CHICAGO (AP) — Miami's Ryan Weathers was set to make his first start of the season, against Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, after the Marlins reinstated the left-hander from the injured list.
Weathers suffered a left flexor muscle strain in March during spring training, then rehabbed in the minors. In his final outing, on May 8 with Jacksonville, the 25-year-old tossed five scoreless innings.
Weathers went 5-6 with a 3.63 ERA in 16 starts for Miami last season. He had been projected as the club’s No. 2 starter this year behind 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara, who has returned to the mound after missing 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
