Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Weaver (thumb) is unlikely to miss time, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver exited Thursday's Cactus League start with a blister on the first knuckle of his right thumb, but Lovullo was optimistic Saturday. "It seems that he won't miss any time," the manager said. "He should be OK." In an added indicator that Weaver is okay, the Diamondbacks reassigned potential starters Taylor Widener and Tyler Gilbert to minor-league camp.

Weaver was removed from Thursday's Cactus League start due to a blister on the knuckle of his right thumb, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver exited Thursday's matchup after three innings but didn't seem too concerned about the issue after the game. It's not yet clear whether the blister will impact his availability for the start of the regular season, but it seems unlikely that he'll face a lengthy absence if he's sidelined at all.

Weaver exited Thursday's Cactus League start against the Padres with an apparent finger injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver allowed two hits and two walks and had three strikeouts over three scoreless frames before leaving with an apparent blister or fingernail issue during the fourth inning. The team should update his status in the near future, but the right-hander's status for Opening Day since the April 7 opener is only a week away.

Weaver allowed four runs on three hits and three walks over 1.1 innings in Friday's spring training start against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver also threw a wild pitch during his Cactus League debut. The right-hander told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that he was "caught in between" in an effort to incorporate a mechanical adjustment from earlier in the week. Weaver was trying to create more stability with his landing leg, but he made it sound like he's going to scrap the adjustment the next time out. He's penciled in as the fourth starter but could move up a spot if Zac Gallen (shoulder) isn't available when the regular season kicks off.

Weaver and the Diamondbacks agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.875 million contract Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver will get a raise of just shy of $1 million in his second year of arbitration eligibility. He finished with an unremarkable 4.25 ERA in 13 starts last season, though that represented a big step forward from the 6.58 ERA he managed the year prior.

Weaver pitched four innings, surrendering one run on three hits and four walks while striking out six in Tuesday's loss to the Giants. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was unable to pitch deep in this one, allowing 7 baserunners and being pulled at 93 pitches after the fourth inning. The only run he gave up was in the first inning when he walked Mike Yastrzemski with the bases loaded, scoring Buster Posey. Since returning from the 60-day injured list on Sept. 1, Weaver has made five starts while posting a 3.86 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 25.2 innings. He isn't projected to make another start before the regular season ends Sunday, finishing the year with a 3-6 record and 4.25 ERA in 65.2 innings.

Weaver (3-6) took the loss in Tuesday's 6-1 defeat to Atlanta, allowing five runs (three earned) on seven hits with seven strikeouts in 6.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver pitched well Tuesday but fell victim to the long ball, permitting all five runs on three Atlanta home runs. The quality start is the 28-year-old's third in his last six turns, a stretch that's seen Weaver allow no more than three earned runs in any outing and lower his ERA from 6.07 to 4.38. He's currently slated to face San Francisco on Tuesday for his next turn in the rotation.

Weaver (3-5) took the loss in Tuesday's 8-4 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts in four innings.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers got to Weaver early with one run in the first inning and three in the third, putting Arizona in a four-run hole by the time he departed. The big takeaway here is Weaver's health as he tossed 84 pitches in his third start since May -- the most he's thrown in a game since way back in April. Look for Arizona to play it cautious with the 28-year-old as he's still under team control for two more seasons.

Weaver (3-4) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus Texas.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's second start back from a rotator cuff injury didn't go as smoothly as the first. Weaver ran into trouble in the fourth inning, and Texas held the lead from there after putting up three runs against the 28-year-old. He's pitched to a 4.24 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB across 51 innings in 10 starts this year. Weaver projects for a tough road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Weaver (3-3) allowed one run on four hits while striking out three over six innings in a win over the Padres on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver made his first start since May 16 after landing on the 60-day injured list with a rotator cuff strain. The 27-year-old only managed four whiffs and three strikeouts, so he certainly wasn't overpowering with his pitches, but he was able to limit the Padres to just four hits, with Trent Grisham's solo homer being the only tally against him. Weaver is down to a 4.11 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB over 46 innings and is certainly an appealing streamer for the final month of the season. He currently lines up for an enticing matchup against the Rangers next week.
