Pittsburgh Pirates SP Allen Webster was released Wednesday, Dec. 16.

Fantasy Tip: It has been quite a fall from uber prospect grace for Webster. Webster will be 26 in February, so he still has time to be a post-hype boomer.

Arizona Diamondbacks SP Allen Webster was acquired by the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations Wednesday, Nov. 25.

Fantasy Tip: Webster was once a top prospect but had an awful 2015 campaign. He'll be an NL-only option. If he has a good spring, he could sneak into the mixed league flyer bin.

Arizona Diamondbacks SP Allen Webster was recalled from Class AAA Reno Wednesday, Aug. 5, and SP Zack Godley was optioned to Class AA Mobile in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Tip: The D-backs are looking to limit Godley's innings down the stretch. He can be dropped in all leagues for now, and we may not see him in the majors again until rosters expand in September. Webster had a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 5.7 strikeouts per nine innings with the Snakes early this year. He's an option for NL-only owners for the short-term, but he doesn't carry much fantasy value otherwise.

Arizona Diamondbacks SP Allen Webster was optioned to Class AAA Reno Tuesday, June 30, and RP Matt Stites was recalled from Reno in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Tip: Webster ($3,700, 7.4% of cap) had an unsightly 7.11 ERA in four starts for the Snakes this year. You can now drop him in all formats. It's unclear who will enter the rotation in his place, but Patrick Corbin (elbow) is expected to return from the DL next week to start against the Texas Rangers. Corbin is worth adding in all formats if he's available.

Arizona Diamondbacks SP Josh Collmenter has been removed from the starting rotation and will pitch from the bullpen. SP Allen Webster has been called up from Class AAA Reno and will start Saturday, June 13.

Fantasy Tip: Collmenter ($3,900, 7.8% of cap) shouldn't be surprised at the demotion, not with a 3-6 record. His WHIP was 1.67 in the past week, and he has given up 13 homers this year with a subpar record. Remove Collmenter from your lineup. See how Webster does before you consider him for a start.

As many as 10 pitchers could be competing for the final three spots in the Arizona Diamondbacks' starting rotation. SPs Josh Collmenter and Jeremy Hellickson are expected to win the first two spots in the rotation, although nothing is etched in stone. SPs Chase Anderson, Archie Bradley, Trevor Cahill, Andrew Chafin, Rubby De La Rosa, Randall Delgado, Daniel Hudson, Vidal Nuno, Robbie Ray and Allen Webster are vying for the other spots, although several of these pitchers could wind up in the bullpen or the minor leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks SP Josh Collmenter and SP Jeremy Hellickson will likely open the season in the starting rotation, but a wide variety of pitchers are in contention for the final three spots. SP Trevor Cahill and SP Vidal Nuno have the most major league experience. SP's Chase Anderson, Rubby De La Rosa, Allen Webster, and Robbie Ray received looks last season. Top SP prospect Archie Bradley will probably open the year in the minors. Other candidates include P's Andrew Chafin, Randall Delgado, and Daniel Hudson.

Boston Red Sox SP Allen Webster has a 7.27 ERA in two home starts this season. Webster starts at Fenway Park Tuesday, Aug. 19, against the visiting Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Fantasy Tip: Webster's splits also highlight his struggles against left-handed batters. Webster has allowed a career .311/.434/.588 slash line to lefties. Angels' Kole Calhoun, Brennan Boesch and Josh Hamilton should be on your radar in daily games tonight.
