Giants consider shutting down Logan Webb after poor start

Summary

The San Francisco Giants are contemplating an early end to Logan Webb's 2026 season after his latest start against the San Diego Padres. Manager Tony Vitello confirmed that a discussion regarding shutting down the right-hander is forthcoming. Webb allowed six earned runs in five innings during his recent outing, marking a troubling continuation of inconsistent performances this season.
