Angels signed RHP Jered Weaver to a five-year, $85 million extension. He also received a full no-trade clause. The deal takes care of his final year of arbitration and first four years of free agency. It averages $17 million a season, making Weaver the eighth highest-paid pitcher per year in the majors. The 12th overall pick in the 2004 draft has posted an incredible 2.10 ERA over 25 starts this year to go with a 7.6 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9.

Jered Weaver was reinstated from his suspension on Saturday August 13.

Jered Weaver was smoked for a season-high eight runs over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays. Needless to say, this was easily his worst start of the season.

He had gone at least six innings in each of his previous 24 starts this season. His ERA jumped from 1.78 to 2.13 in the loss. He'll try to get back on track next week against the first-place Rangers.

Jered Weaver spun nine shutout innings Friday, limiting the Mariners to just seven hits and a walk while striking out eight in the 1-0 extra innings win.

Remarkably, it's the 15th time in 24 starts this season that he's given up one or zero runs. Weaver is expected to drop the appeal of his suspension following this start, so his next outing will likely come next weekend in Toronto. He'll take a 1.78 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 150/39 K/BB ratio north of the border.
