Ryan Weathers Scratched on Thursday Due to Illness
New York Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start in Thursday's series finale against the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium due to an illness, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The team will look to slot Weather back into the starting rotation on Monday in Baltimore against the division-rival Orioles. Veteran right-hander Paul Blackburn will make the spot start for the Yankees in Thursday's series finale against Texas. The 26-year-old Weathers will be a bit riskier as a fantasy starter in his next outing to kick off next week against an Orioles team that ranks 13th in MLB with a .710 OPS. Weathers, a former first-round pick by the San Diego Padres in 2018, has been sharp so far in 2026 in his first year with the Yankees. He's gone 2-2 with a 3.03 ERA (3.60 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and 10 walks in 38 2/3 innings of work across his seven starts. Weathers has allowed more than three earned runs in just one of his outings.
