Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Tosses seven scoreless frames
Rotowire
Weathers did not factor into Thursday's decision against the White Sox, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out four across seven scoreless innings.
Weathers generated only eight whiffs while throwing 106 pitches, but he also logged 11 groundouts while keeping the Yankees off the board. It was his first quality start since June 24 and the third time this season that he shut out his opponent while tossing at least seven frames. Weathers will take a 3.99 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 115 innings into his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week at home against the Cardinals.

Rotowire
Weathers (4-7) earned the win Saturday against Philadelphia, allowing one run on six hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.
Weathers held an imposing Phillies lineup in check Saturday, keeping the ball in the park while inducing six groundouts on the evening. The left-hander is still searching for some consistency -- he's given up at least four runs in half of his last 12 outings while yielding two runs or fewer in the other half. Weathers will take a 4.25 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 122:30 K:BB over 108 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the White Sox.

Rotowire
Weathers did not factor into Monday's decision against the Pirates, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings.
The Yankees handed Weathers an early 4-0 lead, but the veteran southpaw gave that lead to the Pirates after yielding five runs across the second and third frames. It was the sixth time this season that he gave up at least five earned runs, though he also generated 20 whiffs and 17 first-pitch strikes on 99 pitches. Weathers will take a 4.40 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 102.1 innings into his next start, which is slated for this weekend on the road against the Phillies.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Start moved to Monday
Rotowire
Weathers will not start the second half of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers and will now start Monday's game against the Pirates, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Weathers was originally in line to pitch Saturday's game before it was rained out and will now open the series against Pittsburgh on Monday instead. Manager Aaron Boone said that Elmer Rodriguez could "potentially" start the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader. On the season, Weathers possesses a 4.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 110:27 K:BB through 97.2 innings in his first season with the Yankees.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Saturday's start rained out
Rotowire
Weathers and the Yankees won't face the Dodgers on Saturday since the game was postponed due to rain.
Saturday's contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sunday, and Weathers will presumably start one of the two games. The 26-year-old southpaw currently holds a 4.15 ERA through his first 18 starts with the Pinstripes, but he's given up two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Settles for no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Weathers didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-3 win over the Nationals, allowing one run on six hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.
The southpaw put together another stingy outing, tossing 61 of 91 pitches for strikes and getting tagged for two runs or fewer for the fourth time in his last five starts, but the Yankees' bullpen cost Weathers his fourth win of the year. Over that five-start stretch, he's produced a 3.47 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB through 23.1 innings, and with both Max Fried (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) on the shelf until late July or later, Weathers' spot in the rotation should be secure for at least a couple weeks coming out of the All-Star break.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Can't escape fifth inning
Rotowire
Weathers (3-7) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in four-plus innings. He struck out six.
Weathers appeared to find a bit of a stride after Minnesota plated an opening-inning run, tossing two scoreless innings thereafter, but he gave up three more runs across the fourth and fifth frames. The 26-year-old southpaw has been erratic lately, surrendering at least four runs in four of his past seven outings. Weathers will be searching for some consistency during his next scheduled appearance in Washington, and he currently holds a 4.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 104:27 K:BB over 92.1 innings.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Fans eight in no-decison
Rotowire
Weathers did not factor into the decision Thursday against the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over 6.1 innings.
Weathers came out firing, striking out the side in the first inning before running into his lone mistake of the night when Colson Montgomery launched the first pitch of the second inning for a solo homer. The left-hander was excellent from that point forward, limiting Chicago to just two additional hits while recording his fifth outing of at least eight strikeouts. The performance was a much-needed rebound effort after a rough stretch in which he had allowed five or more runs in four of his previous five starts. Weathers now has a 4.13 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 89:22 K:BB across 80.2 innings.

The left-hander never got settled in Friday, surrendering three runs in the opening frame, another in the second and two more in the fifth. It's the third consecutive defeat for Weathers, who has an ugly 8.47 ERA with seven homers allowed during that stretch. The 26-year-old has been a boom-or-bust performer this year with at least five runs allowed in five separate starts while giving up one or no earned runs five times.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Gives up five runs in loss
Rotowire
Weathers (2-4) took the loss against Boston on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.
It was the fourth time in 12 starts this season that Weathers has given up five runs, three of which have come over his last four outings. He had some command issues Friday with just 11 first-pitch strikes to 26 batters, and it was the fourth time this season that he gave up at least two home runs in a game. Weathers' recent form has him sitting at a 3.86 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 70 innings this season, and his 79 strikeouts are tied for sixth-most in the American League. He's lined up to face the Guardians on the road next week.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Strikes out 10 in loss
Rotowire
Weathers (2-3) allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out 10 over 6.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Athletics.
Weathers reached double-digit strikeouts for the second time this year. He's also worked into the seventh inning or later in five of his 11 starts, though this time it came with three home runs given up while he matched his season high for runs allowed. The southpaw has still looked pretty good in his first year with the Yankees, posting a 3.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 75:19 K:BB through 64 innings. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Red Sox.

