Giants Shut Down Logan Webb For Remainder of Season
The San Francisco Giants placed their All-Star pitcher on the injured list due to a finger blister.
Updated on Sept. 19, 2026 in Baseball
The San Francisco Giants have officially ended Logan Webb's season by placing him on the injured list. The move comes as the team, currently holding a 64-89 record, has already been eliminated from postseason contention.
Why it matters
The decision to shut down Webb follows a persistent blister on his right middle finger, prompting the team to prioritize his recovery. Alongside Webb, infielder Nate Furman was also sidelined with a right oblique strain as the organization looks toward the off-season.
Logan Webb concludes his campaign with an 8-9 record over 27 starts, earning his third consecutive All-Star nod. The Giants hold a team record of 64-89 following their elimination from playoff contention.

Timeline

Season Trajectory
This roster move underscores the lost nature of the Giants' campaign, as the team has officially missed the postseason for the fifth consecutive year. By shutting down key contributors, the front office is shifting its focus toward roster evaluation and health management for 2027.
Fantasy managers must immediately remove Webb from active lineups as he will make no further appearances this year. The loss of both Webb and Nate Furman leaves significant holes in the active roster for the final games of the 2026 season.
The takeaway
Managing player health at the end of a non-contending season is a standard strategy to prevent long-term damage. Players recovering from late-season injuries typically spend the off-season focusing on rehabilitation to ensure full availability for the following spring.
