Written about him

Two starts

The blister cost Logan Webb two starts and nothing else

San Francisco placed Logan Webb on the 15-day injured list on September 18 with a right middle finger blister and shut him down for the season, ending a year in which he made 27 starts and threw 160 2/3 innings at a 4.31 earned run average. It is his second injured list stint of 2026; he did not start for 20 San Francisco games in May with right knee bursitis. The 160 2/3 innings end a run of three straight seasons above 200, and two more starts at this year's rate would have left him near 172. His innings per start has fallen in each of the three seasons since 2023: 6.55, 6.20, 6.09, 5.95. Over his last five starts he allowed 23 earned runs in 21 2/3 innings. Landen Roupp has already made more starts than Webb this season, the first time anyone on the club has since 2021, and needs six innings across his remaining turns to pass him in innings as well. Hayden Birdsong, Trevor McDonald and Carson Whisenhunt are all on the club's injured list rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. One take filed.

Carson Whisenhunt's Only Scoreless Start This Season Was The One He Did Not Finish

San Francisco placed Carson Whisenhunt on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and recalled Spencer Bivens from Triple-A Sacramento. Whisenhunt made eight starts this season, 34.2 innings at a 6.49 earned run average, and Monday's was the only one in which nobody scored on him. He is the third San Francisco starting pitcher this year to lose an elbow: Hayden Birdsong went on the 60-day injured list in March with Tommy John surgery already named in the transaction, Trevor McDonald had his on August 5, and Whisenhunt has been told to have his. Adrian Houser then left Tuesday's game after 26 pitches with what Tony Vitello called tightness in his flexor, and has an MRI Wednesday morning with no result published. Whisenhunt's major league record is 13 starts, 58 innings, 33 walks and 42 strikeouts.
