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.

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.

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.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers struggled in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Weathers went for 5 2/3 innings pitched while allowing six hits, one homer, and three runs while walking three batters and only striking out one. The 24-year-old moves to 2-2 on the season with a 3.16 ERA, an 8.1 K/9 rate, and a 4.1 BB/9 rate through five games. The Marlins played it safe in his previous start against the San Francisco Giants where they pulled him due to cramping in his left hand. While it wasn't a huge concern before, fantasy managers will want to watch him in his next start versus the Washington Nationals to see if the left-hand cramping is an issue.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (hand) was removed from his start on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants for precautionary reasons due to cramping in his left hand. Before departing, Weathers was in command, allowing two earned runs on five hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out a career-high 10 batters while matching his career-high with six innings pitched in his second win of the season. The 24-year-old threw 90 pitches in the outing and probably wasn't going to go much deeper into the game regardless. It sounds like his injury isn't anything serious, so fantasy managers should expect Weathers to make his next scheduled start this Sunday in Chicago against the Cubbies. With the strong effort on Tuesday, Weathers is now 2-1 on the year with a 2.70 ERA for the Fish.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers quieted the New York Yankees in Wednesday's 5-3 victory, tossing five scoreless innings on three hits and three walks while fanning one hitter. Weathers was not particularly dominant in this one, but he got the job done by not allowing any of his baserunners to score. The 24-year-old left-hander has been a first-round bust to this point in his career but holds a sharp 2.57 ERA through 14 innings for the Fish to begin the season. His 1.50 WHIP is concerning, however, and his lack of strikeout stuff limits his overall fantasy appeal. Weathers gets a good matchup in his next scheduled start at home versus the San Francisco Giants next Tuesday, when he'll be worth streaming consideration.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers tossed five innings in a no-decision against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. The lefty tossed five innings and allowed three hits, three runs, three walks and struck out six. The six strikeouts are nice and he now has 11 on the season in nine innings, but the walks are a red flag with five to date. Weather is a former prized pitching prospect who came over from the San Diego Padres this offseason and will be heavily counted out with the Marlins dealing with a massive number of injuries in their pitching department. If Weather can limit the walks, he can be useful in deeper leagues. He will look to limit baserunners in his next start against the New York Yankees on Wednesday.

The Miami Marlins acquired left-hander Ryan Weathers from the San Diego Padres prior to Tuesday's trade deadline, according to the team. In return, the Padres are receiving first baseman Garrett Cooper, right-hander Sean Reynolds, and cash. The 23-year-old has struggled mightily this year, posting a 6.25 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 14.8% strikeout rate over 12 games (10 starts). It's not clear how Weathers will fit onto the roster, as the Marlins only have four true starters on the Major League club. However, wherever he ends up, fantasy managers can keep him on the waiver wire until he makes some major changes.

The San Diego Padres are expected to recall lefty Ryan Weathers to the big leagues to start one game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. The 23-year-old struggled in the first half with the club, posting a 6.08 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 15.5% strikeout rate over 11 games and nine starts before the team demoted him in mid-June. Weathers will likely return to Triple-A after his start, and fantasy managers in all formats can continue to ignore the former first-round pick.

San Diego Padres left-hander Ryan Weathers' next start is scheduled for Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays, who have scored the sixth-most runs and have the third-highest OPS in the majors in 2023. It will likely be his last start before moving to the bullpen or being optioned to the minors with Seth Lugo (calf) on track to return to the starting rotation the next time through. Weathers had allowed 17 runs (15 earned) over his previous four starts (17 1/3 innings) before he gave up a run in only three innings of work on Saturday against the Colorado Rockies. Fantasy managers will want to avoid the 23-year-old southpaw as a streamer this weekend against Tampa. Overall, he's gone 1-4 with a 4.93 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings this year.

The San Diego Padres recalled left-hander Ryan Weathers from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday to take the rotation spot of right-hander Seth Lugo (calf), who was placed on the injured list. Weathers, 23, has already pitched in six games (four starts) for San Diego this year, allowing nine runs on 18 hits (two homers) while walking nine and striking out 14 in 23 2/3 innings of work. In eight minor-league innings, he has yet to allow a run, so he's been pitching pretty well in just his third big-league campaign. Weathers has a 5.09 ERA (5.23 FIP) and only a 17.3 percent strikeout rate in 37 appearances for the Friars since 2021, but he's still worth a speculative waiver-wire addition in deeper leagues now that he has at least a short-term rotation spot.

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ryan Weathers has been recalled from Triple-A El Paso and will start on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 23-year-old has a 2.50 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 18 innings (five appearances, three starts) at the big league level this year. Calling up Weathers allows San Diego to rest Michael Wacha for another day before he starts on Monday. Weathers can be avoided for streaming purposes.

San Diego Padres left-hander Ryan Weathers has won the final spot in the team's six-man rotation, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. The 23-year-old had a rocky Spring Training, pitching to a 4.91 ERA with a 1.57 WHIP and six walks over 14.2 innings, but collected 20 strikeouts. Weathers hasn't been too successful at the Major League level, as he owns a career 5.49 ERA with a 5.42 FIP, striking out batters at just a 17.8% rate and posting an 8.1% walk rate across 31 appearances. In 2022, he only pitched in one game with the Padres but struggled in Triple-A, with a 6.73 ERA. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too excited about Weathers and will want to wait and see if he's figured something out before making a move.

San Diego Padres pitcher Ryan Weathers coughed up five earned runs over three innings Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Making his first start since August, the swingman permitted five hits and three walks while fanning two. After a strong start to his rookie campaign, the league caught up to Weathers' subpar stuff as he posted an ugly 9.25 ERA after the All-Star break, ultimately losing his starting gig. Unless he's pressed into duty this weekend, the southpaw will finish the season with a 5.32 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 18 percent strikeout rate over 94 innings (30 appearances, 18 starts). Still only 21, Weathers will need to improve his arsenal if he wants to stick to a big league rotation. He won't be a fantasy option in redraft formats heading into the offseason.
