Ryan Weathers Listed As Wednesday's Probable Starter
The Miami Marlins are listing left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger) as their probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at LoanDepot Park. Weathers is coming off five scoreless innings in a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville. Wednesday's start will be his first game action in the big leagues since June 7, so he'll be a shaky fantasy streamer with a likely short leash in terms of his pitch count. The matchup against the first-place Dodgers is another reason to fade Weathers in his return to Miami. Before his finger injury, the former seventh overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 2018 had a solid 3.55 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP, 67 strikeouts and 20 walks in his first full year with the Fish. He had a quality start in his lone start against LA on May 8, when he allowed three earned runs with one walk and three K's in six innings pitched.
Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger) looked good in his first minor-league rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, tossing three scoreless innings while giving up two hits, walking none and striking out three on 43 pitches (27 strikes). Weathers was moved to the 60-day injured list on July 7 to clear space on the team's 40-man roster while he recovers from a left index-finger strain. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Weathers is expected to return to Miami's starting rotation in the middle of September. The 24-year-old southpaw has been out since early June, so he figures to need at least one more rehab start before the big-league club is comfortable activating him. Weathers, a former first-rounder, had a 3.55 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 67 strikeouts in 71 innings over 13 starts earlier this year before his injury. He's most likely only going to make a start or two for the Marlins down the stretch.
Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger) threw on flat ground on Monday in front of the training staff before the contest against the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Weathers is currently on the 60-day injured list with a left index-finger strain but is hoping to throw bullpen sessions in two weeks before going on a minor-league rehab assignment. Because of the fact that the 24-year-old southpaw has been on the IL since June 8, he's going to need at least several rehab starts before rejoining Miami's starting rotation for the final month of the season in September. Weathers had an encouraging start in his first full season with the Fish, posting a 3.55 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with a 22.5 percent strikeout rate and 6.7 percent walk rate in 13 starts. Unfortunately, fantasy managers aren't going to get much out of him the rest of 2024.
Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger) has resumed playing catch this week as he recovers from a strained left index finger that landed him on the 15-day injured list in early June. Fantasy managers have probably been frustrated that Weathers is just now throwing again after missing six-plus weeks with a finger injury. The good news is that he's throwing, but the 24-year-old southpaw still has a ways to go before he's a realistic candidate to rejoin Miami's starting rotation. Given the way that he was throwing the baseball before his unfortunate finger injury, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep him stashed in an IL spot. Weathers was looking good in his first full year in South Beach with a 3.55 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with a 22.5% strikeout rate and a career-low 6.7% walk rate in 71 innings and 13 starts.
Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger) will be evaluated to throw in one to two weeks. Weathers isn't going to return anytime soon and has already been shut down for almost a month with a left index-finger strain. Even if he's cleared to resume a throwing program in one to two weeks, there's no guarantee that he'll be ready to rejoin Miami's starting rotation in the month of July. The 24-year-old southpaw is also probably going to require at least a few minor-league rehab starts before being reinstated from the injured list. When he's nearing a return, the former seventh overall pick of the San Diego Padres in 2018 will be worth a waiver-wire pickup for pitching depth in deep-mixed leagues. In his first full season in Miami, Weathers had gone 3-5 with a 3.55 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 67:20 K:BB in 13 starts (71 innings) before injuring his finger.
Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger), who is rehabbing in Jupiter, Fla., will be evaluated for throwing in a few days. Weathers was pulled after giving up a two-run home run to Cleveland Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio on the 40th pitch of his June 7 start and landed on the injured list with a left index-finger strain. If the 24-year-old southpaw can ramp up his throwing program quickly, there's a chance he could rejoin Miami's starting rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July. In his first full season with the Fish this year, Weathers has looked pretty good, going 3-5 with a 3.55 ERA (3.91 FIP) and 1.14 WHIP with a 67:20 K:BB in 71 innings over his 13 starts. His 22.5% strikeout rate is right in line with his career-high 23% mark in 2023. When healthy, he has clear streaming appeal in mixed fantasy leagues.
Ryan Weathers Placed On 15-Day IL With Index Finger Sprain
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers was placed on the 15-day IL with a left index finger strain, the club announced on Saturday. Weathers was removed from Friday night's game in the top of the third inning after his finger was noticeably irritating him. The lefty had started to turn his season around after a somewhat rough start, notching a 3.55 ERA in 13 starts. With Miami being well out of the playoff race, it's likely that the Marlins will want Weathers to take his time in his recovery so he can come back right. Fantasy managers looking to replace the lefty on their roster will want to look towards Roddery Munoz who was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday and will start Saturday night against the Cleveland Guardians.
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers posted a dominant performance during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-hander racked up seven strikeouts over six scoreless frames in the victory. He allowed only four hits and walked one batter during this stellar performance. He'll take a 3.16 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 53/20 K/BB into next week's matchup against the Texas Rangers. This is a tough matchup for Weathers, but he has shown the ability to hold his own this season.
Ryan Weathers Flirts With Perfection Against Tigers
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers dazzled in Tuesday's extra-inning victory over the Detroit Tigers, hurling eight scoreless innings on three hits and no walks with four strikeouts for a tough-luck no-decision. Weathers was flawless through five innings on Tuesday before Wenceel Perez singled to open the sixth frame and break up the perfecto bid, but it was certainly a dominant outing nonetheless. The 24-year-old former San Diego Padre has now logged three consecutive quality starts, putting together a respectable 3.81 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 38:16 K:BB with two wins over 49 2/3 innings (nine starts) from Miami's injury-ravaged rotation on the season as a whole. His next start is projected to come on Monday in a tough assignment at home against the Milwaukee Brewers, who rank as a top-five offense in most metrics at the quarter mark of the campaign, which makes Weathers a dangerous fantasy bet for that one.
Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers had a tough outing on Sunday in the 12-9 loss to the visiting Washington Nationals, although he wasn't saddled with the loss. In just four innings of work, Weathers surrendered five hits (one home run) and six earned runs while walking three and striking out three to raise his season ERA to 4.55. In addition to the three free passes, the 24-year-old southpaw hit three batters but was given a no-decision thanks to the Fish going up in this contest 7-0. It was by far Weathers' worst outing of the season to this point and he's allowed nine earned runs now in his last 9 2/3 innings. The good news is he has the perfect bounce-back opportunity up next when he's scheduled to take on the Oakland Athletics next weekend.
