First win Webb (1-1) won Saturday's 8-7 game over Philadelphia, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits.

Impact Webb came on in the twelfth and allowed three runs to cross the plate, thanks in part to his own throwing error, yet still won the game due to the Atlanta comeback. An inflated 6.55 ERA proves he isn't typically utilized in high-leverage situations.

Takes extra-inning loss Webb (0-1) was charged with the loss in Monday's game against the Marlins after surrendering two runs (one earned) on three hits in the 10th inning.

Impact It did not take long for Webb to see some action after he was called up to the active roster Saturday. Unfortunately, Webb's first outing of 2021 was not great. The first three batters he faced notched hits against him, allowing the go-ahead runs to score. While he was able to retire the next three batters and limit the damage, he was still left with the loss. The 27-year-old has previously shown some ability to be a bullpen contributor, compiling a 1.06 ERA and 38:17 K:BB across 42.1 innings for Atlanta in 2019 and 2020.

Braves put reliever Martin on injured list for shoulder

APRIL 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Recalled by Atlanta Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact Webb was called up Wednesday to serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader against the Nationals, and he'll remain in the major-league bullpen after Chris Martin (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Webb made eight relief appearances for Atlanta last year and tossed 10 scoreless innings while striking out 10.

Joins big club for twin bill Atlanta recalled Webb from its taxi squad ahead of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

Impact He'll be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, meaning he'll likely be removed from the active roster following the pair of games. Though Webb failed to win a spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, he's been effective through parts of two seasons in the big leagues, posting a 1.06 ERA across 42.1 career innings.

Braves option Wright, clear No. 5 rotation spot for Wilson

The Atlanta Braves have optioned right-hander Kyle Wright to their alternate training site

MARCH 24, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Won't break camp with big club Atlanta optioned Webb to its alternate training site Wednesday.

Impact Webb's case for a spot in Atlanta's Opening Day bullpen appeared to be strong after he worked 10 scoreless innings over his eight appearances in 2020, but the fact that he has minor-league options remaining likely worked against him. Atlanta is evaluating non-roster invitees Carl Edwards and Nate Jones for spots in the bullpen, while two other relief candidates in Luke Jackson and Grant Dayton already possess 40-man roster spots but no longer have minor-league options.
