Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Ryan Weathers, 27-year-old Yankees left-hander acquired from Miami Marlins, recently dealt with a viral illness that caused him to miss a start against Texas Rangers. He lost 9 pounds in 48 hours, ran a 102-degree fever, and required an IV to recover. Despite the illness, Weathers has been performing well as the Yankees' fifth starter with a 3.00-3.03 ERA through 7-8 starts and 38+ innings. He made a strong return on 9 days rest against Baltimore, pitching a no-hitter into the 7th inning before being pulled at 101 pitches. The Yankees rotation is second in MLB with a 2.98 ERA. Weathers is expected to continue in his rotation spot, though his future role may be uncertain with the return of Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole.
