Marlins Place Ryan Weathers On 60-Day IL With Lat Strain

By Darragh McDonald | June 9, 2025 at 6:10pm CDT

The Marlins announced that left-hander Ryan Weathers has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to a lat strain. Righty Eury Pérez has been reinstated from the 60-day IL, as was reported last week. Isaac Azout of Fish on First reported on Weathers prior to the official announcement.

It’s an unfortunate development for Weathers, who has had a stop-and-start career with his flashes of promise usually proving to be brief. A seventh overall pick of the Padres, he was once a top 100 prospect but struggled in his first tastes of the majors. He had a 5.73 earned run average through his first 143 big league innings when the Marlins traded for him in 2023.

In Miami, he showed some hints of a breakthrough last year. He logged 86 2/3 innings over 16 starts with a 3.63 ERA. His 21.8% strikeout rate was around average, while his 6.5% walk rate and 46.6% ground ball rate were both strong marks. Unfortunately, injuries capped the overall workload. A strain in his left index finger sent him to the IL in June and it took him over three months to return, with his final three starts occurring in September.

This year, injuries have interfered again. In mid-March, he suffered a forearm strain that sent him to the IL to start the year. He was reinstated from the IL and put up some decent numbers, with a 3.28 ERA, 22.5% strikeout rate, 7.8% walk rate and 40.6% ground ball rate in five starts this year. Unfortunately, he’s now on the shelf again. The specifics of the injury are still lacking but the fact that he’s been quickly placed on the 60-day IL after just starting on Saturday doesn’t bode well.

The move will seemingly remove any chance of Weathers being a summer trade candidate, as he will be on the shelf past the deadline. Players on the IL can be traded but it wouldn’t make much sense for the Marlins to flip him when his value is low. He can be retained via arbitration for three seasons after this one. The silver lining of the injury absences, for the Marlins, is that he won’t be able to increase his salary very much.

The Fish will have other opportunities to trade him in the future, ideally after he has shown a strong run of health to build value. Or perhaps Weathers can be a part of a competitive club in Miami, depending on how long this ongoing rebuild takes to bear fruit.

For now, the Marlins will proceed without Weathers in the rotation. Pérez jumps into a group that includes Sandy Alcantara, Cal Quantrill and Edward Cabrera, with guys like Valente Bellozo also in the mix. Max Meyer is on the IL himself but his hip impingement seems minor and he could be back shortly.

With the club sporting a 24-39 record that has them ahead of only the Rockies in the National League, it’s expected that they will be broadly open to trades. In recent years, players like Luis Arráez, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Luzardo have been sent out of town even with years of club control remaining. As mentioned, Weathers is far less likely to be moved now, though he will ideally be able to jump back into the rotation late in the year and build some more innings going into 2026.

    Reason #100 why you have to sign free agents, guys get hurt and when they do lack of depth is exposed partly because you neglect to improve your roster in the offseason by not spending a lick

      Injuries are a part of the game. Most teams cant afford to sign free agents who only have a role if someone gets hurt. The Dodgders do this but nobody else does.

        I think theit point is more to the effect that they didn’t sign any free agents at all. I don’t think it’s merely about AAA depth options.

      100%. But that’s assuming owners prioritize winning. About one-third of baseball owners could care less. They’ve made up the term “small market” as an excuse. Every owner could afford a $200M+ payroll.

        I feel ya but we may as well go outside and scream at the gods over a thunderstorm cause it’s just the way it is. There is an approximate investment/profit ratio in any endeavor. If I have to pee but the bases are loaded and I have no DVR I’ve got to weigh whether it’s worth getting up to miss the action. It’s life. I certainly appreciate any owners that really care tho.

        What if all owners “prioritized winning”? Would teams like the Dodgers and Yankees just spend even more?

        League needs a salary cap and floor both. Then it would be fair competition instead of what it is today.

          Those leagues have rules that allow teams to spend more.

          The point is simple. Of all teams have the same or very similar payrolls then competition is fair.

          The Packers play in the smallest market among all major professional sports and hardly ever go over the Cap but they are almost always in the playoffs and occasionally win the Super Bowl.

          Joel, At least look the stuff up. The NHL has had a smaller percentage of different teams in the playoffs since they instituted a cap and floor than MLB even though MORE teams go than in MLB. Do you ever get tired of demonstrating your ignorance of reality?

          “Since 2000, Major League Baseball (MLB) has the highest percentage of different teams in the playoffs among the major North American sports leagues. The World Series, MLB’s championship, has seen a higher number of different teams win in the past few decades.”

          Only if you’re defining “fair” as *only* MLB payroll. In baseball, that’s an absolutely asinine way to define that term.

