JUPITER, Fla. — Miami Marlins pitcher Ryan Weathers will begin the season on the injured list with a left forearm strain, another setback for the team’s starting rotation.
Weathers reported discomfort after his most recent outing in spring training, and won’t throw for at least a week or two. He is expected to miss four to six weeks, the Miami Herald and MLB.com reported.
New manager Clayton McCullough said Weathers has a mild flexor strain but his ulnar collateral ligament is intact, according to a report.
Weathers went 5-6 with a 3.63 ERA in 16 starts for Miami last season.
