TYLER WEBB NEWS

Elects free agency Webb elected free agency Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact The 31-year-old lefty tosses 16.1 innings for the Cardinals this season but struggled significantly, giving up 24 runs while posting a 14:19 K:BB. Prior to this season, however, he owned 3.69 ERA in 105 innings at the highest level, so he could still generate a bit of interest over the winter.

Stays in organization The Cardinals assigned Webb to Triple-A Memphis after he cleared waivers Sunday.

Impact Webb was designated for assignment Thursday after posting an ugly 13.22 ERA and 2.51 WHIP over his 22 relief appearances for the big club this season. The 30-year-old will likely need to show sharper command and control at Triple-A for an extended period before the Cardinals entertain the idea of adding him back to the 40-man roster.

Designated for assignment Webb was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Thursday.

Impact Webb had struggled for most of the season, and he'll be cast off the 40-man roster after he allowed eight runs (six earned) on five hits and four walks in 1.1 innings across his last two appearances. The southpaw posted a 13.22 ERA and 2.51 WHIP in 16.1 innings across 22 relief appearances to begin the year. Left-hander Andrew Miller (toe) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Gets second hold Webb secured his second hold in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout.

Impact Despite his season-long struggles, Webb was notably called up on by manager Mike Shildt to work the eighth inning in a three-run game. The veteran left-hander was up to the task, firing 13 of his 17 pitches into the strike zone during a relatively smooth frame. It was a rare taste of success for Webb, who'd allowed at least one earned run in seven of his previous nine trips to the mound despite not surrendering any home runs during that stretch.

Struggles continue in May Webb, who allowed an earned run on two walks over 1.1 innings in a loss to the Padres on Friday, owns a 19.29 ERA over four May appearances.

Impact The left-hander also recorded two strikeouts Friday for his first outing with multiple punchouts this season, but Webb simply can't seem to settle into any sort of groove for an extended period. The veteran offered some hope when he posted four consecutive scoreless appearances over a seven-day period in mid-April, but he's subsequently generated a 16.62 ERA and 3.23 WHIP in the 4.1 innings covering his next six appearances. Webb is still seeing as much work as in past seasons -- his 15 appearances are already just six fewer than the 21 he logged in 2020 -- but manager Mike Shildt could reach his breaking point eventually if the 30-year-old doesn't figure things out soon.

Rollercoaster season continues Webb has allowed seven earned runs on four hits and seven walks while recording one strikeout across the 2.1 innings covering his last four appearances.

Impact The left-hander's woes continued in Thursday's loss to the Mets, when he failed to record a single out and got just three of 11 pitches into the strike zone before getting the hook in the seventh inning. Prior to the current stretch, the normally reliable Webb had produced four consecutive scoreless efforts. However, his multi-appearance slump has ballooned his ERA and WHIP to 13.00 and 2.22, respectively.

Uneven start to season Webb, who fired a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in which he recorded a strikeout during Sunday's loss to the Brewers, has a 12.46 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across his first six appeara...

Impact The left-hander is already logging his usual heavy volume of middle-relief work, but Webb has given up multiple earned runs twice, leading to his inflated numbers. The 30-year-old has posted ERAs of 3.76 and 2.08 over his last two seasons, however, so there's evidence to support the notion he can bounce back over time.

APRIL 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logging hefty spring workload Webb owns a 3.86 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 5:1 K:BB and three holds across the 4.2 innings covering his first five Grapefruit League appearances.

Impact The veteran southpaw has also held hitters to a cumulative .176 average while posting three scoreless one-inning outings in his five trips to the mound. Webb is coming off a career-best 2020 campaign during which he recorded a 2.08 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, one save and two holds across 21.2 innings (21 appearances).

Notches first save Webb issued a walk in a scoreless inning during a win over the Brewers in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader. He struck out one batter and earned the save.

Impact Webb was 0-for-2 in save chances this season prior to Monday with his last opportunity coming all the way back on Aug. 21. The 30-year-old southpaw has now made nine consecutive scoreless appearances, lowering his ERA from 5.40 to 2.30 during that span.

Stringing scoreless streak together Webb, who fired a clean eighth inning during which he recorded a strikeout in a loss to the Reds on Friday, has now posted seven straight scoreless relief efforts.

Impact The left-hander has lowered his season ERA from 5.40 to 2.70 in the process, transitioning into one of manager Mike Shildt's more reliable middle-relief options. Webb has improved his ERA every year of his career, and given his recent stretch, he appears on the way to significantly improving on 2019's 3.76 figure as well.

Notches first win Webb (1-1) was credited with the victory in the first game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Wednesday, firing 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Impact The left-hander got four valuable outs in the seven-inning affair, bouncing back from his one hiccup of the season in the process. Webb had taken the loss in Game 2 of Monday's twin bill versus the Cubs by yielding three earned runs on two hits over two-thirds of an inning, the only outing among his six appearances during which he's been scored upon thus far.

Blows save, takes loss Webb (0-1) allowed three runs on two hits and two walks in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader, blowing the save and taking the loss against the Cubs.

Impact Webb came into the sixth inning with one out and an inherited runner and struggled to finish the inning. He coughed up an RBI double to Willson Contreras before serving up a three-run, go-ahead blast to pinch-hitter David Bote. St. Louis looks to be using a closer-by-committee approach but Webb likely set himself back with Monday's rough outing.
