Scouting Report: Ryan Weber

Summary

Ryan Weathers, 27-year-old Yankees left-hander, was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday against the Texas Rangers due to a viral illness. After his start against Baltimore on Saturday, Weathers experienced severe symptoms including vomiting, a 102-degree fever, and lost 9 pounds over two days. He required an IV to recover. Weathers is expected to return to the rotation Monday against the Orioles after 8 days of rest. Despite the illness, he pitched well in his previous outing (3 runs, 1 earned over 5 innings) and has maintained a 3.03 ERA across 7 starts this season since being acquired from Miami. In his return start on Monday, Weathers pitched 6+ innings with a no-hitter through 6 innings before being pulled at 101 pitches, though the Yankees lost 3-2.
