Jun 9 2025The Marlins placed Weathers on the 60-day injured list Monday due to a left lat strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers flew back to Miami on Monday to be evaluated for shoulder discomfort that he experienced during Saturday's start against the Rays. Further tests revealed a lat strain, which is severe enough for the 25-year-old southpaw to go on the 60-day IL. That puts mid-August the earliest he can return to the majors, but the fact he was placed on the 60-day IL (rather than 15-day) indicates that his absence could be longer. It's the second time Weathers has been on the IL this year after missing the start of the 2025 season due to a left forearm injury. In corresponding moves, Eury Perez (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day IL and Connor Gillispie was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville.
Jun 7 2025Weathers was evaluated for a head injury after exiting Saturday's start in the third inning, Nate Karzmer of Fish on First reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was seen flexing his arm and experienced diminished velocity before being pulled, so it was assumed he was dealing with an arm injury. However, he was hit in the head on a practice throw by Nick Fortes after warmup pitches in the first inning, which is apparently the primary cause for concern. The Marlins announced Weathers didn't suffer a significant injury, but it will still be worth monitoring his status leading up to his next projected start.
Jun 1 2025Weathers (1-1) took the loss against the Giants on Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers generated an impressive 17 whiffs on 99 pitches and was largely undone by a three-run homer in the fourth inning. It marked the first time the southpaw completed six innings since returning from the injured list May 14, though he had allowed just two earned runs over his previous three starts. He'll carry a 2.49 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB across 21.2 innings into a road matchup with the Rays next weekend.
May 26 2025Weathers allowed two unearned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers continued his strong start to the campaign Monday, coming up one out short of a quality start against his former team. This was the first time he's been tagged for multiple runs across three starts, as a two-out error by Connor Norby allowed the Padres to extend a rally in the fourth inning. Weathers threw 94 pitches (53 strikes) in this outing, displaying a bit of shaky control, but he looks fully stretched out at this point after opening the year on the injured list due to a forearm strain. Weathers has a 1.15 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 15.2 innings. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants over the weekend.
May 21 2025Weathers came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits over five innings. He struck out four without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty served up a solo shot to Kyle Tucker in the first inning but otherwise held Chicago's bats in check for a second straight start, only to see the Marlins' bullpen melt down as soon as he left the mound. Weathers has given up two runs in 10 innings with a 9:1 K:BB since coming off the injured list last week, and he'll look to stay sharp in a potential revenge game early next week when Miami travels to San Diego -- the team that drafted Weathers in the first round in 2018.
May 14 2025Weathers (1-0) picked up the win Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with five strikeouts across five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Miami activated Weathers off the injured list for Wednesday's start after a forearm injury kept the 25-year-old sidelined since the beginning of the season. While he threw only 76 pitches - an expected outcome after maxing out at 57 pitches during his rehab assignment - Weathers took care of business against a potent Cubs offense. His lone blemish came in the fourth inning when Seiya Suzuki lifted a solo homer. His next start is scheduled for Tuesday in a rematch with the Cubs.
May 9 2025Weathers (forearm) is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It will be Weathers' 2025 debut after he suffered a strained forearm during spring training. He's made three rehab starts while on the 15-day injured list, registering a 1.69 ERA and 13:4 K:BB across 10.2 innings. Weathers threw just 57 pitches in his latest rehab start, so it's likely he won't be fully stretched out Wednesday.
May 4 2025Weathers (forearm) struck out four and allowed two earned runs on two hits and four walks in 2.2 innings in his second rehab start Friday with Triple-A Jacksonville. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After tossing three perfect innings in his first rehab outing at Single-A Jupiter on April 27, Weathers wasn't nearly as efficient Friday while shifting his assignment to Triple-A, but he built up from 35 pitches to 64. The southpaw is scheduled to pitch once more with Jacksonville, and if he can deliver improved results while also increasing his workload, he could be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list and make his Miami debut early next week. Weathers missed considerable time in 2024 due to a left index finger sprain, but he was highly effective over his 16 starts with Miami last season, logging a 3.63 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 80:24 K:BB across 86.2 innings.
