2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Allows seven runs in short start
Weaver allowed seven runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings Tuesday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Weaver allowed a season-high seven runs in his shortest start to date this year. The Dodgers quickly piled on three runs in the opening frame and added another five runs in the fourth, four of which were charged to Weaver. After J.D. Martinez took him deep Tuesday night, Weaver has allowed 12 home runs in nine starts, which is tied for fifth most among all qualified pitchers. The 29-year-old now sports a 6.27 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 46:11 K:BB across 47.1 innings and tentatively lines up for a start next week on the road against the Royals.

Weaver was one of the worst starters in baseball during the shortened 2020 campaign with a 1-9 record and 6.58 ERA, but he rebounded last season to post a respectable 4.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 62:20 K:BB over 65.2 innings. The 28-year-old missed over three months with a rotator cuff injury but returned for the final month of the season and pitched well down the stretch. Weaver should work at the back end of Arizona's rotation and could be a streaming option in deeper leagues if he can continue the upward trend from 2021.
