Weaver allowed three hits and one walk over 6.1 scoreless innings during Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals. He stuck out six and didn't factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver recorded an out during the seventh inning for the first time this season and generated 17 swinging strikes on 86 pitches. The right-hander was left with a no-decision despite producing his first quality start, since neither team managed to score until the eighth inning. Weaver surrendered eight home runs in his first four starts of the year, but he's reined in the long ball of late with just one homer allowed over his past three outings.

Weaver did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and zero walks over 4.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Most of the damage was done in the fifth inning, where Weaver gave up three runs after striking out Anthony Volpe to open up the inning. Immediately after recording the punchout, Isiah Kiner-Falefa clubbed a solo home run, then the Yankees fired off four straight hits to get Weaver pulled on just 73 pitches. Though Weaver owns a 6.52 ERA and is giving up 2.6 HR/9 on the year, he remains an intriguing matchup-based streamer and daily fantasy option due to his immense strikeout upside (eight K's in two starts this season). However, he'll have a tough time reaching his punchout upside in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to occur against the Cardinals, who strike out the eighth fewest times per game in MLB.

Weaver did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings during a 3-1 loss to the Marlins. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver posted five scoreless frames before allowing a game-tying hit in the sixth and was pulled with one out. It was the first time in five starts that the right-hander hadn't surrendered multiple runs, lowering his ERA from 7.36 to 6.26. Despite the poor start to the campaign, Weaver still boasts a 27:8 K:BB over 27.1 innings, giving him a solid upside if he can start posting more scoreless frames. However, he'll likely have a difficult matchup in his next start, as he's projected to face the Yankees during the opener of a three-game weekend set.

Weaver (1-2) picked up the win Tuesday in a 7-6 victory over the Mets, giving up four runs on four hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over six-plus innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander did pitch into the seventh inning for the first time this season, but maybe he shouldn't have as Pete Alonso led off the frame with a solo shot before the next three batters reached base, chasing Weaver from the game. He exited after 82 pitches (57 strikes), and he's now served up multiple homers in three of his four starts this season for Cincy. Weaver's rotation spot isn't in jeopardy for the moment, largely due to the fact he's one of the team's few healthy options, but his 7.36 ERA and 1.45 WHIP don't offer much long-term job security. He'll likely next take the mound this weekend in Miami.

Weaver (0-2) yielded four runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.1 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing a two-run double to Juan Soto in the first inning, Weaver settled in for a pair of shutout frames before being charged with another run in the fourth and fifth innings. Weaver has given up at least four runs in each of his three starts this season, resulting in an unsightly 7.88 ERA through 16 innings. He's projected for a home matchup with the White Sox this weekend.

Weaver did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against Texas. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

While Weaver was able to rack up eight strikeouts Tuesday, he struggled to keep the ball in the yard, surrendering three home runs. However, Weaver was spared the loss as the Reds rallied to score six runs in the eighth inning, ultimately winning 7-6. Weaver is 0-1 through his first two starts of the year with a 7.72 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB. It's hard to see him having much fantasy value moving forward.

Weaver (0-1) took the loss Thursday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over six innings against the Pirates. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver got off to a rough start in his Reds debut, allowing back-to-back home runs to Connor Joe and Jack Suwinski in a four-run first inning. However, Weaver would settle in and blank the Pirates over his final five frames, allowing just one more hit while punching out seven of his last 16 batters faced. The 29-year-old Weaver will look to carry the momentum into his next start, likely to come next week against the Rangers. He went 1-1 with a 6.56 ERA in 35.2 innings last season between Arizona and Kansas City.

Weaver (forearm) was activated Thursday from the 15-day injured list.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver will make his season debut -- and Reds debut -- in a start Thursday night against the Pirates after getting over a bout of forearm inflammation that popped up in mid-March. He signed a one-year, $2 million deal with Cincinnati over the winter, coming off a rough 6.56 ERA in 35.2 innings (mostly in relief) last year between Arizona and Kansas City.

Weaver (forearm) is set to come off the injured list and start Thursday against the Pirates, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Levi Stoudt will be brought up by the Reds for a spot start Wednesday versus the Rays to give Weaver one additional day of rest following his two-outing rehab stint at Triple-A Louisville. Weaver missed the first three weeks of the 2023 major-league season due to a flexor tendon strain, but he's all set now to become a regular presence in the Cincinnati rotation.

Weaver (forearm) will not get the start for the Reds on Wednesday versus the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver had been lined up for that assignment after making two minor-league rehab starts at Triple-A Louisville, but the nod will instead go to Levi Stoudt. It's unclear yet whether Weaver has suffered a setback in his recovery from a spring flexor tendon injury.
