Weaver (hip) threw a full bullpen session Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
Two days after his first bullpen session since landing on the DL, Weaver got right back at it, this time incorporating all of his pitches. He said it went well and that he will throw another one Saturday. While Weaver appears to making strong progress, the Angels have effectively ruled him out through the All-Star break.

Weaver (hip) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Monday, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.
He threw all fastballs during Monday's session, and the plan for Weaver includes another bullpen session in the coming days where he'll mix in all of his pitches. Currently, he's expected to return to the Anaheim rotation after the All-Star break.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Monday as he recovers from a hip injury, according to MLB.com. Weaver threw only fastballs during Monday's session and will work up to throwing his full repertoire of pitches before making his expected return after the All-Star break.

The Angels don't expect Weaver (hip) to return until after the All-Star break, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports.
Though the Angels are ruling out a return for the right-hander in the 15-day minimum, Weaver could miss as few as two starts due to a favorable schedule that will allow the team to get by without a fifth starter in the next few weeks. Manager Mike Scioscia said that Weaver would be barred from throwing for the next five days before team doctors re-evaluate him and determine if he's ready to start up a program of activities. The Angels appear to be eyeing Cory Rasmus (core muscle surgery), who is currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake, as the top candidate to replace Weaver in the rotation.

Weaver (hip) underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed no muscle tearing, Jeff Fletcher of the OC Register reports.
Weaver, who hit the DL on Sunday with inflammation in his left hip, will be shut down for the next five days in hopes that the swelling will subside. The MRI results obviously come as a relief to the Angels, as Weaver may have required surgery had tearing been present.
Sun Jun 21 201513:59Jered Weaver: (Hip) Placed On 15-Day DL
Weaver was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to left hip inflammation.
Weaver took the loss in Saturday's outing, but didn't appear to show any physical limitations at the time. Perhaps the ailment has contributed to yet another significant drop in fastball velocity this season, but only time will tell if that's the case. With a team off day scheduled for Thursday, the Angels should be able to get through one more turn on a four-man rotation, and a decision on a fifth starter will likely be made after that.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to left hip inflammation.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to left hip inflammation. Weaver took the loss during Saturday's game against the Oakland A's, but he did not appear to show any physical limitations. He will reportedly undergo an MRI and other tests Monday to help determine the cause of the issue, and a clearer return date could be made at that point. With the Angels off Thursday, they can get through one more turn of a four-man rotation before a decision on a fifth starter will have to be made. Weaver has struggled considerably this season, as he is 4-8 with a 4.75 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 96.2 innings across 15 starts, the worst ERA of his career and first time he has been over 4.00 since the 2008 season when he had a 4.33 mark over 30 starts.

Weaver took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out four.
He's now 4-8 with a 4.75 ERA on the season, with an average fastball velocity that has dropped below 85 mph, and while Weaver's long track record of effectiveness will likely convince the Angels to keep him in their rotation a while longer yet, there's little reason for fantasy players to give him the same long leash. His next start, if you need to take the risk, comes on Friday, at home to the Mariners.

Weaver gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits over seven innings and took the loss Monday against Arizona to fall to 4-7. He struck out two and walked four.
Weaver gave up two more home runs Monday and has now allowed 16 on the season, putting him in a four-way tie for most among starting pitchers. Weaver has just 45 strikeouts in 91 innings, and the resulting 4.4 K/9 would be a career worst by two full points. Expect the dinger parade to continue as long he's allowing such consistent contact.

Weaver (4-6) gave up four runs and eight hits over 7.2 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Rays. He struck out one and walked three.
With Wednesday's loss, Weaver fell to 4-1 in six starts at Tropicana Field. The 32-year-old has seen his ERA rise year after year, and this season, he sports a career-worst 4.61 ERA. Weaver lost for the second game in a row and he'll look to bounce back in his next scheduled start Monday against the Diamondbacks.

Weaver allowed seven runs on nine hits, he did not walk a batter and struck out two over 5.2 innings of an 8-7 loss to the Yankees on Friday night.
The pummeling broke a string of five consecutive quality starts, but he had been ducking away from hard hit balls over most of that. Weaver (4-5, 4.60 ERA) works with just a mid 80s fastball and relies exclusively on command and keeping hitters off balance at this stage of his career. He's a wily veteran, but his severely depleted repertoire makes him a very risky play in fantasy circles.

