Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Ryan Weiss, 29-year-old right-hander signed by the Astros as a free agent from the KBO, has struggled significantly in his first MLB season. After posting a strong 16-5 record with a 2.87 ERA in South Korea, Weiss has been demoted to Triple-A Sugar Land following a disastrous outing against the Dodgers on May 4, 2026, where he allowed 7 runs (6 earned) over 4.1 innings. Through 9 appearances and 26 innings, Weiss carries a 7.62 ERA, 2.12 WHIP, and 0-3 record. He has allowed runs in 7 of 9 appearances and has struggled with command issues, posting a 9.45 ERA over his last 6 appearances after an initial strong start (1 run in first 3 outings). Manager Joe Espada acknowledged Weiss's excellent stuff but emphasized the need for better command and strike-throwing consistency.