May 2 2025Weathers (forearm) is continuing his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander is working his way back from a forearm strain he suffered during spring training, and he covered three scoreless innings during his first rehab start last weekend. Weathers will continue building up his workload Friday and will likely require at least one additional rehab outing beyond that before making his season debut for the Marlins.
Apr 15 2025Weathers (forearm) threw a bullpen session at LoanDepot Park on Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander will throw a couple additional bullpen sessions before being cleared for a rehab assignment if all goes well. Coming back from a left flexor strain, Weathers hopes to rejoin the Marlins' rotation by the first week of May.
Mar 31 2025Weathers (forearm) is expected to begin a throwing progression later this week, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers opened the season on the 15-day injured list after suffering a left flexor strain late in spring training. The southpaw appears to have responded well to a brief shutdown period, but he'll likely face an extended ramp-up period as he looks to get stretched back out for a starting role. If all goes well during that process, Weathers could be ready to return from the IL by late April, in a best-case scenario.
Mar 27 2025The Marlins placed Weathers on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left forearm strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers is expected to be shelved for at least the first month or so of the season with the injury. With Weathers and Edward Cabrera (blister) out, the Marlins have Connor Gillispie and Valente Bellozo in their Opening Day rotation.
Mar 20 2025Weathers will begin the season on the injured list due to a left forearm strain, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers had been having a fantastic spring, allowing just two runs (one earned) while striking out 11 batters through 11.1 frames. However, he came away from his last start with discomfort in his forearm and is expected to miss the first 4-to-6 weeks of the regular season. The Marlins now have an open spot in their rotation to fill before Opening Day, and manager Clayton McCullough has mentioned Janson Junk as a leading candidate to fill in while Weathers is out, per Azout.
Mar 18 2025Weathers gave up one unearned run on one hit and two walks over four innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old southpaw built up to 65 pitches (37 strikes) in another sharp outing. Weathers has a 0.79 ERA and 11:8 K:BB through 11.1 innings this spring, and he's locked into a rotation spot for the Marlins to begin the season.
Mar 7 2025Weathers walked three and struck out three over 2.1 scoreless, no-hit innings during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In his second outing of the spring, Weathers faced a potential Opening Day lineup for the Marlins' NL East rivals and overcame a very bumpy start to his day. Three free passes and a wild pitch loaded the bases before the left-hander could record an out, but none of the runners made it home and Weathers regained his focus before coming back out for the second inning. Inconsistent control was a hallmark of his minor-league career, and through 4.1 spring frames he's posted a 7:4 K:BB, but he also has yet to allow a hit or a run. If Weathers can stay healthy in 2025 -- a finger injury limited him to 16 starts last season -- he has the talent to break out after posting a 3.63 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 80:24 K:BB over 86.2 regular-season innings last season.
Jan 6 2025Weathers has lost 20 pounds this offseason, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers has a high insulin resistance but has been able to drop weight over the winter while following a Keto diet. The left-hander missed three months during the 2024 season due to a left index finger strain, but he pitched well when on the mound in collecting a 3.63 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 80:24 K:BB over 86.2 frames. Weathers ended the season healthy and will have some deep-league fantasy appeal in 2025, although wins could be difficult to come by on the Marlins.
Sep 30 2024Weathers (5-6) allowed a run on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning but escaped the threat unscathed. He didn't allow another runner into scoring position until Luis De Los Santos doubled and later scored in the seventh. At one point, Weathers retired 16 consecutive batters. He posted a 4.02 ERA over 15.2 innings after returning from a three-month stint on the injured list. Weathers finishes the 2024 season with a 3.63 ERA and an 80:24 K:BB through 86.2 frames.
