PHILADELPHIA – Ryan Weber looks so young that when he came up to introduce himself to Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez in the hotel lobby on Monday, Gonzalez, not knowing who he was, thought Weber was going to ask him to sign a ball.
Weber was the Braves’ starting pitcher Monday night against the Phillies, called up from Triple-A to make his major league debut. He took the rotation turn of rookie Matt Wisler, who had struggled for more than a month and was moved to a bullpen role Sunday in an effort to help him relax and restore his confidence.
