Webb finishes 8-9 with a 4.31 ERA and 134 strikeouts, and the Giants recalled Duncan Davitt after shutting him down to protect the finger injury.
- On Friday, the San Francisco Giants placed pitcher Logan Webb on the 15-day injured list with a right middle finger blister, officially ending his season.
