What's Happening?
The Miami Marlins have activated pitcher Ryan Weathers from the 60-day injured list, allowing him to return to the team's rotation. Weathers, a left-handed pitcher, has been sidelined for much of the season due to a forearm strain and a lat strain. He has only made five starts in the majors this season. In preparation for his return, Weathers completed two rehab outings, throwing 68 pitches in his second appearance. His workload will be limited as he starts against the Washington Nationals.
Why It's Important?
Ryan Weathers' return is significant for the Marlins as they look to bolster their pitching rotation. His absence due to injuries has been a setback for the team, which relies on a strong pitching lineup to compete effectively. Weathers' performance in the upcoming games will be crucial in determining the Marlins' ability to improve their standings. His return also highlights the challenges teams face with player injuries and the importance of effective rehabilitation processes.
What's Next?
Weathers is expected to start against the Nationals, with his pitch count being closely monitored. The Marlins will assess his performance and health to decide on his future role in the rotation. If he performs well, he could become a regular starter, contributing significantly to the team's efforts in the remaining games of the season.
