Webb is coming off of his best start of the year. He yielded just one earned run in seven frames against the Rays last week. Overall, he has a 3.80 ERA in four outings.

He has a solid .765 OPS through 51 plate appearances in 2024. And, there have been notable improvements in both his walk rate (11.8 percent) and strikeout rate (23.5 percent).
