Marlins Face Rotation Challenges as Ryan Weathers Sidelined with Forearm Strain

The left-hander will miss four to six weeks, joining other injured pitchers as the team evaluates internal options for rotation depth.

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.
