Yankees' Ryan Weathers Removed With Left Forearm Discomfort
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays due to forearm discomfort and is scheduled for imaging to assess the injury.
- Weathers struggled through his outing, throwing 72 pitches before being pulled in the fourth inning, raising concerns given his history of forearm and lat injuries.
- This season, Weathers has been a reliable starter for the Yankees with a 3.56 ERA and over one strikeout per inning, having been acquired in an offseason trade with the Marlins.
- With Weathers injured and Max Fried sidelined with a left elbow bone bruise, Will Warren's spot in the rotation appears secure, while righty Elmer Rodriguez could provide spot starts if necessary.
- Luis Gil is currently working his way back from a shoulder injury and may be more likely to fill a bullpen role than return to the starting rotation this season.
