San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb will not pitch in the MLB All-Star Game. Multiple reports say Webb has been ruled out for the pitching role for reasons not related to any in-game performance concern. Yahoo Sports reports that Webb will not take part as a pitcher in the exhibition in Philadelphia. The New York Post similarly states that Webb is not scheduled to pitch and describes internal team discussion involving manager Tony Vitello.
While the New York Post references Webb’s past experience as an All-Star and includes commentary about his offseason or event-week lifestyle, the core reported outcome across sources is the same: Webb is not expected to appear on the mound during the All-Star Game itself. The reports do not indicate that Webb is withdrawing from other All-Star activities, but they agree that he will not be part of the game’s pitching rotation. The Giants’ All-Star participation therefore shifts to other players, while Webb’s role remains non-pitching for the event.
