Angels manager Mike Scioscia is not concerned with Jered Weaver being overworked.
Weaver currently leads the majors with 1,735 pitches thrown and has tossed 100 pitches or more in all 15 of his starts this season. "If he was not bouncing back between starts, if he wasn't throwing his bullpens, if he was out of his mechanics, that would be a sign you're over-extending him," said Scioscia. "That hasn't been the case." While Weaver isn't piling up the strikeouts like he did last year, he still owns a very shiny 2.08 ERA to go along with an outstanding 0.93 WHIP.
