Diamondbacks | Webb to miss at least six weeks

Source (kffl.com) (SP - ari) | 0 comments.

Updating previous reports, Jesse Sanchez, of MLB.com, reports Arizona Diamondbacks SP Brandon Webb (shoulder) has a strained teres major muscle in the back of his right shoulder and will not pitch in a big league game for at least six weeks. "Obviously, I'm not real happy and it's not what we wanted to hear," Webb said. "Dr. Lee said it was a three-to-six-week deal whenever you strain your shoulder. We went on the three-week side of it first and now we are going to go with the six-week side of it." Webb conceded that it's going to take time for him to build up his pitch count and arm strength, but added that his shoulder feels as strong as it has ever felt. He said his injury was described to him as "a hamstring pull or strain in your arm." Webb said he first noticed the shoulder stiffness during his final start of Spring Training. "I just think I did something in Spring Training that caused it," Webb said. "The wear and tear on the scan looks really good, so that's encouraging."

News: Arizona Diamondbacks ace Brandon Webb will be shut down for three weeks in a significant setback to his attempt to recover from shoulder problems that have sidelined him since his opening-day start. Manager Bob Melvin announced the decision after the Diamondbacks lost to San Francisco 5-1 on Friday night.

He felt fine after his first, 33-pitch session on Tuesday. The plan had been for Webb to throw to hitters if Friday's bullpen went well, then perhaps have him make a minor league start.

Bob McManaman, of The Arizona Republic, reports Arizona Diamondbacks SP Brandon Webb (shoulder) will miss his next start Saturday, April 11, after complaining of shoulder stiffness Wednesday, April 8. Webb received treatment Wednesday and is unlikely to play catch or throw a bullpen until after the weekend.

Yusmeiro Petit will start Saturday's game against the Dodgers in place of the ailing Brandon Webb (shoulder stiffness), according to MLB.com.

Our View: Petit held a solid 1.05 WHIP over 56.1 innings last season, with 42 strikeouts. He is worth a look for NL-only leagues for Saturday's spot-start at Chase Field.

Webb uncharacteristically lasted just four innings Monday against the Rockies, allowing six runs on six hits. His velocity was noticeably down as the game went along. Tuesday, Webb played catch and said afterward that he was fine and saw no reason why he would not be able to make his next scheduled start April 11 against the Dodgers.

Diamondbacks ace Brandon Webb was rocked for six runs and six

Source (CBSSports.com) (SP - ari) | 0 comments.

News: Diamondbacks ace Brandon Webb was rocked for six runs and six hits in four innings Monday in the season opener against the Rockies. He issued two walks and recorded two strikeouts, taking the no-decision. Webb said he was dropping his arm too low and was bothered by stiffness in his shoulder early in the fourth inning, when he gave up consecutive homers on three pitches to Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Iannetta. He said he felt fine after the game, though. According to MLB.com, the altered arm angle caused his velocity to drop and his trademark sinker to fall flat -- the exact same thing that happened to him during a June slump last year. "I mean, it's similar," Webb said. "Pitchers go through times when you try to find the right spot and you try different things. You just have to kind of work through it until one day you find it, it clicks and you're able to repeat it." [...]

The stiffness, Webb said, limited his effectiveness in the fourth inning, which began with Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Iannetta hitting back-to-back homers on Webb's first three pitches. An inning earlier, Webb walked the bases loaded with two out and allowed Brad Hawpe's bases-clearing double. Webb was lifted by Arizona manager Bob Melvin after the fourth inning. Last year, Webb battled through an early bout with right shoulder tendinitis and needed four starts from Aug. 26 to Sept. 12 to notch his 20th victory, so the injury isn't unprecedented. Stay tuned.

Webb surrenders six runs in four innings

Source (fanball.com) (P - ari) | 0 comments.

Brandon Webb had a poor start to 2009 as he lasted just four innings in Arizona's 9-8 win over the Rockies. He allowed six hits, two walks, and six earned runs while striking out two hitters.

Our View: Webb has logged a ton of innings on his right arm over the past few seasons, and there's a chance that could finally catch up to him this season. He finished last season poorly and continued with a rocky spring training. While generally viewed as one of the most reliable pitchers in baseball, he failed the faithful today.

Status: Out. Probable for Opening Day
Accoring to managing general partner Ken Kendrick, the Diamondbacks' payroll will likely increase north of $75 million for 2010. General manager Josh Byrnes began the offseason with roughly $20 million to spend, but after picking up the $8.5 million option for Brandon Webb, the club will have less room to work with. "We definitely have more than $10 million to spend in the market," Kendrick said. "There are other moves that we may make that could change the money landscape that have yet to be determined." Of course, their flexibility may change depending on whether they will be able to find a taker for Chris Snyder or Eric Byrnes, but the Diamondbacks are expected to look for a No. 4 starter, a set-up man and a veteran position player. Arizona's payroll was approximately $73 million in 2009.
