Scouting Report: Jeffrey Wehler
Chicago Cubs | 2B
Overall
Summary
Ryan Weathers, 27-year-old Yankees left-hander, was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday against the Texas Rangers due to a viral illness. Weathers suffered a severe illness earlier in the week, running a 102-degree fever and losing 9 pounds over two days. He pitched through illness in his previous start against Baltimore (3 runs, 1 earned over 5 innings) before becoming bedridden. After receiving an IV and recovering, Weathers was pushed back to Monday's start against Baltimore on 8+ days rest. He subsequently pitched on 9 days rest and came within one hit of a no-hitter before being pulled at 101 pitches, ultimately taking a loss as the bullpen imploded. Weathers has a 3.03 ERA in 38 2/3 innings across 7 starts this season after being acquired from Miami.
Strengths
- Strong ERA of 3.03 through 7 starts
- Pitched effectively through illness (3 ER in 5 IP vs Baltimore)
