Ryan Weathers exits start with forearm discomfort

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Player Stats

Ryan Weathers was removed from Saturday’s start against the Blue Jays with left forearm discomfort.

Weathers left with a trainer after recording one out and allowing three hits to open the fourth inning. He was charged with two runs on eight hits in the abbreviated outing. He struck out three and didn’t hand out a free pass. The 26-year-old southpaw is headed for additional evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue. He’s managed to avoid the injured list in his Yankees debut this season, but that appears to be in play given this latest development. He’s in obvious jeopardy of missing his next start against the Red Sox on Friday. There should be an update on his status later this weekend.

Ryan Weathers is slated to resume throwing this weekend.

Weathers, out since Aug. 23 with a flexor strain, might come off the IL as a reliever before season’s end.
Ryan Weathers

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday that he expects Ryan Weathers to return in some capacity before the 2026 season is through.

That suggests that the Yankees could envision him returning in a bullpen role. He’ll be shut down from throwing for the next two-to-four weeks before starting to ramp back up after landing on the injured list with a left forearm flexor strain on Sunday.

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Yankees placed LHP Ryan Weathers on the 15-day injured list with a left forearm flexor strain.

Weathers was forced to exit Saturday’s start against the Blue Jays in the fourth inning due to the injury. While the severity of the strain is still not known, he’s going to miss a couple of weeks at a minimum and it’s possible that it could cost the 26-year-old southpaw the remainder of the 2026 season. Brendan Beck was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move on Sunday.
Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Yankees placed LHP Max Fried on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 14, with a left elbow bone bruise.

Not great. It’s unclear how much time Fried is going to miss, but it’s a massive concern for the Yankees, and fantasy managers, with less than six weeks left in the season. He was scheduled to start against the Orioles on Wednesday. The 32-year-old southpaw limited the Mariners to one run over five innings last Thursday in his fifth start back from the injured list after missing time for the same issue earlier this season. It’ll be Carlos Rodón (elbow) taking his spot in New York’s rotation, which means that neither Will Warren or Ryan Weathers are heading to the bullpen now.
Carlos Rodón

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Carlos Rodón (elbow) will be activated from the injured list to start against the Orioles on Tuesday.

Rodón returns to New York’s rotation for the first time since hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation back on July 3. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw recorded seven punchouts over 4 1/3 shutout frames for Double-A Somerset in his final rehab tune-up last week. He shouldn’t have any significant workload restrictions in his return from the injured list and should be rostered in all fantasy formats. His return bumps Will Warren back an additional day and figures to push hard-throwing southpaw Ryan Weathers into a relief role.
Ryan Weathers

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Ryan Weathers continued a tremendous stretch of pitching on Sunday against the Blue Jays, throwing 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball while striking out four.

Weathers allowed six hits and one walk in a no-decision. He was in line for the victory before ninth-inning defensive struggles sent the game to extras. Regardless, the southpaw has been on quite the run. He entered Sunday’s outing with a 2-0 record and a 0.74 ERA over his previous four starts. Acquired from the Marlins this past offseason, Weathers has been a key piece of the Yankees’ strong rotation. He’ll get a rematch with the Blue Jays next time out.

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Ryan Weathers held the Mariners to one run in 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision Tuesday.

Randy Arozarena’s homer in the sixth was the only damage, as none of Weathers’ three walks hurt him. Unfortunately, he needed one more out to secure a win, as the Yankees didn’t take the lead until the bottom of the seventh. Weathers remains 5-7 with a 3.69 ERA ahead of a start in Toronto on Sunday.
Ryan Weathers

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Ryan Weathers blanked the Cardinals over six innings to pick up a win for the Yankees on Tuesday.

This makes back-to-back starts where Weathers hasn’t allowed a run, and he’s given up just one over his last three over 18 2/3 innings. That’ll work. In this outing, Weathers struck out six while issuing just one walk, and he scattered four hits in a very impressive outing for the 26-year-old that lowers his ERA to 3.79. If there’s no change to the rotation order, Weathers will face Seattle in New York on Tuesday.

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Ryan Weathers shut out the White Sox for seven innings in a no-decision Thursday.

