Diagnosed with flexor issue Weaver has a mild flexor pronator strain, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. He will not throw for seven to 10 days. Impact Arizona manager Torey Lovullo framed the diagnosis as good news. "We feel like we dodged a potential bullet," Lovullo said. The right-hander was slated for a rotation spot but was bumped when he developed a blister late in spring training. In one appearance out of the bullpen, Weaver threw 23 pitches, allowing one run, in two-thirds of an inning. His fastball was down one mph from where it averaged as a starter in 2021.
