Ryan Weathers, the Miami Marlins pitcher, will start the season on the injured list due to a left forearm strain. This injury comes after experiencing discomfort during spring training, with an expected recovery time of four to six weeks. New manager Clayton McCullough has confirmed that Weathers has a mild flexor strain without damage to the ulnar collateral ligament. Last season, Weathers had a 3.63 ERA and was slated to be the No. 2 starter behind Sandy Alcantara, also hindered by recovery from Tommy John surgery. Additionally, fellow starter Edward Cabrera will also miss the beginning of the season due to a blister on his finger, compounding the Marlins' pitching woes.
