  "account": "New York Yankees starter Ryan Weathers exited Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning due to discomfort in his left forearm. The team stated that Weathers would undergo additional medical examination to determine the extent of the issue. With runners on first and second base, Weathers delivered a pitch out of the strike zone and subsequently experienced pain. Upon noticing his discomfort, Weathers approached the mound, signaled for catcher Austin Wells, and requested assistance from manager Aaron Boone and a trainer. Blue Jays' pitcher Yerry De Los Santos replaced Weathers in the lineup. Weathers, acquired from the Miami Marlins in January, has compiled a 3.60 ERA across 25 starts this season. In the fourth inning, he surrendered two runs and eight hits over 3 1/3 innings before leaving the game. The New York Yankees have experienced a total of 15 player injuries this season, including injuries to starting pitchers Max Fried and Carlos Rodón.",
