New York Yankees Announce Ryan Weathers Update
Ahead of Saturday’s game, the Yankees announced the latest update on Ryan Weathers.
He has been out since August 22 with an injury.

Weathers is in the middle of his first season with the Yankees.
He has gone 5-8 with a 3.60 ERA in 25 starts this year.
The 26-year-old was traded to New York (via the Miami Marlins).

Weathers was the 7th pick in the 2018 MLB Draft.
He has also spent time with the San Diego Padres (in addition to the Yankees and Marlins) over six seasons at the MLB level.
