Allen Webster (baseball)

Last updated

58+1⁄3 innings pitched. Webster elected free agency following the season on November 6, 2017. [11]

Chicago Cubs

On March 2, 2018, Webster signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs. [12] Across three levels in Chicago's minor league system, Webster pitched to a 2.65 ERA in 17 games, and was called up to the Major Leagues on September 19, pitching in three games for the team. [13] He was non-tendered and became a free agent on November 30.

On December 19, 2018, Webster re-signed with Chicago on a new minor league contract. [14] With the Cubs struggling at the start of the 2019 season, Webster was called up to the majors to bolster the bullpen. In his first relief appearance for the Cubs on April 6, the first batter he faced, Milwaukee's Ryan Braun, hit a three-run homer. On May 11, Webster was placed on the 10-day disabled list and later moved to the 60-day list as a result of radial nerve inflammation. On July 3, he began rehabilitation assignments with the Cubs' rookie-level affiliate, continuing on July 9 with the Double–A Tennessee Smokies. On November 4, Webster was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs on November 4. [15] He subsequently rejected the assignment and elected free agency. [16]

Washington Nationals

On March 9, 2020, Webster signed a minor league deal with the Washington Nationals. [17] He was subsequently assigned to the Nationals' Double-A affiliate, the Harrisburg Senators. However, the Senators' 2020 schedule was canceled, along with that of every other Minor League Baseball team because of the COVID-19 pandemic, [18] and Webster was released by the organization on May 31.
