Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Weathers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Weathers was knocked around in a start Monday against his former team, the Padres, and now finds himself back in the minors. The left-hander has collected an ugly 7.32 ERA in 14 appearances this season for San Diego and Miami.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Shelled by former club
Rotowire
Weathers (1-8) took the loss against San Diego on Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings.
Weathers made his second start since the Padres traded him to Miami on Aug. 1, but neither outing has gone well. The southpaw has had trouble finding the strike zone in each outing, walking four batters against Texas on Aug. 5 and five versus San Diego on Monday. The walks were particularly harmful in the second inning, as Weathers loaded the bases on three straight one-out free passes before serving up a grand slam to Ha-Seong Kim. Weathers has surrendered 11 runs over seven frames while taking a pair of losses in two starts since joining Miami, making it hard to see him continuing in the rotation with the team still battling for a wild-card spot.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Recalled by Miami
Rotowire
Weathers was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
The Marlins listed Weathers as the starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Padres, and he will indeed toe the rubber as expected. Between the majors and minors Weathers has tossed at least 95 pitches in five straight outings, so his workload should not concern those considering including him in fantasy lineups.
Weathers is listed as the Marlins' probable starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Weathers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in early August after making his Marlins debut as a reliever, giving up six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five in 3.2 innings against the Rangers. However, he looks likely to rejoin the major-league club Monday to serve as the starting pitcher against his former team. Whether he makes any starts beyond Monday will likely depend on how he fares against the Friars.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Moves back to minors
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Weathers to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Just one day after being called up from Triple-A for his Marlins debut, Weathers finds himself back in the minors. The demotion comes after he covered 3.2 innings in relief and gave up six earned runs on six hits and four walks while taking the loss Saturday against the Rangers. Weathers is expected to slot into the rotation at Jacksonville, and he could be first in line for a call-up if Miami requires a starter at any point over the final two months of the season.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Tagged with loss in Miami debut
Rotowire
Weathers (1-7) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits and four walks over 3.2 innings of relief as the Marlins were downed 9-8 by the Rangers. He struck out five.
Entering the game in the fifth inning, the southpaw was immediately greeted by homers off the bats of Corey Seager and Josh Jung, turning a 5-3 Miami lead into a deficit the team never overcame. Adding insult to injury, that also stuck Weathers with a blown save in his Marlins debut. He did at least soak up some innings, tossing 95 pitches (but only 52 strikes), while starter George Soriano lasted only 59 pitches before exiting. Weathers' performance didn't make much of a case for him to move into the rotation, but it's not yet clear how the Marlins will handle their fifth starter spot from here.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Up with big-league club
Rotowire
Weathers was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The 23-year-old was acquired from the Padres on Tuesday, and the Marlins didn't waste much time before bringing him up to the big leagues. Weathers has a 6.25 ERA across 44.2 innings this year and could provide some length out of the bullpen Saturday in Texas behind starter George Soriano.
The Marlins acquired Weathers from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for Garrett Cooper and Sean Reynolds, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
The seventh overall selection in the 2018 MLB Draft, Weathers never quite met the hype with San Diego. He'll get a change of scenery, though, and could prove to be a useful swingman for the Marlins down the stretch as some of their young pitchers are faced with workload limits. The 23-year-old lefty had registered a 6.25 ERA and 29:17 K:BB through 44.2 innings (10 starts, two relief appearances) this season with the Friars.
Weathers (1-6) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Phillies, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
The Padres grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Weathers couldn't make it hold up for long, serving up a solo shot to Bryce Harper in the fourth and a three-run blast to Kyle Schwarber in the fifth. The 23-year-old lefty is expected to head back to Triple-A El Paso as his big-league struggles continue -- he's been tagged for at least four runs in five of his last seven starts for San Diego dating back to May 14, posting an 8.78 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB in 26.2 innings over that stretch.

Padres' Ryan Weathers: Returned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Weathers was optioned to Triple-A El Paso following the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Weathers was designated as the 27th man for Saturday's twin bill, so this was always the expectation. The lefty struggled against the Phillies in the nightcap, allowing four runs on six hits -- including two home runs -- over 4.2 innings to take the loss. Overall he has a 6.25 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 44.2 innings in the majors this season. Despite those struggles, he could get additional spot starts down stretch.

Padres' Ryan Weathers: Lining up for Saturday start
Rotowire
Weathers is expected to be called up from Triple-A El Paso to start one game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Phillies, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
The Padres are likely to designate Weathers as their 27th man for the twin bill, so he's expected to return to El Paso immediately following the spot start. The lefty has made 11 appearances and nine starts in the majors this season, turning in a subpar 6.08 ERA and 1.60 WHIP. He last pitched July 6 with El Paso and worked six innings that day, so he should be plenty stretched out.

Padres' Ryan Weathers: Optioned to El Paso
Rotowire
The Padres optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
After giving up six earned runs across 1.2 frames in his last appearance Thursday, Weathers will be relegated to the minors. He holds a 6.13 ERA during his Triple-A career, but he has thrown eight scoreless innings across two appearances in El Paso this season. Ray Kerr was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Padres' Ryan Weathers: Roughed up by Guardians
Rotowire
Weathers (1-5) took the loss against Cleveland on Thursday, allowing six runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out two batters over 1.2 innings.
Weathers endured an ugly first inning during which he allowed five runs on five hits, including David Fry's first MLB homer. The lefty hurler was allowed to return for the second frame but was lifted after Jose Ramirez plated another run with a two-out double. This was the second time in his past three starts that Weathers has managed to get only five outs, and he's posted a horrid 9.93 ERA and 2.27 WHIP over five starts as the rotation fill-in for Seth Lugo (calf). Lugo progressed to throwing a simulated game Thursday, so Weathers' time in the rotation -- and on the big-league roster -- may be running out.

Padres' Ryan Weathers: Another short outing
Rotowire
Weathers didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rockies, allowing one run on three hits over three innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.
Aside from a solo shot by Nolan Jones, Weathers pitched well but still got the hook after just 43 pitches (25 strikes) as the Padres elected to use the southpaw as a de facto opener rather than a traditional starter. Given his 4.93 ERA and 25:15 K:BB through 38.1 innings on the season, it's understandable San Diego might want to limit his exposure to hitters. The 23-year-old lines up for a home start next weekend against the Rays, but if Weathers won't be allowed to pitch at least five innings and qualify for a win, his fantasy value will be minimal regardless of opponent.
