Weathers to Begin Throwing Program, Targeting Bullpen Return
The Yankees lefty starter has been on the 15-day IL since Aug 23 with a flexor strain and is now on track to return in a relief role.
Ryan Weathers went on the 15-day IL on August 23 with a left forearm flexor strain. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed he will begin a throwing program this weekend, at the short end of the initial 2-4 week shutdown estimate. With the Yankees rotation full, Weathers is expected to return in a bullpen role for the final weeks of the regular season and potentially the playoffs. He has posted a 3.60 ERA in a career-high 25 starts in 2026.
