Luke Weaver News
New York Yankees starting pitcher Luke Weaver (neck) won't make his scheduled start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. It appears the right-hander is dealing with neck stiffness, so the team will take a cautious approach here. The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Yankees this past offseason. Weaver has struggled to establish himself as a legitimate starter at the big league level. He looks to make the team as a back-end starter, so hopefully he can get back on the mound soon.
Free-agent right-hander Luke Weaver and the New York Yankees agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal on Thursday, pending a physical, according to a source familiar with the deal. The contract includes a club option for 2025 and can max out at $8.25 million. Weaver wasn't very great in 2023 while posting a 6.40 ERA (5.61 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP with 40 walks and 109 strikeouts in 123 2/3 innings over 29 outings (25 starts) for the Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners and Yankees. The 30-year-old was most impressive in New York, though, allowing five earned runs while striking out 16 in 13 1/3 innings over his three starts in the Bronx. Weaver is going to be an option to round out the Yankees' starting rotation in 2024, but he's probably going to be a volatile fantasy arm in AL-only leagues.
The New York Yankees claimed right-hander Luke Weaver off waivers from the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday and moved left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The Mariners designated Weaver for assignment last weekend after he allowed nine earned runs on 16 hits (two homers) while walking three and striking out eight in 13 1/3 innings over five outings (one start) for them. The 30-year-old has posted a rough 6.77 ERA (5.75 FIP), 1.61 WHIP, 37 walks and 93 strikeouts in 110 1/3 innings over 26 appearances (22 starts) for the M's and Cincinnati Reds in 2023, so he's basically been well off the fantasy radar all year.
