4 years agoSan Diego Padres starter Ryan Weathers absorbed a loss Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs after allowing four earned runs in five innings. The rookie southpaw permitted seven hits and was victimized by a pair of two run homers while walking one and striking out just two. Through 12 appearances (seven starts), Weathers possesses a 2.06 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 19 percent strikeout rate in 39 ⅓ frames. Despite a respectable three-pitch mix, Weathers may lack the stuff of a long-term starter with a 5.30 xERA and .358 xwOBA. He'll have an opportunity to rematch the Cubs next week at home and should be avoided as a low-upside SP5.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
