US EditionMarlins Pitcher Eury Pérez Excited to Be Back in the Big Leagues Despite Rocky Return From Injury
- The Miami Marlins have transferred left-handed pitcher Ryan Weathers to the 60-day injured list because of a lat strain, while right-handed pitcher Eury Pérez was activated last week and made his first start Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- Weathers' placement follows previous injuries including a mid-March forearm strain and a June finger strain that limited his 2023 season after being traded to Miami.

- Weathers logged a 3.28 ERA with a 22.5% strikeout rate over five starts this year before his recent injury, and Pérez has added a sinker while maintaining fastball velocity near 98 mph, suggesting potential for improvement.
- With a 24-39 record and second-worst National League standing, the Marlins will continue without Weathers in the rotation, relying on Pérez and others as they navigate ongoing rebuilding efforts.
