Weber signed a minor-league contract with the Rays on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber missed the majority of the 2017 campaign with a right biceps strain, which he suffered in his lone appearance for the Mariners last season. Prior to injuring himself, the 27-year-old righty earned himself a promotion to the majors thanks to an impressive 0.85 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across 31.2 innings with Triple-A Tacoma. Weber will likely open the season as organizational pitching depth, though he could work his way into contention for a roster spot with a strong spring.

Weber (biceps) was activated from the disabled list and outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Weber had been nursing a bicep injury since mid-May and had appeared in just one game in the majors this season. Weber was sent to Seattle's Rookie-league affiliate for a rehab assignment, where he pitched one scoreless inning Sept. 3.

Weber (biceps) is hoping to play catch Friday for the first time since suffering his injury in mid-May, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old right-hander has been on the disabled list since May 14 and endured a rather slow recovery. Weber's only appearance of 2017 with the Mariners was the May 13 start in which he was injured, but he'd allowed an 0.85 ERA and 0.77 WHIP over 31.2 innings across six appearances (five starts) with Triple-A Tacoma to start the season.

Weber (biceps) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Weber doesn't seem to have made any progress in his rehab program since landing on the disabled list in mid-May, so the Mariners will boot him from the 40-man roster for the time being to allow Tyler Smith and Tyler Cloyd to join the big league pitching staff. No timetable for Weber's return has come forth yet, but he's now ineligible to return from the disabled list until July 14.

Weber (biceps) has yet to resume throwing, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber will remain shut down from any throwing activities until his injury symptoms subside. Weber was placed on the DL on May 14, so he's likely on track to miss more than the minimum 10 days. The Mariners have yet to outline a timeframe for Weber's return, but one should become available when his level of activity increases.

Weber was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday due to a right biceps strain, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weber was diagnosed with the injury after meeting with a doctor following his spot start Saturday against the Blue Jays, during which he gave up one run over 3.2 innings. The right-hander was only making a spot start for the Mariners and was expected to head to the bullpen for his subsequent appearance, but his move to the DL instead prompted the team to recall Dan Altavilla from Triple-A Tacoma to join the Seattle relief corps.

Weber is set to meet with a doctor in Toronto on Saturday to have his right shoulder examined, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This adds to the concern surrounding Weber, who left Saturday's start in the fourth inning with what has been diagnosed as right shoulder tightness. The Mariners will send him to a specialist for further examination, at which point there should be more clarity on the severity of his injury. If he requires a DL stint, it'll be another blow to what is an already beleaguered Mariners pitching staff.

Weber was diagnosed with right shoulder tightness after exiting Saturday's start prematurely.
EDGE Analysis
Initial reports reported that the right-hander was clutching his bicep as he was leaving the contest, but the team medical staff has revealed that the issue actually lies within his shoulder. It's still unclear whether or not he'll need a DL stint, but more information on that front should come forth in the coming days.

Weber was removed from Saturday's game in the fifth inning with what appeared to be a biceps injury, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to exiting, Weber trekked through 3.2 innings while allowing one run on three hits. The only reason Weber was starting Saturday's game was because of the multitude of injuries surrounding Seattle's pitching staff, and now he'll get added onto the list. It's unclear how severe the ailment is or whether he'll require a DL stint, but more information should be revealed once team doctors are able to examine him.

Weber's contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma and he will start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners' rotation has been decimated by injuries, with their four best starting pitchers all currently on the disabled list. Weber posted a 0.85 ERA (3.42 FIP), 0.76 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB over 31.2 innings for Tacoma prior to the promotion. While his ratios are impressive, he does not miss enough bats to project as a viable long-term option against big-league hitters. He has a career 5.15 ERA and 15.8 percent strikeout rate in 64.2 MLB innings.
