2024 Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Weaver has seen action with five teams across the past two seasons, working mostly as a reliever in 2022 and a starter in 2023. The right-hander struggled in both campaigns with a combined 6.44 ERA in 55 appearances (26 starts), though he was still able to land a one-year, $2 million contract with the Yankees for 2024. Weaver is unlikely to make the Opening Day rotation if everyone remains healthy, but he'll likely be called upon for some starts at some point. He could have some streaming value if he excels as a swingman, but his inconsistent track record doesn't offer much fantasy upside. Read Past Outlooks
Slated for live BP
Weaver (neck) will throw live batting practice Wednesday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
ANALYSIS
Weaver had to be scratched from a scheduled Grapefruit League start Tuesday due to neck stiffness, but he's expected to be fine. The right-hander might be needed for some starts early on in the season for the Yankees due to Gerrit Cole's (elbow) status being uncertain.

Weaver transitioned to a relief role for much of 2022, but his performance continued to underwhelm. Over 35.2 innings between Arizona and Kansas City, the right-hander posted a 6.56 ERA and a career-worst 1.82 WHIP. Even the pitching desperate Royals couldn't tolerate that, waiving Weaver in October. The Mariners claimed him but declined to tender him a contract for 2023, so he is a free agent this offseason. He's three years removed from a viable season in any role, and it's very possible he has to settle for a minor-league deal or a contract overseas to continue his career. On the bright side, his 2.56 FIP from last season suggests he was cosmically unlucky, though it also came in a relatively small sample compared to previous years.
