Weber was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners needed to clear a space on the 40-man roster, and after being designated for assignment earlier in the week, Weber will report to the Triple-A club. The 26-year-old split time between the majors and minors last season while with the Braves organization, posting a 2.76 ERA at Triple-A but a 5.45 mark with the parent club. He'll be used as organizational depth out of the bullpen, though it's possible he gets some starting opportunities while in the minors.

The Mariners designated Weber for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The move was done to make room for Rob Whalen on the team's 40-man roster, whom they traded for Monday. The 26-year-old righty was just claimed off waivers by the Mariners earlier in November. It is unclear what the Mariners have planned for him going forward.

Weber was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old righty made two starts in the big leagues and five at Triple-A in the Braves organization last year, but he primarily worked in relief. It is unclear how the Mariners will deploy him, but he has limited upside in both roles.

Weber allowed three runs over five innings on four hits, two walks and three strikeouts in a start against the Mets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Weber's second start of the season and was an improvement over his first start where he lasted just three innings. He stumbled out of the gate as the Mets led off the game with a walk and a two-run homer, but settled down from there. Following the homer, Weber allowed just three hits and needed only 75 pitches to get through five innings. Weber has had an up-and-down year in a long relief role for the Braves, posting a 5.45 ERA. It's unclear whether or not he'll get another start, but he's a risky play considering he's thrown no quality starts this year.

Weber is expected to start Wednesday's series finale against the Mets, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite only allowing five runs over just three innings in his previous start, the Braves are going to give Weber another chance to show what he's got in a starting role. The 26-year-old will take over the rotation spot of John Gant for the time being, although it's unclear whether this is a one-start fix or a longer-term deal, but that should become clearer after Wednesday's contest.

Weber (1-1) went just three innings in a spot start Monday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk, taking the loss against the Nationals. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Weber had been primarily a bullpen pitcher in 2016, making only a handful of starts in Triple-A and none at the major league level, so no one expected him to go deep into Monday's contest. Still, Weber's five-run third inning proved a hole the Braves couldn't dig themselves out of, as they went on to lose 6-4 against the Nationals. Weber's ERA climbed to 6.39 with the start, and he should slide back into a bullpen role with Matt Wisler expected to return to the rotation next time around.

Weber will start Monday against the Nationals, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's David O'Brien reports.
EDGE Analysis
His last appearance for the Braves was a 1.1 inning relief appearance on Aug. 28, and he has made just five starts all season (all of those coming at Triple-A), so he probably won't go deep enough to qualify for a win Monday. Weber has a 5.24 ERA and just 13 strikeouts in 22.1 innings of relief in the big leagues this year. Monday's start will essentially amount to a bullpen game. The plan is for Matt Wisler (side soreness) to return to the rotation next weekend, so this will likely be a spot start for Weber.

Weber was recalled by the Braves on Saturday, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber has made five starts at the Triple-A level this season, but he's worked exclusively as a reliever in his time with the big league club. He owns a 7.43 ERA with a 1.65 WHIP over 13.1 innings with the Braves this season. Akeel Morris was optioned to Double-A Mississippi to clear a roster spot for Weber.

The Braves have optioned Weber back to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber made two appearances before getting sent down, allowing no runs in 2.2 innings. He will head back to Triple-A Gwinnett where he has a 3.11 ERA in 55 innings.

Weber was called up Friday from Triple-A Gwinnett.
EDGE Analysis
This was a corresponding move to the Braves sending down Matt Wisler on Thursday following their game against the Phillies. Weber has spent some time with the major league club this season, appearing in five games while allowing 11 earned runs and 20 hits over 10.2 innings of work. He has faired much better at the Triple-A level, but has only managed to fan 35 batters during 55 innings with Gwinnett.
