Jacob Webb pitched two scoreless innings on Friday to earn his first save of the season as the Cubs defeated the Diamondbacks, 6-5.
Fantasy Impact
Webb allowed only a walk while striking out three as he preserved a one-run lead for his first save since May 12 of last season as a member of the Rangers. Webb has a 4.26 ERA and has allowed 23 baserunners in 12.2 innings. He has never collected more than two saves in a season during his seven-year career, so this shouldn't be a trend moving forward.
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.
Fantasy Impact
Webb has been reinstated from the injured list after recovering from back spasms, an injury that had sidelined him since July 30. He is ready to return to his middle relief role following a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock. In a corresponding move, Caleb Boushley was optioned to Triple-A.
The Texas Rangers placed Jacob Webb on the 15-day IL on Wednesday, retroactive to July 29.
Fantasy Impact
Webb started feeling back spasms during his July 28 outing against the Los Angeles Angels. With no improvement over the last couple of days, he has been placed on the injured list. In a corresponding move, Luis Curvelo has been called up from Triple-A Round Rock.
Jacob Webb worked around one hit and one walk in a scoreless inning on Monday against the Rockies for a save.
Fantasy Impact
It was the first save on the season for Webb with Luke Jackson unavailable.
