Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Friday that pitcher Ryan Webb, who was acquired by the Dodgers Thursday, won't be joining the team during its weekend series in Arizona, MLB.com reports.
No reason was given for Webb's absence. He has been added to the team's 40-man roster, but no indication has been made that he'll be placed on the 25-man roster. The uncertainty may spring from the team's need to promote a fifth starter to pitch Tuesday.