Sep 24 2024Weathers (4-6) allowed a run on six hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Twins on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers did better in his second start back from a finger injury. The Marlins gave him a four-run lead in the second inning, and he only gave one run back on Royce Lewis' RBI single in the third. Weathers has generally pitched well this year, allowing two runs or fewer in seven of his 15 starts. He's at a 3.81 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 74:22 K:BB across 80.1 innings. Weathers is tentatively projected to make one more start at Toronto.
Sep 18 2024Weathers (3-6) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers made his first major-league start since June 7 following a stint on the injured list due to a finger injury. All of Los Angeles' runs against the left-hander came via the long ball, and the majority of the damage came in a five-run fourth inning that included a two-run blast by Tommy Edman and a three-run shot off the bat of Enrique Hernandez. The barrage of homers hasn't been typical for Weathers this season -- prior to Wednesday, he hadn't given up multiple home runs in any of his 13 outings and had surrendered a tolerable eight long balls over 71 frames overall.
Sep 16 2024Weathers (finger) is listed as the starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers worked five scoreless innings Friday in what marked his third rehab appearance, and after waiting a few days to see how he bounces back, the club has determined that he's ready to return from the 60-day IL. He'll face a tough challenge in his first big-league action since June 7, though he kept his team in the game against LA earlier in the year, surrendering three runs over six innings of work.
Sep 9 2024Weathers (finger) covered 2.2 innings in his second rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Jacksonville, striking out five while giving up four runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After making his first rehab start at Single-A Jupiter this past Tuesday, Weathers jumped up a few rungs on the minor-league ladder for his second outing. He tossed 64 pitches (39 strikes) in the appearance, but the Marlins have yet to decide on Weathers' next step. He'll presumably be evaluated over the next day or two before Miami decides whether he'll be ready to return from the 60-day injured list to make his next start with the Marlins, or if he'll remain on assignment in the minors for one more outing.
Sep 4 2024Weathers (finger) tossed three scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his first rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers threw 43 pitches in his first game action since he went down with a left index finger strain back in early June. The left-hander figures to require at least one more rehab start, likely at a higher affiliate, before being re-inserted into the Marlins' rotation. Weathers was showing signs of a breakout before getting injured, compiling a 3.55 ERA and 67:20 K:BB over 71 frames covering 13 starts.
Sep 3 2024Weathers (finger) is expected to throw three innings and around 50 pitches in a live batting practice session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers looks set to increase the volume of his throwing after he tossed two innings and 35 pitches in his first live BP session Friday. The southpaw has been on the shelf since June 8 with a left index finger strain but looks poised to return from the 60-day injured list at some point in the second half of September.
Aug 23 2024Weathers threw a 30-pitch bullpen Friday and is scheduled to throw another bullpen Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers has been on the shelf since June 8 due to a left index finger strain but has been making significant progress in August. Friday's bullpen appears to be Weathers' first mound work since sustaining the injury and it's encouraging to see him already built up to 30 pitches. Still, he shouldn't be expected back until September, whether that be in a starting role or out of the bullpen.
Aug 5 2024Weathers (finger) completed a flat-ground throwing session Monday and is hopeful to resume throwing bullpen sessions in two weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was placed on the injured list June 8 with a left index finger strain and has had a slow recovery thus far. Though his workout Monday is a step in the right direction, Weathers isn't on pace to face hitters until late August in a best-case scenario, and he'll require multiple rehab starts after that before a return from the 60-day IL becomes a possibility. The southpaw might not have enough time to get fully stretched out for a starting role during his rehab assignment, so if he comes off the IL in September, he might have to work out of the bullpen.
Jul 23 2024Weathers (finger) has been cleared to play catch, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first time he's done any throwing since going down with a left index finger strain back in early June. Given that he was shut down for more than six weeks, it's going to take a long time for Weathers to get ramped back up, but this was the first step. He's pitched well this season for the Marlins when healthy, posting a 3.55 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB through 71 innings.
