4 years agoSan Diego Padres pitcher Ryan Weathers tossed three innings of relief Monday against the Colorado Rockies, allowing one earned run on three hits. Weathers earned five consecutive starts prior to this appearance as the Friars moved to a temporary six-man rotation, but reverted to swingman as starter Dinelson Lamet completed just four frames. The 21-year-old southpaw has remained impressive through 47 ⅓ innings (eight starts), possessing a 2.47 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 19 percent strikeout rate despite subpar statcast outcomes. It's probable Weathers will operate in a hybrid role for the foreseeable future, diminishing his fantasy predictability. Outside of multiyear formats, Weathers holds marginal value only in deeper and NL-only leagues.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
