New York – In a mid‑week matchup at Yankee Stadium, left‑handed pitcher Ryan Weathers was removed from the game in the fourth inning after experiencing left forearm discomfort. The decision came with one out and two runners on base, when Weathers threw a sweeper to Myles Straw and then called for catcher Austin Wells.
In‑game assessment and replacement
Yankees manager Aaron Boone and the team trainer promptly checked on Weathers. After a brief evaluation, the pitcher was taken out of the contest. Relief arm Yerry De los Santos entered the game to finish the inning and continue the Yankees’ bullpen work.
Weathers’ performance up to the exit
Before his early departure, the 26‑year‑old allowed two runs on eight hits over 3 1/3 innings, striking out three batters and issuing no walks. The outing left his season line at five wins, seven losses with a 3.60 earned run average across 25 starts.
Medical follow‑up
The organization announced that Weathers will undergo imaging to determine the cause of the forearm issue. No timeline for his return was provided, but the Yankees indicated they will keep fans updated as more information becomes available.
Career background
Weathers was acquired by New York in January after a trade with the Miami Marlins. Over six major‑league seasons—including stints with the San Diego Padres (2021‑23), Miami Marlins (2023‑25) and now the Yankees—he has compiled a 17‑30 record with a 4.50 ERA in 95 games, 80 of them as a starter.
Team outlook
The Yankees will look to their bullpen and remaining starters to navigate the remainder of the series against Toronto. The Blue Jays, who are visiting from Canada, will aim to capitalize on the early change in New York’s pitching staff.
Fans are encouraged to follow official team communications for updates on Weathers’ health status and any roster moves that may follow.
