New York Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers exited Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning with forearm discomfort, adding another injury concern to the team's pitching staff. Weathers experienced the issue after throwing a pitch and was immediately attended to by a trainer and manager Aaron Boone. He was subsequently removed from the game.
The team announced that Weathers will undergo imaging later on Saturday to determine the extent of the injury. He left the game trailing the Blue Jays 2-0 and was enjoying what has been the best season of his career to date. The left-handed pitcher entered the outing with a 3.56 earned run average over 24 starts, showing improvement as the season progressed.
The Yankees are already without Max Fried, who threw a bullpen session on Saturday. The remaining pitchers in the team's rotation include Gerrit Cole, Cam Schlittler, Carlos Rodón, and Will Warren.
This injury news follows closely on the heels of another setback for the Yankees, with Giancarlo Stanton reportedly suffering his third calf strain of the season on the same day. The team did not provide an immediate update on Stanton's condition.
