"His first 11 appearances came as a reliever, and in that role he posted a 2.31 ERA (4.71 FIP) in 23.1 IP."
"Logan Webb is an All-Star, which indicates he has performed well despite concerns about his health."
The San Francisco Giants hold a 52-45 record at the All-Star break, placing them half a game out of a Wild Card spot. Key fulfillments include a strong Spring Training transition and solid performances from Landen Roupp, who has improved further in the season. Hayden Birdsong's performance remains uncertain, while Logan Webb has achieved All-Star status, highlighting his health and effectiveness. Ryan Walker's regression remains to be seen after fixing his mechanics, adding intrigue to his second-half potential.
