Yankees Starting Pitcher Ryan Weathers Leaves Game Against Blue Jays with Left Forearm Discomfort
No official diagnosis was announced as the Yankees waited on a club update after the left-hander left in the fourth inning.
- On Saturday, New York Yankees starting pitcher Ryan Weathers exited the game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning due to left forearm discomfort and will undergo further imaging.
- Weathers, 26, departed after throwing his 72nd pitch, a sweeper to Myles Straw; the left-hander has a history of arm issues, including forearm and lat strains with the Miami Marlins last year.
- Entering Saturday, Weathers had posted a 0.85 ERA over his previous five starts, providing stability to a rotation thin on healthy arms during a tight American League East race.
- New York has dealt with multiple injuries this season to left-handers Max Fried and Carlos Rodon; Fried remains on the 15-day injured list with an elbow bone bruise, while Rodon returned from elbow inflammation last week.
- If Weathers is sidelined, manager Aaron Boone's short-term alternatives include relying on Will Warren or calling up Triple-A arms such as Elmer Rodriguez or Brendan Beck to fill the vacancy.
