- Wesneski’s recent struggles included diminished velocity and a four-run outing over four innings in his first start since April 25.
- The 27-year-old pitcher, acquired in the Kyle Tucker trade with the Cubs, has a 1-3 record and a 4.50 ERA in six starts this season.
- Logan VanWey has been recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to fill Wesneski’s roster spot, with additional pitching adjustments likely expected.
- This marks Wesneski’s second bout with elbow issues, having missed two months last season with a similar injury.
