The trade is now official. Weathers has shown flashes of big-time potential, recording a strong 3.74 ERA — 4.26 FIP — 1.21 WHIP and 117/36 K/BB ratio across 125 innings for the Marlins over the last two seasons. The 26-year-old southpaw has been limited to just 24 starts during that span due to injuries, including forearm and lat issues that cost him nearly five months this past season. He’s an interesting gamble for the Yankees — and a speculative late-round dice roll in fantasy leagues — as a high-upside rotation arm with Gerrit Cole coming off Tommy John surgery and Carlos Rodón working his way back from an offseason elbow procedure. He projects as a high-velocity impact reliever if they decide to move him to the bullpen at some point in the future. Meanwhile, his departure from Miami removes another obstacle from the path of top pitching prospects Thomas White and Robby Snelling.

Weathers, 25, was facing his former club, and he performed well. He did issue three walks, but he compensated with six strikeouts while allowing just three hits. It’s a very small sample of 15 innings and three starts, but Weathers has been excellent with a 1.15 ERA and 14/4 K/BB ratio in that time. He’ll get the Giants next weekend.

The Marlins went on to lose 14-1 tonight, but that was hardly Weathers’ fault. He struck out four and walked none while throwing 80 pitches in his second start back from the IL. The only damage came on Kyle Tucker’s homer in the first. He’ll likely make his next start in San Diego on Monday.

He allowed two hits, walked none and struck out three in the breezy 57-pitch outing. It’s possible he’ll get one more rehab start first, but he’s very close to returning from the forearm strain that’s had him on the shelf since the spring.
