Jacob Webb

Jacob Webb has agreed to a one-year contract that includes a club option for 2027 with the Chicago Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

The 32-year-old Webb has put together a solid career since coming up in 2019 with the Atlanta Braves. Entering his seventh season in 2026, the Cubs will be Webb's fifth different team. The righthander has pitched to a 2.99 career ERA in 247 games, striking out 244 batters in 253 innings while limiting opponents to a .211 batting average. He went 5-4 last season with the Texas Rangers, posting a 3.00 ERA in 55 games. Webb will be a solid addition to the Cubs' bullpen but, more than likely, won't be fantasy relevant unless holds are a category.

The Texas Rangers activated Jacob Webb from the 15-day injured list on Thursday.
