Ryan Weathers Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Friday that pitcher Ryan Weathers (forearm) is unlikely to pitch again before the end of the regular season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Weathers is currently working his way back from a forearm flexor strain that has sidelined him since late August. The Yankees were hopeful that Weathers could return in a bullpen role, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards anymore. There is still a chance that Weathers returns in time to help the Yankees during the postseason. He probably won't have enough time to build up to become a starter, but something is better than nothing. Fantasy managers in redraft formats who are still holding Weathers can safely move on.

New York Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers (forearm) is set to throw from a mound at some point next week. The 26-year-old has been on the Injured List with a forearm flexor strain but continues to make progress toward a regular-season return. After completing a series of long-distance throws from the outfield on Saturday, manager Aaron Boone said that the next step for Weathers would be some mound work. Once that is complete with no setbacks, there is still a chance for him to return to the Yankees as a reliever before the playoffs begin. That being said, with so many options already, it is unclear if he will receive high-leverage opportunities at all, given the nature of his injury.

The New York Yankees announced on Sunday that they placed left-hander Ryan Weathers (forearm) on the 15-day injured list with a left-forearm flexor strain and recalled right-hander Brendan Beck from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Weathers will most likely be sidelined beyond two weeks, but we will not have a clearer picture of a timeline for his return until he undergoes an MRI exam. The Yankees' rotation depth is being tested in the dog days of summer, with Weathers joining fellow left-hander Max Fried (elbow) on the IL. The 26-year-old southpaw has gone 5-8 with a 3.60 ERA (3.60 FIP) and 1.22 WHIP with 143 strikeouts and 38 walks in 137 1/3 innings pitched in his 25 starts for the Yankees in 2026 in his first year in the Bronx. Weathers should have a rotation spot waiting for him when he is recovered from his forearm injury, but he might not have many opportunities to help fantasy managers to close out the season in September. Right-hander Will Warren's spot in the Yankees' rotation will be secure now for at least another few weeks.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (forearm) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's start against the Toronto Blue Jays. Weathers was only able to get through 3.1 innings before leaving due to left forearm discomfort, Meredith Marakovits reports. It was a rough outing for Weathers, who allowed eight hits and two earned runs before exiting with a trainer early in the fourth inning. The expectation is that the 26-year-old will require additional imaging to determine the severity of the injury. His next scheduled start is against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Fantasy managers will need to check back after the imaging is done to see if Weathers will be able to make that start.

New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers' next start is being moved to Monday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Weathers was originally scheduled to face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday before the contest was postponed by inclement weather. The Yankees have opted not to use Weathers during their doubleheader in the Bronx on Sunday, so he'll be pushed back to start the new week and will be in line for a two-start week for fantasy managers instead. It will definitely improve the 26-year-old southpaw's matchup in what will be his 19th start of the year. The former seventh overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 2018 has gone 3-7 in his first year with the Yanks with a 4.15 ERA (3.87 FIP) and 1.24 WHIP with a career-high 110 strikeouts and 27 walks in 97 2/3 innings pitched. A career-high 26.9% strikeout rate makes Weathers a sneaky matchup-based streamer. The Pirates rank second in baseball in OPS, but they also have the second-most strikeouts, making Weathers an intriguing starter on Monday.

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.
