Arizona starting pitcher Brandon Webb, who has been out since Opening Day with a right shoulder injury, had season-ending surgery Monday, the team said. Webb, a 22-game winner last season, had the procedure done in Arlington, Texas, the team announced in New York prior to Monday's game with the Mets. The 2006 NL Cy Young Award winner had previously announced he did not need surgery, after visiting three specialists.

Ace right-hander Brandon Webb has decided to undergo season-ending arthroscopic right shoulder surgery, the Arizona Diamondbacks announced. The team said on its Web site the procedure will be performed Monday in Arlington, Texas, by Keith Meister, the team physician for the Texas Rangers. He thinks my labrum is fine, Webb said in a text message to MLB.com.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have put ace right-hander Brandon Webb on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder stiffness. Webb missed his scheduled start Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and the team said on its Web site he felt soreness Sunday while playing catch. A recent MRI exam showed no structural problems, but the Diamondbacks' team physician, Michael Lee, diagnosed bursitis. The 2006 National League Cy Young Award winner started against the Colorado Rockies last Monday and was shelled for six runs and six hits -- two homers -- with two walks in four innings while tying to pitch through the pain. It feels better than it did, Webb said.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum has been named the 2008 National League Cy Young Award winner by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
