Weaver allowed seven runs on nine hits, he did not walk a batter and struck out two over 5.2 innings of an 8-7 loss to the Yankees on Friday night.
The pummeling broke a string of five consecutive quality starts, but he had been ducking away from hard hit balls over most of that. Weaver (4-5, 4.60 ERA) works with just a mid 80s fastball and relies exclusively on command and keeping hitters off balance at this stage of his career. He's a wily veteran, but his severely depleted repertoire makes him a very risky play in fantasy circles.
