with the knee issue for an extended period but was reluctant to take time off. He was removed from his start against the Padres after just 4 innings, allowing 6 earned runs on 7 hits. This marks his first IL stint since July 2021. Webb has struggled in 2026 with a 5.06 ERA, 1.396 WHIP, and .275 batting average against across 8 starts. His strikeout rate has declined to 20.2% (below average) and his walk rate sits at 7.2%. However, underlying metrics (xFIP and SIERA around 3.50) suggest better performance than his ERA indicates. Webb is expected to return when first eligible on May 21 and the team anticipates he will need the minimum IL time.