Jul 7 2024The Marlins transferred Weathers (finger) to the 60-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander has been shut down from throwing due to an index finger strain since he landed on the shelf June 8, so he was already likely to be sidelined for 60-plus days. Weathers is expected to be re-evaluated soon, and he could be back with the Marlins sometime in August if cleared to resume throwing after that evaluation.
Jul 2 2024Weathers (finger) will be re-evaluated in 1-to-2 weeks in hopes of being cleared to begin a throwing program at that time, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers has already been shut down for nearly a month with a left index finger strain and still isn't ready to throw yet. Given how much time he's missed, it's going to take him a while to get sufficiently built back up before rejoining the Marlins' rotation. A return would appear to be several weeks away.
Jun 25 2024Weathers (finger) will be re-evaluated later this week and could begin a throwing program, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw is currently rehabbing at the Marlins' complex in Jupiter after being pulled from his June 7 start due to a strained index finger on his pitching hand. Weathers was having a breakout campaign before the injury, posting a 3.55 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB through 71 innings, and if he gets cleared to throw before the weekend, he could still rejoin the big-league rotation before the All-Star break.
Jun 17 2024Weathers (finger) is asymptomatic but has yet to resume a throwing program, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander has been out since early June with a left index finger strain. Weathers will be reevaluated early next week, so while he is feeling better, it appears he won't be cleared to throw for at least another week. He'll need to ramp things back up at that point, so a return before the end of June looks to be out of the question.
Jun 8 2024The Marlins placed Weathers on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left index finger strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers' finger caused him to be pulled from his start Friday midway through the third inning. He'll now miss several starts as he heads to the IL, though the team has not yet offered any sort of return timeline for the 24-year-old lefty. Roddery Munoz was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will start Saturday versus Cleveland, while Max Meyer is a candidate to fill the vacancy in the rotation on a more permanent basis.
Jun 7 2024Weathers was removed from Friday's game against the Guardians due to left index finger soreness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was only able to get through 2.1 innings before being pulled, during which he allowed two earned runs on four hits while striking out three batters and walking none. The Marlins haven't provided any information regarding the severity of his injury, but they'll likely keep an eye on his finger as he approaches his next scheduled start -- tentatively scheduled for Thursday against the Mets.
Jun 1 2024Weathers (3-5) took the loss to the Rangers on Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks with 11 strikeouts over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers opened with two scoreless frames before allowing two runs in each of the third and fourth innings. Weathers struck out the side in his sixth and final inning to finish with a season-high 11 strikeouts, but nine hits allowed also represented his highest total in 2024. Through 12 starts, Weathers has posted a 3.41 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 64:20 K:BB and tentatively lines up for a home matchup against the Guardians next weekend
May 27 2024Weathers improved to 3-4 on the season after tossing six scoreless innings in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks. He allowed just four hits and one walk while striking out seven. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers capped off his excellent run in May with another dominant outing Sunday. All four hits given up were singles and he never really faced much of a threat en route to his first win since April 16. Weathers has now posted at least seven strikeouts in consecutive outings, something he only did once in his first nine starts this year. He now has five straight quality starts and has given up just one run in his last 21 innings. The 24-year-old will carry a 3.16 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB (62.2 innings) into a home matchup with the Rangers this weekend.
May 20 2024Weathers did not factor into the decision Monday against Milwaukee, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers generated 14 whiffs en route to his eight strikeouts, reaching that mark for the first time since punching out 10 on April 16 against San Francisco. The Miami lefty has thrown four consecutive quality starts, posting a 2.67 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB over 27 innings during that time. Weathers is currently slated to make his next start against Arizona on the road this weekend.
May 14 2024Weathers did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing just three hits in eight scoreless innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was excellent Tuesday as he held the Tigers to one hit while facing the minimum through his first six innings. However, Miami couldn't break through on offense until the 10th, leaving Weathers with a no-decision in an eventual 1-0 Marlins victory. The 24-year-old southpaw has now delivered three straight quality starts, though he still hasn't earned a win since April 16. Overall, Weathers is 2-4 with a 3.81 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across nine starts (49.2 innings) this season. His next outing is currently lined up for early next week at home against the Brewers.
