Tabbed for first career start Weathers will start Friday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact The 21-year-old has picked up a save and a win while allowing one run over six innings through his first three big-league appearances, and he's now set to make his first start in the majors Friday. Weathers threw 31 pitches over two innings Saturday and is unlikely to have the workload of a traditional starter, so it's difficult to see him being able to qualify for a victory. The young left-hander receives a tough draw versus the reigning World Series champions, and it will likely only be a spot start before a return to the bullpen with Dinelson Lamet (elbow) closing in on being activated from the injured list.

Earns first career win Weathers (1-0) allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out three across two innings of relief, earning the win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Weathers has notched himself a win and a save in his first two major league appearances. His only blemish Saturday came from a solo shot at the hands of Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the fifth inning. The 21-year-old is likely going to be a future starter, but is making a name for himself in the pen.

Notches first career save Weathers earned the save Saturday against Arizona, throwing three scoreless innings and allowing one hit while striking out three.

Impact The rookie looked superb in his regular-season big-league debut, throwing 25 of 38 pitches for strikes and allowing only one hit (a single). He entered the contest in the seventh inning with San Diego staked to a six-run lead and finished out the game to earn the save. Weathers figures to pitch in long relief to start the campaign, though he projects as a starter long term and could be among the first candidates to fill a rotation spot if the need arises.

Secures roster spot Manager Jayce Tingler said Monday that Weathers would open the season as a member of the Padres' bullpen, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Impact Though Weathers appears to have lost out to Adrian Morejon in the competition to replace Dinelson Lamet (elbow) as the club's fifth starter to begin the season, the 21-year-old lefty will have a spot waiting for him in the bullpen with seven Padres relievers set to open the campaign on the injured list. Weathers has yet to make his regular-season MLB debut, though the Padres thought enough of him to include him on their NLDS roster last fall. San Diego still plans to develop Weathers as a starter, but given the club's ample rotation depth, he's expected to see most of his opportunities as a reliever in 2021.

On roster bubble Weathers remains a candidate to open the season on the big-league roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Weathers struggled in a Cactus League start against the Mariners on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings. His numbers overall this spring, which include a 7.11 ERA and 1.66 WHIP, aren't exactly impressive, but he has struck out 15 batters in 12.2 innings. San Diego's bullpen has been hit by multiple injuries of late, so Weathers could fill a long-relief role if he makes the cut. The left-hander could also feasibly used as a starter if the Padres decide to go with a six-man rotation.

Could break camp with Padres Weathers has a legitimate chance to open the season on the big-league roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Weathers has held his own thus far in Cactus League play, allowing a pair of earned runs and striking out three over four innings. The Padres may have a need for a a fifth starter to open the campaign if Dinelson Lamet (elbow) needs more time to ramp up, and Weathers has been mentioned as a candidate for the role (along with fellow prospect MacKenzie Gore and Adrian Morejon). Even if he isn't tabbed as a temporary starter, Weathers could still open the campaign on the big-league roster as a multiple-inning reliever.

Impresses in sim work Weathers threw two innings in a simulated game Thursday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Weathers continued his work to stretch out as a starter this spring while pitching against Eric Hosmer, Manny Machado and Tommy Pham. He reportedly generated several swings and misses without allowing any hard contact. Weathers isn't likely to start the season in the Padres' rotation, though it can reasonably be expected that he will make a significant impact with the club during the regular season.

Viewed as starter Weathers is projected to be stretched into a starter at the beginning of spring camp, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Weathers made his big-league debut in the playoffs last season, coming out of the bullpen to toss 1.1 scoreless innings against the Dodgers in the NLDS. However, the southpaw has worked exclusively as a starter in the minors, compiling a 3.78 ERA and 108:22 K:BB over 114.1 frames. The 21-year-old is likely to open the campaign in the minors, but he could be a candidate for a big-league roster spot if a place in the rotation opens at some point in the season.

Impresses in debut Weathers came in to replace Pierce Johnson in the third inning, recording 1.1 scoreless innings of work while walking two in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLDS.

Impact Weathers made his MLB debut Tuesday and threw 16 of his 30 pitches for strikes. The 20-year-old showed why he was the seventh pick in the 2018 draft and some of his command issues could be attributed to nerves seeing as it was the rookie's first appearance on the big stage.
