San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right knee bursitis, the team announced. The move comes after Webb experienced discomfort in his knee during his most recent start, prompting the decision to sideline the ace to allow for recovery. Webb, a crucial component of the Giants' rotation, will be unavailable for at least two weeks, creating a significant gap in the starting pitching plans for manager Bob Melvin.

The specific timeline for his return remains contingent upon the resolution of the inflammation in his knee. While the team has not yet announced a corresponding roster move to fill the vacant spot in the rotation, the immediate focus will be on managing the workload of the remaining pitchers while Webb undergoes treatment and rehabilitation. The injury is a notable setback for the Giants, who rely heavily on Webb's consistent performance to anchor their pitching staff.
