Ryan Weathers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger) will be evaluated to throw in one to two weeks. Weathers isn't going to return anytime soon and has already been shut down for almost a month with a left index-finger strain. Even if he's cleared to resume a throwing program in one to two weeks, there's no guarantee that he'll be ready to rejoin Miami's starting rotation in the month of July. The 24-year-old southpaw is also probably going to require at least a few minor-league rehab starts before being reinstated from the injured list. When he's nearing a return, the former seventh overall pick of the San Diego Padres in 2018 will be worth a waiver-wire pickup for pitching depth in deep-mixed leagues. In his first full season in Miami, Weathers had gone 3-5 with a 3.55 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 67:20 K:BB in 13 starts (71 innings) before injuring his finger.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger), who is rehabbing in Jupiter, Fla., will be evaluated for throwing in a few days. Weathers was pulled after giving up a two-run home run to Cleveland Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio on the 40th pitch of his June 7 start and landed on the injured list with a left index-finger strain. If the 24-year-old southpaw can ramp up his throwing program quickly, there's a chance he could rejoin Miami's starting rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July. In his first full season with the Fish this year, Weathers has looked pretty good, going 3-5 with a 3.55 ERA (3.91 FIP) and 1.14 WHIP with a 67:20 K:BB in 71 innings over his 13 starts. His 22.5% strikeout rate is right in line with his career-high 23% mark in 2023. When healthy, he has clear streaming appeal in mixed fantasy leagues.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers posted a dominant performance during Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-hander racked up seven strikeouts over six scoreless frames in the victory. He allowed only four hits and walked one batter during this stellar performance. He'll take a 3.16 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 53/20 K/BB into next week's matchup against the Texas Rangers. This is a tough matchup for Weathers, but he has shown the ability to hold his own this season.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Ryan Weathers dazzled in Tuesday's extra-inning victory over the Detroit Tigers, hurling eight scoreless innings on three hits and no walks with four strikeouts for a tough-luck no-decision. Weathers was flawless through five innings on Tuesday before Wenceel Perez singled to open the sixth frame and break up the perfecto bid, but it was certainly a dominant outing nonetheless. The 24-year-old former San Diego Padre has now logged three consecutive quality starts, putting together a respectable 3.81 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 38:16 K:BB with two wins over 49 2/3 innings (nine starts) from Miami's injury-ravaged rotation on the season as a whole. His next start is projected to come on Monday in a tough assignment at home against the Milwaukee Brewers, who rank as a top-five offense in most metrics at the quarter mark of the campaign, which makes Weathers a dangerous fantasy bet for that one.

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers had a tough outing on Sunday in the 12-9 loss to the visiting Washington Nationals, although he wasn't saddled with the loss. In just four innings of work, Weathers surrendered five hits (one home run) and six earned runs while walking three and striking out three to raise his season ERA to 4.55. In addition to the three free passes, the 24-year-old southpaw hit three batters but was given a no-decision thanks to the Fish going up in this contest 7-0. It was by far Weathers' worst outing of the season to this point and he's allowed nine earned runs now in his last 9 2/3 innings. The good news is he has the perfect bounce-back opportunity up next when he's scheduled to take on the Oakland Athletics next weekend.