Weathers wasn’t as impressive as Sean Burke today, but he wound up with the better end result, completing one more scoreless frame than the White Sox’s right-hander. Weathers struck out four and walked three. He allowed nine hard-hit balls, but just two produced hits and one was a double-play ball. This makes three times this year that Weathers has completed seven scoreless innings, though he’s only gotten a win for one of those. He remains 4-7 with a 3.99 ERA through 21 starts. He’ll face the Cardinals next.

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Ryan Weathers held the Phillies to one run in 5 2/3 innings and struck out seven Saturday to pick up his fourth win of the year.

Weathers, whose velocity was up 1-1.5 mph from his season averages tonight, has his July victory after also getting one apiece in April, May and June. He deserves a little better than a 4-7 record for his 4.25 ERA in 20 starts, and the Yankees have gone 10-10 with him on the mound. He seems to be clearly ahead of Will Warren in the Yankees’ thoughts right now, which might prove important when Carlos Rodón is ready to come off the injured list. He’ll face the White Sox next week.

Jeffrey Springs shut out the Mariners for seven innings in the Athletics’ 6-2 win Saturday.

Springs allowed just two hits and struck out six in his second scoreless start of the year. The other was against the Yankees way back on Apr. 9. He won that one and then beat Texas five days later to improve to 3-0 on the season. Since then, though, he had been 0-10 in 21 starts. The showing tonight lowered his ERA to 6.02. He’ll face the A’s again in Sacramento next weekend.

George Kirby yielded four runs — three earned — in 6 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the A’s.

Kirby’s recent struggles had been limited to his road outings, but back at home tonight, he was outpitched by Jeffrey Springs in another Mariners loss. He has a 6.35 ERA in his last five starts, leaving him 9-11 with a 4.18 ERA overall. He’s neck and neck with Seth Lugo for the most hits allowed in the AL. If he ends up on top, it’d be his second time in three years leading the AL, which seems unfathomable for a pitcher who gets to spend half of his time in a ballpark that just kills batting average. He’ll face the A’s again next weekend, this time in Sacramento. It makes him a poor option in mixed leagues.

Max Muncy went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI against the Mariners on Saturday.

With Tommy White needing a break, Muncy has started three straight games, including the last two at DH, and he’s homered in back-to-back contests. The success might get him some extra playing time after White returns; the 24-year-old is not necessarily one of the Athletics’ best options, but there isn’t much reason to play Donovan Walton and Michael Stefanic over him.

Tyler Glasnow surrendered four runs in six-plus innings Saturday versus the Nationals.

Glasnow was hit pretty hard and issued three walks, but he struck out eight and would have had a quality start if he hadn’t been brought back out to give up a double to start the seventh. The runner later scored off Alex Vesia. It’s the second time in 10 starts this season that Glasnow has allowed four runs. Thanks to the Dodgers’ comeback, he still hasn’t taken a loss while going 4-0 with a 3.12 ERA. He’ll face the Marlins next weekend.

Cade Cavalli pitched six innings of two-run ball Saturday in a no-decision against the Dodgers.

Cavalli, who struck out eight and walked none, departed with a two-run lead that immediately disappeared in the bottom of the seventh. It’s the fourth time this year that he’s left in line for a win and watched the bullpen blow it, but he’s a fine 12-5 anyway. He’ll face the Angels next weekend.

Clayton Beeter gave up a three-run homer in the seventh to take his seventh blown save and fifth loss Saturday against the Dodgers.

Beeter did pretty decent work back when the Nationals were treating him as a one-inning closer, but he’s about a month removed from his last save chance now and the fireman role of coming into games in the seventh and pitching more than an inning doesn’t really seem to suit him. Giving up six runs in his last two appearances has taken his ERA from 3.45 to 4.50. It doesn’t seem like anyone in the Nationals pen will be worth rostering over the final three weeks.

Joshua Báez went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home run against the Rockies on Saturday.

Báez’ home run was his seventh of the season. He hit a solo shot off Mason Adams in the second inning. Báez is now 8-for-21 (.380) with three home runs and six RBI over his last seven games. He’s hitting .229 with an .872 OPS and 15 RBI in his first taste of the major leagues. Báez’ tools are loud enough to put up with the strikeouts and low average.