May 8 2024Weathers (2-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers submitted his second straight quality start; however, he was stuck with the loss as the Marlins could only muster up one run off Gavin Stone and the Dodgers' bullpen. He gave up a two-run home run in the sixth to Teoscar Hernandez, marking Weathers' fifth consecutive start allowing a long ball. The southpaw has been serviceable for Miami this season, having allowed more than three runs once in eight starts with a 1.32 WHIP.
May 3 2024Weathers (2-3) took the loss Friday against the Athletics, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite yielding three runs, Weathers completed six innings to collect his second quality start of the season. Most importantly, the Miami lefty was able to control the free passes Friday night, allowing no walks for the first time since a June 15, 2023 start against Cleveland as member of the Padres. Weathers is scheduled to make his next start against the Dodgers on the road.
Apr 28 2024Weathers did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 12-9 loss to the Nationals, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers also hit three batters, allowing a total of 11 batters to reach base during his four-inning performance. The Marlins jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, which Weathers maintained through three innings, but a five-run fourth followed by beginning the fifth with his third hit batsman led to his removal from the game as the Nationals overtook the Marlins for good during that frame. Weathers entered the contest with a 3.16 ERA but saw that number balloon to 4.55 by the end of his outing. He'll look to rebound in a favorable matchup, tentatively scheduled to take place next weekend when the Marlins travel to Oakland to take on the A's.
Apr 22 2024Weathers did not factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was looking steady against the dynamic Atlanta offense until yielding a two-run blast to Travis d'Arnaud in the fourth inning. The Miami lefty has been surprisingly effective in his first five starts this year. He's pitched to the tune of a 3.16 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB over 25.2 innings. Weathers is scheduled to make his next start against the Nationals at home.
Apr 17 2024Weathers (hand) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Cubs in Chicago, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers experienced some cramping in his left hand late in his most recent start in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Giants, but he had already tossed 90 pitches in the outing and wasn't likely to stay in the game much longer even if the issue hadn't cropped up. Before departing, Weathers notched his first quality start of the season, covering six innings and striking out 10 while allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk. Through four starts this season, Weathers now owns a 3-1 record, 2.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB in 20 innings, numbers that make him worth a look in shallower leagues where he still might be available on the waiver wire.
Apr 16 2024Weathers was removed from Tuesday's start against the Giants after the sixth inning due to cramping in his left hand, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was removed for precautionary reasons, exiting after he tossed six frames of two-run ball, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out a season-high 10 batters. There doesn't appear to be any long-term concern for the left-hander and considering he was at 90 pitches on the day, Weathers was unlikely to remain in the contest much longer. His status moving forward will receive an update following the game, but he seems likely to be ready to go for his next projected start Sunday on the road versus the Cubs.
Apr 10 2024Weathers (1-1) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing three hits and three walks with one strikeout over five scoreless innings against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers turned in his best start of 2024, holding the Yankees without an extra-base hit and not allowing a single baserunner past second base. While the 24-year-old lefty hasn't gone deeper than five frames this season, he's been a surprising source of stability on the Marlins' pitching staff, posting a 2.57 ERA with one home run allowed over 14 innings. However, with Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) nearing their returns, it's unclear if Weathers will take another turn in the Marlins' rotation in the immediate future.
Apr 4 2024Weathers didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Cardinals. He allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was solid for the most part Thursday, holding St. Louis to an Ivan Herrera solo homer in the second inning before the Cardinals tacked on a pair of unearned runs in the fifth. Weathers departed with a one-run lead, though the Marlins' bullpen couldn't make it hold up in an eventual 8-5 defeat. The 24-year-old southpaw is 0-1 while allowing four runs in nine innings across his first two starts this year. Weathers could carve out a more permanent role in Miami's rotation after it was announced that Eury Perez (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery. He's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Yankees in his next outing.
