Weaver, recalled from Triple-A Memphis earlier in the day, fired a scoreless sixth inning in Monday's 14-6 win over the Marlins, allowing two hits.

EDGE Analysis

The impressive 23-year-old pitched to some contact but ultimately wiggled out of trouble by getting Giancarlo Stanton to line out to center. Weaver could potentially be deployed in a couple of different roles while with the big-league club, including in a multi-inning capacity out of the bullpen, given his extensive starting experience in the minors.

Weaver was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

There's no indication that the Cardinals are dealing with any injuries among the starting staff, so it's likely that Weaver will just be up with the club through the All-Star break to work in long relief. The right-hander has been exceptional at Triple-A this season with a 1.93 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 56 innings, and would likely rank as the top option to start should an opening in the rotation arise at some point.

Weaver (back) fired six scoreless innings in Triple-A Memphis' win over Oklahoma City on Wednesday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old eased back into action last Friday against Omaha by pitching 3.2 scoreless innings of one-hit ball, but Wednesday's outing saw him stretch out to 91 pitches. Weaver has looked very effective over the two appearances, and after throwing a combined 166 pitches, seems to be completely over his injury. The right-hander remains a candidate to make an appearance with the major-league club before the end of the season.

Weaver (back) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Loius Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver hasn't pitched since June 11 due to the back issue, but it doesn't sound like the injury was anything the Cardinals ever viewed as significant. The minor setback shouldn't derail what has been an outstanding season for the 23-year-old, who maintains a 2.33 ERA and 51:9 K:BB over 46.1 innings for Memphis. Weaver could merit consideration for a rotation spot with the big club at some point during the second half.

Weaver left his start Sunday for Triple-A Memphis in the third inning with an undisclosed injury, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports. He gave up three runs on three hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 2.1 innings before exiting.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver has a 2.33 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 51:9 K:BB in 46.1 innings at Triple-A, and prior to the injury he would have been the presumed starter if the Cardinals had a long-term hole to plug in the big-league rotation. His value is up in the air until the exact nature of the injury is announced.

The Cardinals won't call up Weaver to start either game of their doubleheader Tuesday against the Brewers, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The organization decided to keep Weaver on his normal throwing schedule with Triple-A Memphis, so he started Sunday with the minor-league club to take him out of consideration for a spot start with the Cardinals. Instead, it appears that Triple-A rotation mate Marco Gonzales will be recalled to fill the starting void in the doubleheader. With a 1.84 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 44 innings for Memphis heading into his start Sunday, Weaver has little left to prove in the minors and should force his way to St. Louis before long.

Weaver (back) was activated from he disabled list and will start for Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver will rejoin Memphis' starting rotation after landing on the disabled list April 9 with a back injury. The first-round pick will look to establish himself in Memphis as he pushes for a promotion to the majors.

Weaver (back) completed a successful live batting practice session Tuesday and could be back with Triple-A Memphis within a week, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is great news regarding Weaver's recovery and indicates his lower-back stiffness has subsided with simple rest. The former first round draft pick completed just two innings of work in his 2017 debut before being removed with the injury, but will likely resume his regular starting role with Memphis once he returns.

Weaver, who was placed on the 7-day disabled list Sunday, has been diagnosed with lower-back stiffness and faces an unclear timetable for a return, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Weaver was pulled early from his start with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, it was initially speculated that the injury was related to his pitching hand, but the back was instead the source of his discomfort. The Cardinals should have a better idea of how much time Weaver might miss based on how he progresses from the injury in the coming days, but he'll likely be shut down for the time being as he waits for the back pain to subside.

Weaver, who was removed from his start with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday after two innings under mysterious circumstances, was placed on the 7-day disabled list Sunday, MiLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cardinals haven't released many details about Weaver's injury, but it's believed that the injury is related to the hand or finger on his right hand. If Weaver's injury proves to be more than a short-term concern, the Cardinals will surely provide more clarity on the situation, but in any event, don't expect him to push for a promotion to the big leagues until he resumes pitching with Memphis for an extended stretch.
