Weaver gave up six runs and walked four batters in 4.1 innings on Saturday against the Royals.
Weaver is now 0-2 on the season. He has posted an 8.71 ERA. Weaver recorded five strikeouts against the Royals after only striking out one batter in his first start.

Weaver gave up four runs on eight hits over six innings in a losing effort against the Mariners on Monday.
With just one strikeout Monday afternoon, Weaver's first start of 2015 offered very little as the Seattle offense plated two runs in both the third and the fifth inning. Weaver will make his next start Saturday at home against the Royals.
Thu Apr 2 201519:48Weaver will start in Seattle on Opening Day
Weaver will start in Seattle on Opening Day, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports.
Weaver will be followed, in order, by C.J. Wilson, Matt Shoemaker and Hector Santiago. With the Angels expected to use a four-man rotation the first time through, Weaver's second start lines up for Saturday in Anaheim against the Royals. Owners will want to keep a close eye on Weaver's velocity, as the right-hander's fastball has only been around 82-84 mph recently.

Weaver looked strong during a Cactus League outing against the Rangers on Monday, allowing just a solo home run in five innings while striking out five.
There was no radar gun at the game, so there is no word as to whether his velocity showed an uptick, but it didn't seem to matter, as weaver retired 15 of the 16 batters he faced on the afternoon. The 32-year-old said he recognized a flaw in his mechanics after his last start, which could make him interesting to watch going forward, but Weaver could still make prospective owners nervous if he heads into the regular season with an 83 mph fastball.

Weaver allowed two runs on five hits over three innings in a Cactus League outing against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Prospective owners should be more concerned about Weaver's velocity than his stat line, as his fastball sat from 82-84 mph in the contest, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. Manager Mike Scioscia said that drop is an issue of mechanics, but for someone who averaged barely more than 86 mph on his heater last season, any sort of decline could be a concern. Weaver's ERA has risen in each of the past three seasons, culminating in a 3.59 mark last year, his worst since 2009.
Sun Jan 25 201520:50Weaver added weight during offseason
Weaver added weight during the offseason, with the hope that he'll be able to pitch deeper into games, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
Weaver's weight fell as low as 199 pounds last season, and he currently weighs in at 224 pounds. He said that he isn't focused on adding velocity, but he does hope that the extra weight will help his durability. Weaver still enters his age-33 campaign with some major question marks, after posting his worst ERA (3.59) since 2009 last season.

Weaver allowed two runs on three hits over seven innings en route to a no-decision in Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday against the Royals. He struck out six and walked two in the contest.
Weaver gave a strong showing in his first outing of the postseason Thursday, but the Angels failed to push across a run after the fifth inning, leaving the door open for a game-winning home run by Mike Moustakas in the top of the 11th. Weaver will likely look to get back on the mound for Game 4 of the series Monday, but that may be a tall order after the 31-year-old threw 100 pitches in Thursday's contest.

Weaver allowed four runs on nine hits over six innings to take a loss in his final start of the season against the Mariners on Friday. He struck out five and walked two in the contest.
Weaver was dealing with an illness earlier this week, which may have followed him to the mound Friday, as he allowed three home runs in the contest. The 31-year-old ends his 2014 campaign tied for the league lead in wins with 18, while sporting a 3.59 ERA in 213.1 innings. He will pitch in Game 1 of the ALDS.
Fri Sep 26 201415:25Weaver (illness) will start Friday against Mariners
Weaver (illness) will start Friday against the Mariners, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.
Weaver was under the weather earlier in the week but will be fine to toe the rubber Friday opposite Hisahi Iwakuma. The Angels' ace will then be afforded one extra day of rest before starting Game 1 of the ALDS next Thursday.

Weaver (illness) was feeling better Wednesday and is scheduled to start Friday, Alden Gonzalez of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Weaver was sent back to the hotel Tuesday to prevent his illness from spreading, but was feeling much better Wednesday. Although he is scheduled to pitch Friday, the team hasn't ruled out pushing the start back a day, though that would likely push his first potential postseason start back as well.

Weaver (illness) was sent back to his hotel prior to Tuesday's game against the A's, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Weaver did not attend Monday's game and was sent back to his hotel Tuesday, with manager Mike Scioscia presumably not wanting to endanger the health of his other players. It's uncertain whether the illness could jeopardize Weaver's availability for Friday's start, but he should be back at full strength well ahead of Game 1 of the ALDS.

