Yankees starting pitcher Ryan Weathers leaves Saturday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the top of the fourth inning due to left forearm discomfort. Multiple outlets report he is taken out with trainers and later undergoes further evaluation, including imaging.
According to game details cited by outlets, Weathers experiences pain after throwing a pitch to Myles Straw when New York has runners on first and second. The Athletic adds that the discomfort follows a sequence that includes one of his slower pitches of the season, framing the decision as an injury-related exit. Yahoo Sports characterizes it as forearm discomfort and notes the team’s plan for additional tests. Across reports, the club’s next steps are consistent, while speculation about how his performance and velocity relate to the injury is not emphasized equally by all outlets.
