GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Luke Weaver, pitching in a minor league game against Cleveland on Monday, signaled to a coach and a trainer he was done for the day after throwing warmup pitches before the fourth inning.
It was a precautionary exit with a sore forearm, Weaver said, and it’s something he probably would’ve tried to push through in the past. Weaver was examined by the medical staff, which showed “nothing major or anything like that.”
Still, he stopped after three innings in a scheduled four-inning outing. Reds Manager David Bell said Weaver may be pushed back from his next scheduled start.
