Likely to return as reliever
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Weathers (forearm) will be shut down from throwing for 2-to-4 weeks but has a "great chance" to pitch again before the end of the season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
As expected, Weathers will need to miss more than the minimum 15 days after he sustained a left forearm flexor strain during his start in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays before landing on the injured list a day later. Boone noted that he anticipates Weathers returning this season "in some capacity," which points to the southpaw coming back as a reliever once he eventually completes his throwing progression. Weathers had enjoyed a strong run of form in the second half before hitting the shelf, going 2-1 with a 2.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB in 39.2 innings over his seven starts since the All-Star break.

Goes on IL with forearm strain
The Yankees placed Weathers on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left forearm flexor strain.
Analyse
While the Yankees haven't laid out a recovery timeline or treatment plan for Weathers, the southpaw said that initial tests showed that his UCL is intact, and he's optimistic that he'll be able to pitch again this season, per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic. Weathers dealt with a similar injury last season with the Marlins and missed around a month, so it's reasonable to expect him to miss more than the minimum 15 days this time around. His move to IL should extend Will Warren's time in the rotation, which had previously been expected to come to an end once Max Fried (elbow) returned from the IL.

Exits with trainer
Weathers was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays with left forearm discomfort, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Weathers gave up two earned runs on eight hits in 3.1 innings during Saturday's contest before tweaking his forearm while throwing a pitch in the fourth. The severity of the southpaw's injury is unknown, but the Yankees should provide more information in the near future.