Mar 30 2024Weathers (0-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings to take the loss to the Pirates on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was outshined by youngster Jared Jones, who had 22 swinging strikes to Weathers' 13. Weathers threw 94 pitches in total and looked much more like the pitcher we've seen over the years than the one who had a 3.00 ERA and 21:4 K:BB over 18 innings this spring. The Marlins need him with a myriad of injuries to the starting rotation, but Weathers has to be considered a high-risk gamble every time out, at least until he shows something more at the major-league level. He lines up for a road start in St. Louis next week.
Mar 16 2024Weathers gave up four runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old southpaw is competing for an Opening Day rotation spot with the Marlins potentially down Eury Perez (finger), Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) to begin the season, so while Weathers' overall results Friday weren't all that impressive, the most important takeaway is that he built up to 79 pitches (50 strikes). Weathers has overall had a strong spring, posting a 21:4 K:BB through 18 innings, and the solo shot he gave up to Jose Fermin in the fourth inning Friday has been the only homer he's allowed.
Mar 1 2024Weathers allowed a hit and a walk over 2.2 scoreless innings during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old southpaw is on the fringes of the battle for a spot in the Opening Day rotation, but Weathers would probably need some attrition ahead of him in the pecking order to have a legitimate chance no matter how well he pitches this spring. A long-relief role seems more likely after he stumbled to a 6.55 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 43:29 K:BB through 57.2 innings last year split between the Padres and Marlins.
Oct 3 2023Weathers is on the Marlins' roster for their NL Wild Card Series matchup against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers finished the regular season on a high note Sunday at Pittsburgh, scattering two hits and three walks over six scoreless innings in what was his longest start since May. The 23-year-old left-hander figures to operate in long relief in the best-of-three series versus Philadelphia.
Oct 1 2023Weathers did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two hits and three walks over six scoreless innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called up for a spot start Sunday, Weathers delivered his first quality start since April 17, as he blanked the Pirates over six innings. However, the Marlins failed to provide any run support in an eventual 3-0 loss, leaving Weathers with a no-decision. The 23-year-old left-hander will finish the year 1-8 with a 6.55 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 43:29 K:BB across 57.2 innings between Miami and San Diego.
Aug 23 2023Weathers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was knocked around in a start Monday against his former team, the Padres, and now finds himself back in the minors. The left-hander has collected an ugly 7.32 ERA in 14 appearances this season for San Diego and Miami.
Aug 21 2023Weathers (1-8) took the loss against San Diego on Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers made his second start since the Padres traded him to Miami on Aug. 1, but neither outing has gone well. The southpaw has had trouble finding the strike zone in each outing, walking four batters against Texas on Aug. 5 and five versus San Diego on Monday. The walks were particularly harmful in the second inning, as Weathers loaded the bases on three straight one-out free passes before serving up a grand slam to Ha-Seong Kim. Weathers has surrendered 11 runs over seven frames while taking a pair of losses in two starts since joining Miami, making it hard to see him continuing in the rotation with the team still battling for a wild-card spot.
Aug 20 2023Weathers is listed as the probable starter for Monday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in early August after making his Marlins debut as a reliever, giving up six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five in 3.2 innings against the Rangers. However, it appears likely that he'll rejoin the major-league club Monday to serve as the starting pitcher against his former team.
Aug 6 2023The Marlins optioned Weathers to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Just one day after being called up from Triple-A for his Marlins debut, Weathers finds himself back in the minors. The demotion comes after he covered 3.2 innings in relief and gave up six earned runs on six hits and four walks while taking the loss Saturday against the Rangers. Weathers is expected to slot into the rotation at Jacksonville, and he could be first in line for a call-up if Miami requires a starter at any point over the final two months of the season.
