What's happening with Ryan Webb?

SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles reliever Ryan Webb said he's scheduled to pitch again today against the Rays in Port Charlotte. It's one of the few certainties in his baseball life.

Webb is out of options and unsure whether he's breaking camp with the team. He's narrowing his focus to getting ready for the 2015 season and letting the front office worry about the composition of the 25-man roster and bullpen.

"Well, I'm still here, so as far as I know, that's where I'm going to be," he said. "I realize that the numbers don't quite add up and we have a week left. I'm sure they have a plan on what they're trying to do and I think we'll see how that works out here at the end of the week.

"It's up to them to make those kinds of decisions and we're all just waiting to see how it shakes out. But I think obviously people have been having good springs, they're healthy and that's a good problem for them to have. I think either way they're going to be able to put together a good team and the guys they want, and those guys who are left, I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I guess we'll find out in a week."

The Orioles owe Webb $2.75 million in the final year of his contract. He's a trade candidate, but the money is a hindrance. It also may keep teams from claiming him if the Orioles designate him for assignment.

Webb could decline an outright assignment if he cleared waivers, but he'd forfeit his salary.

None of this consumes him as spring training winds down.

"It's our job to just go out there and make sure we're ready for the Orioles this season and if it doesn't work out, then we'll be ready to pitch somewhere else," he said. "Spring training is just about getting ready and that's what we're here doing. I've had a long enough career to where I've worried about things like that in the past and when you start worrying about things you can't control, if affects what you're trying to do personally to get ready.

"There's just no sense in trying to figure out what's going on because you never have it figured out. It's just a daily grind of coming in here and making sure you're ready to take the field. That's what we're doing."

Webb didn't pitch for 14 days because of a sore left knee. He's allowed three runs and five hits in five innings, with one walk and three strikeouts. He retired the Yankees in order with two strikeouts on Saturday, easily his best results of the spring.

"Obviously, with the knee thing I had to miss a couple of outings and that kind of sets you back a little bit in spring training because every outing's important to get a feel for what you're doing," Webb said. "I had an opportunity to throw a lot of bullpens and then come back and get in the games, and (Saturday) I felt pretty good, like I was getting back in a comfortable rhythm. That's important to kind of build off that.

"I'll throw again Monday and then we've got a couple more days. I don't know how much more I'll get into the games, but building off that felt good. It's just important to get into that rhythm. If you can get a good rhythm going in the first week, then it doesn't matter how much time you missed. So my goal is to build off that and stay working down in the zone and get the breaking ball across, which was working (Saturday), and just feel comfortable out there. It definitely felt like that and I look forward to just keeping that going."

Zach Davies, 22, gets the start today against the Rays, while Wei-Yin Chen pitches in a minor league game to avoid facing a team he's going to see during the first series at Tropicana Field - most likely slotted between Chris Tillman and Miguel Gonzalez. Davies, a 26th-round pick in 2011 out of Mesquite (Ariz.) High School, went 10-7 with a 3.35 ERA last summer in 21 appearances (20 starts) at Double-A Bowie.