Weaver allowed three runs on five hits in seven innings to grab his 18th win of the season against the Rangers on Saturday.
Weaver has looked like the pitcher of old in his last two starts, allowing four runs in 14 innings and striking out an impressive 19 batters over that span. The 31-year-old will have one more start Friday against the Mariners before being relied upon as the ace of The Angels' staff in the postseason.
Thu Sep 18 201419:33Weaver's next start rescheduled for Saturday against Rangers
Weaver's next start has been rescheduled for Saturday against the Rangers, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez reports.
Weaver was scratched from Thursday's start to get a bit of extra rest, as the Angels clinched an AL West title Wednesday, and manager Mike Scioscia was simply rewarding some of his key contributors. Weaver will take the hill Saturday, however, with his next start scheduled for the following Friday. After that, the plan for the Angels' veteran is to start Game 1 of the ALDS.
Thu Sep 18 201416:15Jered Weaver: Scratched From Thursday's Start
Weaver has been scratched from his scheduled start Thursday against the Mariners, Pedro Moura of the Orange County Register reports.
With the Angels wrapping up the AL West crown Wednesday night, manager Mike Scioscia has decided to reward Weaver, and likely most of his starters, with some extra rest. Lefty Wade LeBlanc, who was expected to start Saturday in place of Matt Shoemaker (oblique), will now toe the rubber Thursday opposite Felix Hernandez. It's uncertain when Weaver will start next, but it will probably be either Sunday or Monday, as he would then be lined up to start Game 1 of the ALDS on Oct. 2.

Weaver allowed a walk, four hits and one run in seven innings to go with a season-high 12 strikeouts in a win over the Astros on Saturday.
Weaver got his AL-leading 17th win of the season, as the red hot Angels won their 10th straight, improving to 93-55, the best in the majors. Over his past 17 starts, Weaver holds a 3.35 ERA and 10-2 record.

Weaver allowed three runs on six hits in six innings to pick up a win against the Indians on Monday. He struck out two and walked two in the contest.
Weaver blanked the Indians for the first four innings before allowing three runs in his final two frames of work. The effort was enough to allow Weaver to secure his 16th win of the season, which leads the American League. Weaver will take a 3.58 ERA into his next start against the Astros on Saturday.
Thu Sep 4 201412:18Weaver allowed two runs on five hits in six innings to take loss...
Weaver allowed two runs on five hits in six innings to take a loss against the Astros on Wednesday. He struck out six and walked two in the contest.
Weaver has thrown the ball well of late, allowing five runs in his last 19.2 innings while striking out 17 batters over that span. The right-hander will take a 3.56 ERA into his start against the Indians on Monday, when he will look to notch his fourth consecutive quality start.
Sat Aug 30 201412:02Weaver tossed seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits ...
Weaver tossed seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits to pick up his 15th win of the season over the A's on Friday. He walked three and struck out three in the contest.
Weaver picked a good time to toss his first scoreless outing of the season Friday, as the Angels moved three games in front of the A's in the AL West on the strength of the performance. Weaver is likely not having the season he expected of himself, as his 3.57 ERA represents the 31-year-old's highest mark since 2009, but the win moved him into a tie with Max Scherzer for the lead in the American League.

Weaver allowed three runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings to record a win over the A's on Sunday. He struck out eight batters without issuing a walk in the contest.
Weaver was working on a shutout Sunday before allowing two home runs in the seventh inning, which resulted in his removal from the contest. Despite the shaky frame, the 31-year-old looked sharp in the contest, as he tallied his highest strikeout total in over a month. He will look to build on the impressive performance when he takes a 3.72 ERA into his next start, which will also come against the A's.
Wed Aug 20 201402:42Weaver allowed three runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings en route ...
Weaver allowed three runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings en route to a no-decision against the Red Sox on Tuesday. He walked four while striking out just one in the contest.
The fate of Weaver and the Halos could have been quite different if not for Kole Calhoun, who made a spectacular catch at the left field wall to rob a would-be three-run blast off the bat of Brock Holt in the second inning. Aside from a spectacular May, when he pitched to a 1.98 ERA in five starts, Weaver has been mediocre this season, having not tallied an ERA lower than 3.94 in any other month. He will attempt to have a less exciting outing when he takes the ball against the A's on Sunday.