          Unlike the NFL and NBA, most players don’t join a MLB organization as anywhere near a “finished product.” MLB teams are often trying to project how an 18 yr. old kid (or younger international players) is going to project as a MLB player. The best run MLB organizations heavily invest in scouting and player development. Absolutely *none* of that $$ would be impacted by a salary cap or floor. The Rays are an excellent example of a team that succeeds despite its smallmarket payroll because the organization scouts, drafts and develops players. The Pirates are a similar small market organization, and according to multiple reports, owner Bob Nutting simply “pockets” the revenue sharing money he receives instead of investing it back into the team. Which is one of the reasons the Pirates have had *several* 1st round picks who ended up complete busts since Nutting bought the team.

          MLB could mandate every team spend $200 million or whatever figure on MLB payroll, and many of the bad teams (Rockies, Angels, Pirates) would *still* be bad, just with a larger payroll. A couple of those organizations (Angels and Rockies) have shown they’re not even capable of making good free agent investments.

        Even If the Pirates, Marlins and A’s all had $200M payrolls that doesn’t there are enough Major League quality pitchers for every team to have 8 or 9. The Dodgers, NYY, NYM, Etc etc will always have $1 more than the other teams if there is a player they want

          Those great pitchers would be more spread around than just the Dodgers, Yankees, etc. a salary floor would be way more meaningful than a salary cap IMO. At least for baseball.

        The term “small market” is absolutely *not* “invented.” It refers to the size of a team’s media market.

        Unlike the NFL and NBA, MLB owners only share 48% of all local revenue, and there’s a *wide* disparity in how much big market teams make on their local TV deal because there’s a huge disparity in the size of local TV markets. The Dodgers, Red Sox, Mets and Yankees make $90-100 million a year on their local TV deals alone. Teams in much smaller markets simply can’t earn that much because nobody’s willing to pay it. For example, even though the team’s been good, a couple years ago someone in the Baltimore front office admitted that without the Washington, DC market, there’s no way they could sell their broadcast rights for even the $60 million a year the O’s earn from MASN. MLB is *never* going to get to a point where broadcast revenue is shared equally, because it’s not a owners vs. MLBPA fight. It’s an owners vs. owners fight, and the big market owners have no reason to change the status quo. As RSNs die, this is disparity is going to get worse. MLB’s lack of an independent commissioner able to do things “in the best interest of baseball” is ultimately going to harm the game…if it hasn’t already.

          The Dodgers ($8 billion/25 years) and Yankees (exact amount unreported/co-owners of Yes Network that takes in $1.1 billion annually) each make more than $300 million from their local TV broadcast rights.

          52% of $300 million is more than the total local TV revenue of 26 other MLB teams before those teams have to put 48% of it into revenue sharing.

          The Dodgers and Yankees get back 1/30th of what they and every other team put into that fund as well or about $41.67 million annually.

          Good info! I wasn’t aware of the total Dodgers TV contract number or that both teams earn far more than I thought. Do the Dodgers own at least part of that network like the Yankees own part of YES, the O’s own MASN and the Red Sox own NESN? If they don’t, I have to wonder about even the future of that deal, unless there’s a direct to consumer streaming option that’ll keep it viable when cable dies. Comcast basically admitted that’s going to happen sooner rather than later by announcing a few days ago it’s spinning off cable and several individual TV networks into their own company in order to make sure the revenue problems of cable don’t harm the financials of their Internet business.

          The overall point I was trying to get at was that IMO baseball’s “core” financial problem is that unlike the NFL, owners don’t appear to think of their franchise as simply one part of a larger, more important, whole (MLB). Really, that’s irrespective of media market size too. For example, it’s not good for baseball for an owner like Nutting to “pocket” the revenue sharing money and not fully invest in developing a good organization. Also, nobody’s ever going to convince me an owner like Reinsdorf (or a former owner like Angelos) would ever help anybody but himself.

          Without all but a handful of RSNs and the number of cable/satellite subscribers we used to have, I’m really not sure what MLB’s going to look like in 10-20 years. If MLB wants to have 30-32 teams, IMO the most financially viable way forward would actually be to eliminate all individual team local broadcast deals in favor of national streaming/broadcast packages negotiated/owned by MLB. Each club would earn an equal share of the money.

          But that’s never going to happen. In addition to simple human greed on *everybody’s* part, think at least partially it’s because baseball’s older than the modern NFL/NBA/NHL. Individual MLB teams don’t view themselves as only one part of a larger whole because 100 years ago every team *had* to rely on local revenue, because that’s all there was. The concept of a national broadcast deal didn’t exist.