The two sides will make up Saturday's contest during a doubleheader Sept. 22, and Weathers is likely to make his next start in Sunday's series finale. He'll be aiming to bounce back after giving up five earned runs to the Blue Jays over 5.1 innings during his last appearance.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Yields five runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Weathers didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Blue Jays, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks with seven strikeouts across 5.1 innings.
Weathers didn't have his best stuff against Toronto, as he was burned by the long ball in this one. The left-hander served up a three-run shot to Ernie Clement in the fourth inning before George Springer took him deep for a solo shot in the fifth. While the results weren't great, Weathers has continued to flourish from a K:BB perspective. This was his third walk-less start of the season, and he's now struck out a career-high 4.7 batters for every issued walk. He's in the 90th percentile in strikeout rate, and through nine starts, Weathers owns a 3.58 ERA and 61:13 K:BB across 50.2 innings. He's lined up to take his next turn through the rotation against the Rays over the weekend.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Evens record with victory
Rotowire
Weathers (2-2) earned the win over Baltimore on Saturday, allowing three runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five-plus innings.
Weathers looked like he was destined for a quality start when he entered the sixth frame with a 6-1 lead, but he gave up back-to-back singles to begin that inning and was pulled after a Ben Rice error loaded the bases for Baltimore. Two of the runners he put on base ended up scoring, but neither of those runs were earned. Weathers notched 10 whiffs on his 90 pitches and gave up only one extra-base hit -- a Pete Alonso solo homer. The lefty hurler has given up two or fewer earned runs in five of his seven starts this season, leading to a tidy 3.03 ERA along with a 1.19 WHIP and 45:10 K:BB over 38.2 frames. Weathers' next start lines up to be a home matchup against Texas.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Allows two runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Weathers didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Astros after allowing two runs on six hits across 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
Making his first start since returning from paternity leave earlier this week, Weathers picked things up where he left off after firing 7.1 scoreless innings in his previous outing. The left-hander fell just two outs away from recording his third quality start of the season, but he's still pitching well with two or fewer earned runs allowed in three of his last four starts. Now with a 3.21 ERA across 33.2 innings this year, Weathers should make his next start at home against the Orioles.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Returns from paternity leave
Rotowire
The Yankees reinstated Weathers from the paternity list Saturday.
After spending three days away from the team to welcome a new addition to his family, Weathers will return to start Saturday's game against the Astros. The 26-year-old southpaw threw 7.1 shutout innings against the Royals during his most recent start, though he'll face a more difficult task Saturday in keeping quiet an Astros lineup that currently boasts the fourth-best OPS in MLB (.784). Angel Chivilli (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Heads to paternity list
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Weathers on the paternity list Wednesday.
Weathers will be away from the Yankees for the next 1-to-3 days while he welcomes a new addition to his family. After tossing 7.1 scoreless innings in a win over the Royals his last time out Sunday, Weathers wasn't scheduled to make his next turn until Saturday in Houston. As such, the Yankees shouldn't have to adjust their rotation to account for Weathers' move to the paternity list.

Royals' Kyle Isbel: Idle Sunday

Isbel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
The Royals will stock up some extra right-handed bats to counter Yankees southpaw Ryan Weathers, so Isbel will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone. Isbel had started each of the last four games but went 1-for-10 at the dish, bringing his season average down to .265.

India is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
On the bench for three of the Royals' previous four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers, India's playing time had already been tailing off, but the veteran infielder will now remain out Sunday despite a southpaw (Ryan Weathers) taking the hill for the Yankees. The Royals will go with the left-handed-hitting Michael Massey at second base instead of India, who has mustered a lowly .167/.310/.313 slash line across 58 plate appearances thus far during his second season with Kansas City.

Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Surrenders four HRs, strikes out 10
Rotowire
Weathers (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts across five innings.
Weathers was hurt by the long ball Tuesday, as he surrendered back-to-back-to-back home runs to Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler in the top of the first inning, putting the Yankees in a quick 3-0 hole. Weathers later gave up another solo shot to Oswald Peraza in the third frame. The first three homers came on fastballs before Peraza deposited a changeup into the left-field seats. Aside from the home runs, Weathers clearly had the swing-and-miss stuff working once again, as he's racked up at least seven strikeouts in three of his first four starts to begin the season. Weathers had yet to allow a home run prior to Tuesday. He now owns a 4.29 ERA and 28:7 K:BB across 21 innings. He's pitched much better than that ERA would indicate and has shown he belongs in the Yankees' rotation. Weathers is scheduled to make his next start Sunday at home against the Royals.
