Jered Weaver was hit hard in Sunday's loss to the Athletics, surrendering five runs on 11 hits over his six innings. Weaver walked one and struck out a pair on the afternoon. The A's jumped on him with a four-run uprising in the third inning, and Jed Lowrie tacked on a solo homer in the fifth frame to complete the damage. The veteran right-hander will look to improve upon his 3.33 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 57/23 K/BB ratio when he takes on the White Sox next weekend.

Jered Weaver posted his fifth consecutive quality start, giving up three runs in Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Mariners. The right-hander struck out five and walked one. Weaver has struck out at least five in six straight outings. This was the first time since Weaver's 0-2, 5.79 ERA start that he's given up three runs in an outing. The pleasant fantasy surprise is 6-3 with a 2.99 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. Weaver gets the A's on the road Sunday.

Jered Weaver yielded only two hits and one run in a complete game in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Astros. Weaver whiffed five and walked only one. It's time to start wondering: Are our lying eyes deceiving us? Weaver appears to have diminished stuff, and nobody was surprised when that flatter-than-usual arsenal produced an 0-2 start with a 5.79 ERA through three starts. Since that time, he's turned in seven strong starts in a row. He's only coughed up three homers during that span -- including George Springer's solo long fly tonight -- which won't continue, but owners need to ride the wave as long as Weaver continues fooling big league hitters. Now 5-3 with a 2.85 ERA and 0.99 WHIP, Weaver has a road date in Seattle on Tuesday.

Jered Weaver pitched seven innings of two-run ball, allowing three hits, Friday against the Rays. Diminished stuff or no, Weaver has turned in six strong starts in a row. It's mostly a result of him allowing just two homers during the span, which seems pretty fluky. Enjoy it while it lasts, but don't expect a lot of mixed-league value the rest of the way.

Jered Weaver baffled the Yankees in his best start of the young season, allowing just one run on six hits over eight innings in Monday's 4-1 triumph. Weaver whiffed seven and walked only one. Through his first three outings, the veteran scuffled to an 0-2 start with a 5.79 ERA. Since then, he's been dynamite, allowing only five runs in four subsequent starts. The right-hander, now 3-2 with a 3.48 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, hopes to carry tonight's stuff through customs for a matchup in Toronto this weekend.

Jered Weaver permitted two runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings in Tuesday's victory over the Indians. The veteran struck out six, walked one and hit the showers early at 90 pitches. He was dancing around all those hits until Carlos Santana's two-run homer in the sixth summoned Michael Kohn to the mound pronto. Weaver evens his record to 2-2 to go with a tidy 4.00 ERA. He'll toe the rubber in Los Angeles against the Yankees on Monday.

Jered Weaver held the Nationals to one run over six innings in Wednesday's start, but took the no decision. Ernesto Frieri blew the save in the ninth inning, taking Weaver out of the running for his second win of the season. Weaver allowed seven hits, walked one, and struck out two. Weaver has struck out only five batters in 12 innings over his last two starts, but it's nothing to worry about yet.

Jered Weaver turned in his best start of the 2014 season, allowing just one run on three hits over six innings in Friday's victory over the Tigers. Weaver walked three and struck out three on the night. Even with his velocity down, he was able to keep Tigers hitters off-balance which led to weak contact throughout the game. He now sports a 4.76 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 20/10 K/BB ratio through 24 2/3 innings on the season. He'll look to replicate this outing when he does battle against the Nationals in Washington on Wednesday.

Jered Weaver gave up four runs while pitching 6 2/3 innings Saturday against the Mets. Weaver allowed just one hit through six innings, but the Mets rallied for three in the seventh, with the last two of those coming after Weaver left the game. Weaver walked four and gave up his fifth homer of the year before departing. He's just a fringe guy in mixed leagues right now.

Jered Weaver allowed four runs (three earned) in 6 1/3 innings Monday in a loss to the Mariners. Weaver held the Mariners to just one run over the first five innings, but things came apart for him at the end. All told, he allowed six hits and three walks while fanning six. We still think he can be successful, especially making half of his starts in a pitcher-friendly ballpark, but it's hard to look at him as a top-tier starting pitcher with his velocity continuing to decline.
