Yankees Place Ryan Weathers on Paternity List
The New York Yankees announced on Wednesday that they have placed left-hander Ryan Weathers on the paternity list and recalled right-handed reliever Jake Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Weathers will be away from the team for as many as three days, and his next start is scheduled to come on Saturday against the Astros in Houston. In his last start on Sunday versus the Kansas City Royals, Weathers looked excellent, tossing 7 1/3 scoreless frames. The 26-year-old former seventh overall pick by the San Diego Padres in 2018 has been healthy so far in 2026 and has looked good in his first season in pinstripes, recording a 3.18 ERA (3.28 FIP) and 1.23 WHIP with 36 strikeouts and only eight walks in 28 1/3 innings across his five starts. If Weathers continues to pitch like this, he will need to be picked up off the waiver wire in more leagues. He's currently rostered in just under 50% of Yahoo leagues.
