TYLER WEBB
Included in closer conversation Webb was listed by manager Mike Shildt on Wednesday as part of a group of pitchers who could see save chances going forward, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact The Cardinals have no clear next man up after moving Kwang Hyun Kim back to the rotation. It would be a surprise to see Webb get many opportunities in the ninth inning, as his 3.76 ERA last season was fine but hardly closer material, while his 21.7 percent strikeout rate, 10.4 percent walk rate and 41.1 percent groundball rate were all worse than league average. He could see opportunities with a run of lefties up in the ninth inning, though Andrew Miller may be the primary option in those instances.

Impact The left-hander had put together an excellent spring training before play was suspended, and he's replicating that caliber of performance thus far in the new season. Webb's first two outings were an inning apiece, appearances during which he didn't allow a hit and recorded a strikeout apiece. The 30-year-old settled in well during his first full Cardinals campaign in 2019, notching eight holds, a 3.76 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 65 appearances.
