Weaver (0-2) was roughed up for five runs over 5.2 innings Thursday, walking two and striking out one in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The long ball was the veteran's Achilles heel yet again. Weaver has surrendered 10 home runs in five April starts, leading to an atrocious 3.1 HR/9. He has been lucky in the sense that most of the homers he has given up have come with no runners on base, keeping his ERA at 4.71. However, that ERA is being held together by a luck-aided .183 BABIP (.301 BABIP in 2016), which results in a glaring red flag in the form of a 7.49 FIP. Deep-league owners who have escaped with an ERA under five from Weaver to this point are playing with fire if they continue to roll him out there on a regular basis.
