Padres open 3-game series with the Braves

The San Diego Padres begin a three-game series at home against the Atlanta Braves on Monday

Collects first win Weathers (1-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Impact New York opened the scoring in the fourth inning on a Mark Canha sacrifice fly, but San Diego struck back with two runs in the top of the fifth to get Weathers his first win of the year. The 23-year-old southpaw has yet to last longer than five innings in a start, exiting after 89 pitches (55 strikes) Tuesday, but with Joe Musgrove (toe/shoulder) not close to returning, Weathers' spot in the rotation seems secure. He'll likely make the mound for his next outing early next week at home against Atlanta.

Slated to start Tuesday Weathers will make his next start Tuesday on the road against the Mets, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Weathers pitched well in his season debut April 3, allowing two runs over five innings in a no-decision against Arizona. The left-hander was initially thought to be in line to make his next start Monday, but he'll instead flip spots with Yu Darvish, who will pitch the opener of the series against the Mets while Weathers takes the mound Tuesday. After this upcoming outing, Weathers will likely head to the bullpen or to Triple-A with Joe Musgrove (toe) in line to rejoin San Diego's rotation.

In line for another start Weather is likely to make one more spot start for the Padres before Joe Musgrove (toe) returns, MLB.com reports.

Impact Weather pitched well in his season debut versus the Diamondbacks and is lined up for another turn on Monday against the Mets. After that, the left-hander will slide back to a long relief role or perhaps join the Triple-A El Paso rotation.

Five solid innings in season debut Weathers did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against Arizona. He struck out two.

Impact Weathers struggled in the second inning, allowing the first three hitters to reach, but he was able to mitigate the damage with a double play. Outside of the two runs he surrendered in the second, Weathers was sharp and allowed just three baserunners over his other four innings. Weathers struggled mightily at Triple-A El Paso last year and made just one MLB start, but if he continues to pitch like this, he figures to remain in the Padres rotation until Joe Musgrove (toe) is cleared to return.

Diamondbacks visit the Padres to start 2-game series

The San Diego Padres begin a two-game series at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday

APRIL 3, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tapped to start fifth game Weathers will start the Padres' fifth game of the season on Monday versus the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Impact He's not guaranteed anything beyond that, especially with Joe Musgrove (toe) hoping to return by mid-April. Weathers was dreadful in 2022 both at Triple-A El Paso and in his one start with the Padres, making him a risky fantasy streaming option.

MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to start fifth game of year Weathers is likely to start the fifth game of the season for the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Acee notes how well Weathers has pitched this spring, and it's worth pointing out that the left-hander made changes to his delivery before the season that appear to have paid off. The southpaw will likely be on the bump for Monday's start against the Diamondbacks with a chance to earn more starts for San Diego if he pitches well in the early part of the season.

Ryan Weathers working to be reliable option for Padres again After strong start to major league career, young left-hander went through struggles and mechanical adjustments

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Changes made to delivery Weathers has revamped his delivery for the upcoming season, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

Impact Weathers now has added an overhead delivery to his mechanics, and Scanlan reports that the left-hander has done "lots of work" in the offseason. The left-hander showed flashes of brilliance in the first-half of 2021, but he has struggled since, making just one appearance for the Padres in 2022 and registering a 6.73 ERA over 123 innings for Triple-A El Paso. There's more risk than reward in Weathers' profile at this stage, but keep in mind he's only 23 years old, and there's still the potential for long-term success.

Returns to minor leagues The Padres optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Impact San Diego already has six other healthy starting pitchers on the active roster and could get another (Mike Clevinger) back from the COVID-19-related injured list next week, so Weathers' demotion was fully expected regardless of how he performed in Wednesday's 19-5 win over the Cubs. Even though the Padres won comfortably, Weathers didn't factor into the decision in his first start with the big club after surrendering four runs on six hits and four walks across 3.2 innings prior to his departure.

Hit hard by Cubs Weathers registered a no-decision during Wednesday's 19-5 win against the Cubs, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings.

Impact Making his 2022 debut, Weathers submitted a 1-2-3 first inning but surrendered seven baserunners -- including two walks with the bases loaded -- and all four runs in the second. San Diego rallied for a big win, but the 22-year-old didn't pitch deep enough to reap a potential win. The performance didn't do any favors toward Weather's roster spot, though he has a shot to stick with the team if Mike Clevinger's COVID-19 absence is prolonged.

Recalled prior to Wednesday's start Weathers was recalled from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Wednesday's start against the Cubs.

Impact The 22-year-old has struggled in the minors early in the year, posting a 7.29 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 54.1 innings over 12 starts. However, he'll make a spot start at Wrigley Field on Wednesday with Mike Clevinger (illness) on the COVID-19 injured list. Weathers made 30 appearances (18 starts) for the Padres last year and logged a 5.32 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 94.2 innings.

Padres pregame: Ryan Weathers returns to face Cubs Left-hander started strong, faded for Padres in 2021; has a bloated ERA in Triple-A this season

JUNE 15, 2022 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Tabbed to start Wednesday The Padres will call up Weathers from Triple-A El Paso to have him start Wednesday's game in Chicago against the Cubs, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Even with Mike Clevinger (illness) on the COVID-19-related injured list, the Padres still have six starters on hand, but Weathers will nonetheless be added to the mix amid a particularly heavy stretch of games for San Diego. As a rookie a season ago, Weathers impressed over his first handful of outings with the big club, but he faltered badly in the second half and was eventually moved to the bullpen. The 22-year-old lefty hasn't shown much improvement from a statistical standpoint while spending the entire 2022 campaign to date at Triple-A (7.29 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 37:24 K:BB in 54.1 innings), so he's unlikely to have a long leash if he runs into trouble early Wednesday.
