Blue Jays survive late-game scare to beat Yankees in New York
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hits in return from concussion IL
New York Yankees' starting pitcher Ryan Weathers was removed from his Saturday game against the Toronto Blue Jays due to forearm discomfort, according to the team. The veteran southpaw will undergo imaging to assess the severity of the injury. Weathers pitched for 3 1/3 innings, tossing 72 pitches and allowing two earned runs on eight hits.
He did not walk a batter and struck out three. The 26-year-old is making his debut season with the Yankees, going 5-7 with a 3.60 ERA in 25 starts. He has struck out 143 batters in 137 1/3 innings. Weathers joins a list of Yankees who have recently been injured, including Giancarlo Stanton, who suffered a new left calf strain, and Max Fried, who is dealing with a recurring elbow bone bruise.
Second baseman Ryan McMahon is on the 10-day injured list due to a thumb injury, but is expected to recover quickly. However, Cody Bellinger, who was previously sidelined with a hamstring injury, will be activated from the injured list on Sunday. Clarke Schmidt, who is working to return from his own injury, is expected to return as a reliever rather than a starter.
The results of Weathers' imaging will determine the extent of his injury and the amount of time he will need to miss.