Aug 5 2023Weathers was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old was acquired from the Padres on Tuesday, and the Marlins didn't waste much time before bringing him up to the big leagues. Weathers has a 6.25 ERA across 44.2 innings this year and could provide some length out of the bullpen Saturday in Texas behind starter George Soriano.
Aug 1 2023The Marlins acquired Weathers from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for Garrett Cooper and Sean Reynolds, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The seventh overall selection in the 2018 MLB Draft, Weathers never quite met the hype with San Diego. He'll get a change of scenery, though, and could prove to be a useful swingman for the Marlins down the stretch as some of their young pitchers are faced with workload limits. The 23-year-old lefty had registered a 6.25 ERA and 29:17 K:BB through 44.2 innings (10 starts, two relief appearances) this season with the Friars.
Jul 16 2023Weathers was optioned to Triple-A El Paso following the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was designated as the 27th man for Saturday's twin bill, so this was always the expectation. The lefty struggled against the Phillies in the nightcap, allowing four runs on six hits -- including two home runs -- over 4.2 innings to take the loss. Overall he has a 6.25 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 44.2 innings in the majors this season. Despite those struggles, he could get additional spot starts down stretch.
Jul 13 2023Weathers is expected to start Saturday against the Phillies, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Padres will play a doubleheader Saturday, and with Michael Wacha (shoulder) sidelined, the team will have to turn to rotation depth. Weathers has made 11 appearances and nine starts in the majors this season, though that's resulted in a subpar 6.08 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. He last pitched July 6 and worked six innings with Triple-A El Paso, so should be plenty stretched out.
Jun 16 2023The Padres optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After giving up six earned runs across 1.2 frames in his last appearance Thursday, Weathers will be relegated to the minors. He holds a 6.13 ERA during his Triple-A career, but he has thrown eight scoreless innings across two appearances in El Paso this season. Ray Kerr was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Jun 10 2023Weathers didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rockies, allowing one run on three hits over three innings. He struck out two without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Aside from a solo shot by Nolan Jones, Weathers pitched well but still got the hook after just 43 pitches (25 strikes) as the Padres elected to use the southpaw as a de facto opener rather than a traditional starter. Given his 4.93 ERA and 25:15 K:BB through 38.1 innings on the season, it's understandable San Diego might want to limit his exposure to hitters. The 23-year-old lines up for a home start next weekend against the Rays, but if Weathers won't be allowed to pitch at least five innings and qualify for a win, his fantasy value will be minimal regardless of opponent.
Jun 4 2023Weathers (1-4) allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk over 1.2 innings Sunday, striking out one and taking a loss against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers gave up one run in the first inning followed by four in the second, including a pair of solo homers. In four starts since returning to the big leagues, he's posted an ugly 7.79 ERA through 17.1 innings. His season ERA has ballooned up to 5.09 with a 23:15 K:BB. If Weathers gets another turn in the rotation, it's currently lined up to be in Colorado.
May 31 2023Weathers did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings against the Marlins. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It certainly could've been worse for Weathers, as it took him 96 pitches to make it through just four innings. The 23-year-old southpaw has struggled recently while stop-gapping the Padres' rotation, allowing 11 earned runs over his last three outings (15.2 innings). Weathers is 1-3 with a 4.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB through 33.2 innings this season. He could make at least one more start Sunday against the Cubs with Seth Lugo (calf) still on the IL.
May 29 2023Weathers is scheduled to start Tuesday's road game versus the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Seth Lugo (calf) still stuck on the 15-day injured list, Weathers will receive a second turn through the rotation as San Diego's No. 5 starter. In his return from Triple-A El Paso last week against the Nationals, Weathers covered six innings but took the loss after allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks. The Padres haven't provided an update regarding where exactly Lugo stands in his recovery, so Weathers could be in store for a two-start week. After Tuesday's outing, Weathers would tentatively line up for another turn Sunday versus the Cubs in San Diego.
