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

Registers 13th hold
Weaver picked up a hold with a perfect inning of work against the Orioles on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Weaver needed just six pitches to retire the side in the eighth. After spending the majority of his career as a starter, the veteran righty has thrived as a high-leverage reliever for New York this season. Weaver leads the Yankees with 13 holds while recording a 2.52 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 57:13 K:BB over 35 appearances covering 53.2 innings.

An early look at the state of pitching in 2024 reveals more wins going to relievers and a hint that scoring could be down this year compared to 2023.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Option for spot start?
Weaver could be a candidate to step into the Yankees' starting rotation after Clarke Schmidt was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right lat strain.
ANALYSIS
Weaver has worked as a starter for most of his MLB career but has been effective as a reliever this season with a 2.91 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 38:7 K:BB over 34 innings. The veteran right-hander has covered more than one frame in all but three of his 20 appearances this year and has topped out at 51 pitches, so he's likely stretched out enough to cover at least a few innings. However, New York may be hesitant to tweak Weaver's role given his strong start to the campaign.
