Overview

  • Ryan Weathers has been diagnosed with a mild left forearm strain and will not throw for at least seven days, sidelining him for four to six weeks.
  • Weathers had an impressive spring, allowing just one earned run over 11 1/3 innings across four starts before reporting discomfort earlier this week.
  • Janson Junk exited Thursday's Grapefruit League game with a back spasm but reported improvement afterward, while Edward Cabrera remains out due to a blister.
  • The Marlins are considering internal candidates such as Connor Gillispie, Valente Bellozo, and Adam Mazur to fill gaps in the starting rotation.
  • Sandy Alcantara is on track for his Opening Day start, fine-tuning his preparation with controlled sessions in Minor League games.
