Ryan Weathers Could Resume Throwing Soon
6 months agoMiami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger), who is rehabbing in Jupiter, Fla., will be evaluated for throwing in a few days. Weathers was pulled after giving up a two-run home run to Cleveland Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio on the 40th pitch of his June 7 start and landed on the injured list with a left index-finger strain. If the 24-year-old southpaw can ramp up his throwing program quickly, there's a chance he could rejoin Miami's starting rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July. In his first full season with the Fish this year, Weathers has looked pretty good, going 3-5 with a 3.55 ERA (3.91 FIP) and 1.14 WHIP with a 67:20 K:BB in 71 innings over his 13 starts. His 22.5% strikeout rate is right in line with his career-high 23% mark in 2023. When healthy, he has clear streaming appeal in mixed fantasy leagues.
