The team would take to social media to announce their latest news, which includes Webb being taken off the 15-day injured list (IL), though San Francisco has placed pitcher Tyler Mahle on the IL. Other moves the team announced dealt with the incoming return of outfielder Jung Hoo Lee and outfielder Will Brennan being sent down to the minor leagues.
"Giants roster moves: OF Jung Hoo Lee reinstated from the 10-day IL, RHP Logan Webb returned from his rehab assignment and reinstated from the 15-day IL," the team wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "OF Will Brennan optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, RHP Tyler Mahle placed on the 15-day IL (retro to May 27)."
Giants' Logan Webb could've been activated for the Diamondbacks series
With Webb returning to the Giants and starting Friday against the Rockies, the pitcher has missed the majority of the month with a right knee injury. There was a chance that Webb could have been activated and maybe played in the last series against the Diamondbacks, but manager Tony Vitello would speak on giving the 29-year-old more time to ramp up ahead of a return to the majors.

"I think, more than anything, he needed to go through the exercises necessary in the training room, and then also to do some of the things he wanted to do in the 'pen," Vitello said, via MLB.com. "He got his bullpen in today. This weekend, I think, makes everything a little bit better for a bunch of different reasons, but [it was] mainly centered on his routine, and what he needed to go through."
At any rate, it remains to be seen how rusty Webb will be when he takes the mound on Friday night against the Rockies.
