How long is Logan Webb out?

Webb placed on 15-day IL with right knee bursitis

The San Francisco Giants placed Logan Webb on the 15-day injured list with right knee bursitis, and later reporting framed it as a question of how long he might miss based on the timeline of that ailment. The move also includes a roster adjustment, with Trevor McDonald recalled to the majors.

What triggered the IL placement

Webb did not make it through his start cleanly earlier in the month; he failed to get through five innings for the first time this season and exited with knee discomfort. The Giants then moved promptly to protect their rotation by formally categorizing the injury as bursitis.

Why it matters

Webb has been one of San Francisco’s most dependable starters, so losing him affects both the team’s short-term innings planning and the rotation order. Recall of McDonald indicates the Giants needed an immediate fill for the rotation spot.

Knee bursitis can vary in recovery time from case to case, and the stories provided do not offer a precise return date—only that he is on a 15-day list. That means fans should expect continued updates about progress and whether he can return before or after the minimum IL window.

Bottom line

Webb is out at least through his 15-day IL window with right knee bursitis, and the Giants have adjusted by recalling Trevor McDonald to keep the rotation functional while they monitor the right knee.
