  "account": "New York Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers exited Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning due to discomfort in his left forearm. The team announced that Weathers would receive additional medical tests. With runners on first and second base, Weathers delivered a pitch inside the strike zone to Myles Straw and subsequently experienced pain. Following the pitch, Weathers circled the mound, signaled for catcher Austin Wells, and manager Aaron Boone and a trainer arrived to assess his condition. Yerry De Los Santos then replaced Weathers in the game. Acquired from the Marlins in January, Weathers has a 3.60 earned run average (ERA) in 25 starts this season. In his previous outing, he surrendered two runs and eight hits over 3 1/3 innings before leaving the game. Throughout the season, 15 Yankees players have been placed on the injured list, including starting pitchers Max Fried and Carlos Rodón. Fried has missed 58 games due to bone bruises in his left elbow, while Rodón returned from an elbow injury on Tuesday.",
