Ryan Weathers Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers recently had a three-start stretch from June 18 to June 29 in which he allowed eight runs (four earned), walked four, and struck out 17 in 14 innings against the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers (two starts). Given Weathers' strikeout upside -- he's sporting a career-high 26.9% strikeout rate and a decent 7% walk rate -- he was a popular waiver-wire target going into his start in Sunday's series finale in the Bronx against the Minnesota Twins. The 26-year-old southpaw let his fantasy managers down on Sunday, though, allowing four earned runs on six hits while walking two and striking out six in four innings for his seventh loss of the year. Weathers is now 3-7 in 2026 with a 4.29 ERA (4.05 FIP) and 1.24 WHIP with a career-high 104 strikeouts and 27 walks in 92 1/3 innings across his 17 starts. He has now allowed at least four runs in four of his last seven starts, making him hard to trust as a fantasy streamer as he heads into his final start of the first half this week versus the Washington Nationals. Weather is rostered in just over half of Yahoo leagues.

New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start in Thursday's series finale against the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium due to an illness, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The team will look to slot Weather back into the starting rotation on Monday in Baltimore against the division-rival Orioles. Veteran right-hander Paul Blackburn will make the spot start for the Yankees in Thursday's series finale against Texas. The 26-year-old Weathers will be a bit riskier as a fantasy starter in his next outing to kick off next week against an Orioles team that ranks 13th in MLB with a .710 OPS. Weathers, a former first-round pick by the San Diego Padres in 2018, has been sharp so far in 2026 in his first year with the Yankees. He's gone 2-2 with a 3.03 ERA (3.60 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and 10 walks in 38 2/3 innings of work across his seven starts. Weathers has allowed more than three earned runs in just one of his outings.

The New York Yankees announced on Wednesday that they have placed left-hander Ryan Weathers on the paternity list and recalled right-handed reliever Jake Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Weathers will be away from the team for as many as three days, and his next start is scheduled to come on Saturday against the Astros in Houston. In his last start on Sunday versus the Kansas City Royals, Weathers looked excellent, tossing 7 1/3 scoreless frames. The 26-year-old former seventh overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 2018 has been healthy so far in 2026 and has looked good in his first season in pinstripes, recording a 3.18 ERA (3.28 FIP) and 1.23 WHIP with 36 strikeouts and only eight walks in 28 1/3 innings across his five starts. If Weathers continues to pitch like this, he will need to be picked up off the waiver wire in more leagues. He's currently rostered in just under 50% of Yahoo leagues.

It was a mixed bag for New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers in his start in the Bronx on Tuesday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. Weathers allowed five earned runs on five hits (four homers surrendered) while walking two and striking out 10 in five innings of work. In the top of the first inning, the 26-year-old southpaw gave up back-to-back-to-back home runs to outfielders Mike Trout, Jo Adell, and Jorge Soler. The fourth round-tripper he allowed was to Oswald Peraza in the fourth inning. It was not exactly the outing that Weathers wanted, and he was hit with his second loss of 2026, but he also had at least seven strikeouts for the third time in his first four starts of the season. The former first-rounder now has a 4.29 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 28 strikeouts and seven walks in 21 innings pitched in his first year in pinstripes. For his swing-and-miss stuff alone from the left side, Weathers needs to be held in fantasy baseball leagues.

New York Yankees offseason acquisition Ryan Weathers (0-1) has gotten off to a good start in the 2026 season. Through three starts (16 innings pitched), he owns a 2.81 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts. Weathers, who was a former seventh overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, has been moved around to multiple different teams throughout his career thus far, but since 2024 with the Marlins, has been a reliable back-end starter when healthy, with a 3.63 ERA in 2024, a 3.99 ERA in 2025, and a 2.81 ERA thus far this season. Weather's improved control of the years (7.4 percent walk rate in 2026) and ability to miss bats at a decent rate, which is evident by his 26.5 percent strikeout rate and 25.6 percent whiff rate, make him a reliable option in most formats, with some risk to be taken on in the WHIP department (career 1.38 WHIP). However, he should be a decent source in ERA and strikeouts, and should rack up wins in the meantime, as he is backed up by one of the better offenses in MLB, making him a strong add off the waiver if available.