Weaver (4-4) worked around nine hits over 6.1 innings Saturday against Detroit, giving up three runs while striking out three without a walk in an 8-6 victory.
The resurgence continues for Weaver, who's now delivered five straight quality starts, going 4-0 with a 23:5 K:BB in that span. He's still giving up too many hits -- the league's .255 average against him is the worst mark he's posted since 2007 -- but Weaver's still been junkballing effectively. He'll get the Yankees on Friday.

Weaver walked away with a no-decision in Monday's walk-off win against the Padres, despite holding the opposition to one run on six hits and a walk over 6.2 innings. He also established a season-high with seven strikeouts.
Weaver departed with a 3-0 lead after recording the first two outs of the seventh inning and allowing an infield single, but reliever Jose Alvarez couldn't finish off the frame. The Padres ultimately compiled three runs in the inning to tie the game and keep Weaver's record at 3-4. Weaver has appeared to turn the corner with four consecutive quality starts, but with his fastball velocity falling precipitously this season, he's striking out a career-worst 4.9 batters per nine innings.
Thu May 21 201500:27Weaver (3-4) held Jays to three runs on four hits and three walk...
Weaver (3-4) held the Jays to three runs on four hits and three walks over seven innings in Wednesday's victory. He struck out four.
All of a sudden, following a brutal start to the year, Weaver has turned in three consecutive credible outings. He's still not exactly a high-upside arm, but it's clear that there's room for improvement in his ERA, which is still a career-high 4.37. Weaver will next draw the visiting Padres on Monday.
Fri May 15 201521:43Weaver allowed just one run on three hits, walking one and strik...
Weaver allowed just one run on three hits, walking one and striking out three over 7.1 innings of a win against the Orioles on Friday night.
After getting off to a dreadful start that saw his record stand at 0-4 with a 6.29 ERA after six starts, Weaver has now posted back-to-back gems. His velocity remains in the upper 80s which is pretty much the norm for him at this stage of his career, but he has located everything exceptionally well in these last two starts and could very well be moving towards fantasy relevancy again.

Weaver twirled a gem Friday, pitching a complete game shutout along with six strikeouts in the 2-0 win over the Astros.
Weaver has been off to a dreadful start this season, but lowered his ERA from 6.29 to 4.98 with this complete game shutout. He reached 88 MPH in this game for the first time all season and was fantastic at mixing up speeds to fool the Astros hitters all night long. He'll look to build off this strong performance when he takes on Baltimore next Friday in a very difficult matchup.

Weaver allowed five runs (including two home runs) on 10 hits while striking out two in a loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Weaver has now allowed eight home runs in six starts this season, while permitting four or more runs in four of those outings. Weaver has lost more than three miles per hour on his average fastball since 2014, and while he has been a control pitcher for most of his career, he has yet to show success while dealing with such a large drop-off. He will look to turn things around in his next start against the Astros on Friday.

Weaver (0-3) gave up six runs and six hits in seven innings, striking out one and walking none against the A's on Tuesday.
After surrendering five runs in the first, Weaver settled in and retired 12 straight batters, but it was too late as the A's held the Angels to only two runs. Weaver, an 18-game winner last season, remains winless in five starts to begin the season. He is now 0-3 for the first time in his career. His next start will be on Sunday against the Giants.

Weaver allowed two runs over six innings en route to a no-decision against the Astros on Friday.
Weaver struck out three without walking a batter, but allowed his fourth home run in three starts. The 32-year-old is sporting an average fastball velocity of 83.3 miles per hour and while that could pick up a bit as the season progresses, his lack of velocity appears to have made him vulnerable to the long ball, as he allowed a career-worst 1.1/9 last season. Weaver's experience on the mound should allow him to navigate post some quality outings, but the tendency to allow homers is concerning, as keeping the ball in the park was a major strength for the veteran early in his career. He will take the ball against the A's on Wednesday.
