Ryan Weathers Fantasy Stats

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.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (lat) is scheduled to come off the 60-day injured list and start on Thursday against the division-rival Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Weathers has been cleared to rejoin the club's big-league starting rotation after making several minor-league rehab starts and getting through a live bullpen session on Monday. The 25-year-old southpaw only made it up to 68 pitches in his final rehab start and has been on the shelf since June 9 with a strained left lat, so fantasy managers should be tempering expectations for Weathers' first start back despite the juicy matchup against the Nats. The former first-rounder of the San Diego Padres has only made five starts in 2025, but he did have 80 K's with a 3.63 ERA in 16 starts over 86 2/3 innings in his first year in Miami in 2024.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (lat) was scheduled to throw live batting practice on Wednesday, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. It will be the first time that Weathers has faced live hitters since landing on the injured list in early June with a lat strain. If the 25-year-old southpaw gets through Monday's session without suffering a setback, it's possible that he'll be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment later this week. The Marlins are not going to rush him back, but Weathers is expected to return to the team's starting rotation in the final month of the season in September. Due to injuries, he's managed to make only five starts in 2025, but he's pitched well, sporting a 3.28 ERA (4.45 FIP) and 1.05 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and eight walks in 24 2/3 innings thrown. Obviously, Weathers doesn't have much left to offer in fantasy this year.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (lat) was able to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. This is a positive step forward for Weathers who is working his way back from a lat strain he suffered in early June. This session was the first time that Weathers has thrown off a mound since his injury. The southpaw still needs to build up his pitch count and stamina before returning to the big league mound. The expectation is that Weathers is going to need a rehab assignment before returning to the Marlins. Possibly, Weathers is able to pitch for the big league club before the end of August.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (lat) has been placed on the 60-day injured list on Monday. Weathers was pulled from his most recent start on Saturday after reportedly dealing with discomfort. The Marlins had Weathers undergo further testing, which revealed a lat strain. This looks like it's going to be a lengthy absence with Weathers being placed on the 60-day injured list. It's tough for fantasy managers to warrant holding Weathers through this injury. The Marlins haven't said who is going to take the vacant spot in the starting rotation.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (shoulder) is back in Miami to be evaluated for shoulder discomfort, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Weathers had a rough start on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays, as he showed diminished velocity and then was hit in the head by catcher Nick Fortes between innings. His head is fine, but the Marlins are worried about his shoulder after he was seen flexing his arm during his outing over the weekend. The 25-year-old southpaw started the year on the injured list with a forearm injury, which is why he's been limited to only five starts. In his five starts, Weathers has a strong 3.28 ERA (4.40 FIP) and 1.05 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and eight walks in 24 2/3 innings pitched. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, but his next start is firmly in jeopardy, and he could be in danger of going on the IL for the second time in 2025.
