Giants shut down ace Logan Webb for the season with a blister on his finger
The San Francisco Giants have sidelined their star pitcher Logan Webb for the remainder of the season due to a blister on his right middle finger. This decision was made on Friday, effectively taking him off the field and putting him on the injured list. Webb had a solid season, finishing with an 8-9 record, a 4.31 ERA, and 134 strikeouts in 27 starts.
Despite his impressive performance, including earning All-Star recognition for the third consecutive year, he has been inconsistent since June. Earlier in the season, Webb was sidelined for three weeks in May due to right knee bursitis, his first injury on the injured list since 2021. Additionally, infielder Nate Furman has also been placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain.
Currently, the Giants (64-89) are already eliminated from postseason contention for the fifth year in a row.
