RYAN WEBER NEWS

Hoping to avoid surgery Weber (forearm) has opted for a platelet-rich injection and rehab in an attempt to avoid Tommy John surgery, per MLB.com.

Impact Weber has been on the shelf since feeling discomfort near his right forearm in an outing against the Dodgers on June 2. Season-ending Tommy John surgery remains a possibility, but the righty reliever is taking a conservative treatment approach with the hope that he can return to the big-league team before the end of the campaign. Weber is on the 60-day IL and can't be activated until early August, at the soonest, even if he responds well to the treatment.

Transferred to 60-day IL New York transferred Weber (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact The move removes Weber from the 40-man roster, and it clears a spot on the roster for Billy McKinney on the 40-man and 26-man active roster. Weber is dealing with a right forearm strain, and he now won't be eligible to return to the Yankees' pitching staff until the start of August.

Lands on IL The Yankees placed Weber on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right forearm strain.

Impact Weber has been one of the most reliable assets in the Yankees' bullpen since joining the team May 11, but his strained forearm will shut him down for at least 15 days. Nick Ramirez will come up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Weber's place in the bullpen.

Notches save Saturday Weber earned a 10th-inning save against Cincinnati on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect frame.

Impact The Yankees scored three runs in the top of the 10th, then turned to Weber to close things out in the bottom of the frame. He needed just 10 pitches to do so, throwing seven strikes and retiring the side in order. The save was Weber's first this season and second in his career. Though New York's closer situation remains unsettled, Weber isn't expected to see many additional chances in that role.

He's allowed only one earned run over 7.2 innings for New York this season.

Yankees pitcher Severino back after going on COVID-19 list

Pitcher Luis Severino has been cleared to rejoin the New York Yankees, hours after being scratched from his start and put on the COVID-19 injured list

JUNE 16, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Moves up to majors The Yankees selected Weber's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Impact He'll be joining the 40-man and 26-man rosters as a replacement for Luis Severino, who was scratched ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Rays and placed on the COVID-19-related injured list. Clarke Schmidt is getting the spot start in Severino's stead, but because he hasn't worked more than 3.1 innings in any of his appearances in the majors or minors this season, he may not be able to work deep into the outing. With that in mind, Weber -- who covered 4.2 innings in his most recent outing for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on June 9 -- could end up serving as a primary pitcher behind Schmidt.
