Ryan Weathers Entering Padres Rotation
2 years agoThe San Diego Padres recalled left-hander Ryan Weathers from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday to take the rotation spot of right-hander Seth Lugo (calf), who was placed on the injured list. Weathers, 23, has already pitched in six games (four starts) for San Diego this year, allowing nine runs on 18 hits (two homers) while walking nine and striking out 14 in 23 2/3 innings of work. In eight minor-league innings, he has yet to allow a run, so he's been pitching pretty well in just his third big-league campaign. Weathers has a 5.09 ERA (5.23 FIP) and only a 17.3 percent strikeout rate in 37 appearances for the Friars since 2021, but he's still worth a speculative waiver-wire addition in deeper leagues now that he has at least a short-term rotation spot.
