Weathers Lands on 15-Day IL With Forearm Flexor Strain
The Yankees lefty hurt himself on his 72nd pitch and won't throw for 2-4 weeks, though the team believes he could return before season's end.
Ryan Weathers left his start against the Blue Jays after 71 pitches and was placed on the 15-day IL with a left forearm flexor strain. Manager Aaron Boone indicated Weathers won't throw for 2-4 weeks but has a strong chance of returning late in the season, likely as a reliever. The injury interrupts a strong second-half stretch in which Weathers posted a 2.27 ERA over seven starts since July 20. Weathers himself believes the injury is less severe than a similar forearm issue that sidelined him for a month with Miami last year.
