Weaver allowed two runs on three hits and five walks across four innings en route to a no-decision Sunday against the Reds. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver struggled with his control in this one, throwing just 57 percent of his pitches for strikes as he tied his season high in free passes. Three of those walks came in a two-run first inning, though Joey Votto was the only one to come around to score. Weaver settled down over the next three frames, but he had already worked up to 83 pitches by that point and was removed prior to the fifth. This was his first start in roughly three weeks and he'll look for a better result in his next scheduled outing this weekend against the Tigers.

Weaver will take the hill for Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver will temporarily rejoin the rotation for a spot start in order to give Jack Flaherty an extra day of rest before starting Monday's game in Washington. Over the past two weeks, Weaver has served exclusively out of the bullpen, including a clean inning of work versus Pittsburgh during Thursday's victory. In 23 starts this year, he's logged a 4.66 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 111 strikeouts in 121.2 innings.

Weaver will be removed from the Cardinals rotation, with Daniel Poncedeleon taking his place and starting Tuesday, Rob Rains of StLSportsPage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a disappointing season for the 24-year-old, whose ERA sits at 4.67 through 24 starts after he received a fair bit of buzz as a potential breakout candidate prior to the start of the season. He'll lose his place after failing to throw more than four innings in three of his last five starts, posting a 1.88 WHIP over that stretch.

Interim manager Mike Shildt confirmed Friday that there are no immediate plans to remove Weaver from the starting rotation, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There'd been some thought that the young right-hander could get the boot after another rough outing against the Nationals on Thursday, especially given that Tyson Ross is now in the fold as a potential replacement. However, the Cardinals are apparently willing to be patient with Weaver, whose overall performance hasn't been as bad as his unsightly 6-11 record suggests. Weaver has struggled in August, however, allowing eight runs (six earned) on 19 hits and three walks over 12.1 innings across three starts. He'll apparently get another opportunity to right the ship versus the Dodgers next Tuesday, but one more stumble could lead to Ross or another prospect such as Dakota Hudson being given an opportunity.

Weaver (6-11) tossed 3.2 innings Thursday, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk in the 5-4 loss to Washington. He took the loss and struck out just one batter.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver needed 71 pitches Thursday and still didn't make it out of the fourth inning. His one strikeout was the lowest on the season but he still owns a solid 112:44 K:BB in 125.1 innings. Weaver has taken a loss in his last two starts and he'll look to end the skid in Los Angeles against the Dodgers next Tuesday.

Weaver (finger) will start Thursday against the Nationals, Rob Rains of StLSportsPage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver was originally expected to rejoin the rotation Friday against the Brewers, but he'll flip places with Jack Flaherty and get the ball for Thursday's series finale against the Nationals. The young right-hander will still be well rested as he had his previous turn in the rotation skipped after cutting his finger on an aluminum food container. Weaver owns a 4.66 ERA through 23 starts this season.

Updating a previous report, interim manager Mike Shildt confirmed Tuesday that Weaver (finger) will make his next scheduled start Friday against the Brewers, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals had been optimistic that Weaver would only miss one start after suffering a laceration while opening an aluminum food container, and it appears the best-case scenario will unfold. Weaver's 6-10 record isn't pretty to look at, but he may be gathering some momentum after logging quality starts against the Cubs and Marlins in two of the last three outings.

The Cardinals are hopeful that Weaver (finger) won't be forced to miss another start, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver was scratched from his previous outing after slicing his finger opening an aluminum food container, but it doesn't sound like the issue will force him to miss more than one turn through the rotation. Interim manager Mike Schildt said the Cardinals' training staff applied "magical super glue" to Weaver's finger to expedite the healing, and the right-hander is expected to be available for his next start Friday against the Brewers.

Weaver was scratched from Sunday's scheduled start against the Royals due to a cut on his finger, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The recently acquired Tyson Ross will take the mound for the Cardinals in his absence. The severity of the cut remains unclear, as his next turn in the starting rotation would come against the Brewers on Friday.

Weaver (6-10) surrendered two runs on seven hits while fanning five across six innings as he took the loss Monday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver gave up a run in the first and fourth innings, but he failed to receive much run support as the Cardinals managed to plate just one run in the ninth. The 24-year-old has allowed two runs in each of his past three starts and he's recorded 13 punchouts and one win over that span (14.2 innings). His next start lines up for Sunday against Kansas City.
