Weaver (3-2) was smashed for eight runs on nine hits (three of them homers) in four innings against the Cardinals on Thursday. He struck out five without a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Yes, Weaver sure did throw a lot of strikes -- 56 of 79 pitches -- and his soft offerings were smacked around the ballpark like the batting-practice pitches they are. The veteran righty's turned out a few solid starts, but they've been overshadowed by a number of blowups, and while he'll bring his ERA down from the hideous 6.10 he currently owns, that won't be enough to make him into a net positive fantasy asset in the vast majority of formats.
