Luke Weaver Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Luke Weaver (elbow) will make a start in extended spring training on Tuesday. Weaver is expected to throw two innings and 30 pitches in the appearance. The team is planning to use the 28-year-old out of the bullpen once he's ready to return to big-league action. Weaver has made just one appearance in 2022, pitching 2/3 of an inning before hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Luke Weaver (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This move is retroactive to April 8, so it's unclear how long Weaver is going to be sidelined. He allowed one run in his lone appearance of the season. The former first round pick has not lived up to expectations throughout his career. However, he was switched from the rotation to the bullpen in 2022. Hopefully, a move to the pen will help Weaver find his groove in the big leagues. Left-hander Kyle Nelson has been recalled to take Weaver's spot on the active roster.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Luke Weaver (thumb) will begin the year in the bullpen, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Weaver started two Spring Training games, pitching to an 8.31 ERA over 4.1 innings, but left his last start after experiencing a blister on his thumb. The good news is he'll be ready for Opening Day, though won't begin in the starting rotation. The 28-year-old had a modest season last year, posting a 4.25 ERA, 22.5 K%, and 1.19 WHIP over 13 starts, a season after he pitched to a 6.58 ERA. Weaver already had little fantasy value, but this news will erase any value that was left. Even with an ADP of 433, fantasy managers can find better options later in the draft.
