Ryan Weathers Will Open Season On Injured List
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers (forearm) will open the season on the injured list with a left forearm strain. Weathers has been one of the most dominant pitchers during spring training. He has logged 11 1/3 innings of work with a stellar 0.79 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. During this stint, he has tallied 11 punchouts with eight walks and just three hits. Last summer, Weather logged 86 2/3 innings in the majors and held a 3.63 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP. He tallied strikeouts at a modest 21.8 percent rate and showed strong control as he allowed walks at a 6.5 percent rate. With Weathers set to begin the season sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Connor Gillispie to have a clear path to a starting role. Gillispie has also enjoyed a strong spring as well, holding a 0.75 ERA and a near-perfect 0.42 WHIP across 12 frames. Gillispie is worth targeting in deeper formats as an early-season streaming option.