New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers will be in the team's Opening Day starting rotation, manager Aaron Boone told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. "He's healthy, and the stuff is in line with where it needs to be. I don't put a lot of stock in numbers in spring," Boone said. Weathers beat out right-handed pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange for the final spot in New York's rotation to begin the year despite allowing 10 runs (nine earned) on 15 hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out 12 in 9 1/3 innings of work in the Grapefruit League. The 26-year-old southpaw will have some runway to be a sleeper and matchup-based streamer until injured starters Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) are ready to make their season debuts. Injuries have limited Weathers' fantasy upside, but increased velocity this spring has many hopeful that he'll be fantasy relevant in his first year in the Bronx.

New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers looked good in his Grapefruit League debut with the Yankees on Wednesday, throwing 3 2/3 scoreless innings with no walks and five strikeouts against the Washington Nationals, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. In an effort to stay healthy in 2026 after two injury-riddled seasons, the 26-year-old southpaw has a new routine after working at Peak Kinetic Performance in the offseason. He eliminated some lifting patterns in the weight room and implemented more ground-based rolling exercises that focus on his spine. Weathers is hoping the changes he made in the offseason will keep him healthier, and he surely flashed his talent on Wednesday, topping out at a career-high 99.8 mph while averaging a 16-inch vertical break. The rest of his arsenal looked great, too, and he generated 12 whiffs. The former first-rounder has shown flashes, but injuries have held him back. His upside alone makes him worth a late-round dart throw in mixed fantasy leagues.

The New York Yankees have traded outfield prospect Dillon Lewis to the Miami Marlins in the package that brought Ryan Weathers to the Bronx. Additionally, the Yankees sent fellow prospects Brendan Jones, Dylan Jasso, and Juan Matheus to Miami. Lewis was viewed as the No. 16-ranked prospect in the New York pipeline ahead of Tuesday's trade. Lewis joined the Yankees in the 2024 draft in the 13th round out of Queens University of Charlotte. After a small taste of Low-A following the draft in 2024, Lewis received his first full look at professional baseball last season with Low-A and High-A. Across 122 games split between the levels, Lewis held a .237/.321/.445 line with 21 doubles, 22 home runs, and 26 stolen bases. Given that he spent 76 of these games with High-A, Lewis should be in the mix to debut at Double-A early in the 2026 campaign.

The New York Yankees have acquired left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Miami Marlins in exchange for minor-league outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones, along with infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus, according to Jack Curry of YES Network. Weathers is coming off a season in which he pitched just 38 1/3 innings, posting a 3.99 ERA (3.95 xERA), 1.28 WHIP, and a 22.3% strikeout rate. The 26-year-old has struggled to stay on the field, as this year was cut short by forearm and lat injuries. For his career, Weathers owns a 4.93 ERA with 235 strikeouts across 281 innings, reflecting both his raw ability and ongoing inconsistency. He brings above-average stuff and solid command, but durability remains the biggest question mark. Weathers joins a Yankees rotation that currently features Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Will Warren, and Luis Gil, with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, and Clarke Schmidt all expected to return from the injured list at some point in the summer. If Weathers hopes to carve out a long-term role in the rotation, he'll need to prove he can stay healthy. For fantasy, expect his 438.26 ADP to climb quickly.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers impressed in his return from a lat injury on Thursday. Making his first start since June 7, Weathers held the Washington Nationals scoreless over five innings of five-hit ball and logged four strikeouts against no walks on 68 pitches (46 strikes). Weathers picked up the win in a 5-0 game, improving to 2-1 on the season. Injuries have limited the 25-year-old to just six starts in 2025, but he has held his own across 29 2/3 innings. Weathers has registered a 2.73 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP, 23 strikeouts, and eight walks. He's slated to make his next start at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. While that's a challenging venue for pitchers, the Rockies' .671 OPS versus lefties ranks a lackluster 21st in the majors.