May 20 2023Weathers will start Wednesday's game against Washington, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers will make his return to the rotation after being recalled from Triple-A by the Padres on Thursday. He'll get the ball Wednesday after Yu Darvish starts the series opener against the Nats on Tuesday.
May 18 2023The Padres recalled Weathers from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Seth Lugo (calf) landing on the injured list Thursday, Weathers will take Lugo's spot in the rotation. The 23-year-old Weathers holds a 3.42 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 23.2 frames in the majors this year and also has not allowed a run in eight minor-league innings.
May 15 2023San Diego optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers allowed four runs over 5.2 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday, and he'll head back to El Paso to continue work as a starter and stay on rotation. The Padres haven't announced a corresponding transaction yet, but it appears Drew Carlton could be joining the San Diego bullpen before Monday's game against the Royals.
May 14 2023Weathers (1-2) allowed four runs on three hits and four walks over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers was promoted for a spot start against a dangerous Dodgers squad. Through five frames, the only damage against him was Mookie Betts' two-run shot until Miguel Vargas knocked a two-run double in the sixth. Weathers' ERA jumped to 3.42 with a 14:9 K:BB through 23.2 big-league frames. It's unclear if the 23-year-old is expected to get another turn in the rotation.
May 12 2023Weathers will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers will get the start Sunday to give Michael Wacha an extra day of rest, with Wacha now starting Monday against the Royals. Weathers has pitched well in his 16 innings with the Padres this year with a 2.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 16 innings, but the Dodgers will provide a tough matchup for the 23-year-old southpaw.
Apr 4 2023Weathers did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against Arizona. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Weathers struggled in the second inning, allowing the first three hitters to reach, but he was able to mitigate the damage by inducing a double play. Outside of the two runs he surrendered in the second, Weathers was sharp and allowed just three baserunners over his other four innings. Weathers struggled mightily at Triple-A El Paso last year and made just one MLB start, but if he continues to pitch like this, he figures to remain in the Padres rotation until Joe Musgrove (toe) is cleared to return.
Mar 29 2023Weathers will start the Padres' fifth game of the season on Monday versus the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's not guaranteed anything beyond that, especially with Joe Musgrove (toe) hoping to return by mid-April. Weathers was dreadful in 2022 both at Triple-A El Paso and in his one start with the Padres, making him a risky fantasy streaming option. With Weathers taking the ball in the Padres' fifth game, that sets Yu Darvish up for the sixth contest.
Jun 16 2022The Padres optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: San Diego already has six other healthy starting pitchers on the active roster and could get another (Mike Clevinger) back from the COVID-19-related injured list next week, so Weathers' demotion was fully expected regardless of how he performed in Wednesday's 19-5 win over the Cubs. Even though the Padres won comfortably, Weathers didn't factor into the decision in his first start with the big club after surrendering four runs on six hits and four walks across 3.2 innings prior to his departure.
Jun 15 2022Weathers registered a no-decision during Wednesday's 19-5 win against the Cubs, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his 2022 debut, Weathers submitted a 1-2-3 first inning but surrendered seven baserunners -- including two walks with the bases loaded -- and all four runs in the second. San Diego rallied for a big win, but the 22-year-old didn't pitch deep enough to reap a potential win. The performance didn't do any favors toward Weather's roster spot, though he has a shot to stick with the team if Mike Clevinger's COVID-19 absence is prolonged.
Apr 3 2022The Padres optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even with Mike Clevinger (knee) set to begin the season on the injured list, Weathers' slim chances of breaking camp as a member of the Padres' rotation were dashed after the Friars acquired Sean Manaea from the Athletics on Sunday. With MacKenzie Gore turning heads in spring training, Weathers may not be the first prized young arm to get a call-up to the majors if San Diego has an opening at the rotation at some point early on in 2022. The Padres will likely want the 22-year-old lefty to first find some extended success at Triple-A after he faded badly down the stretch for the big club in 2021 to finish with a 5.32 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 10.5 K-BB% across 94.2 innings.
