Luke Weaver

Luke Weaver (elbow) will start for the D'Backs on Saturday versus San Diego.

Fantasy Impact

Weaver will be making his first start since May and is expected to be on a pitch count. He was excellent before going down with an elbow injury, posting a 3.03 ERA through 11 starts.

If this goes well the next step for Weaver would likely be pitching in a sim game, or even in a post-season game for one of Arizona's minor league teams. The D'Backs are hopeful he will pitch again this season, but he's very unlikely to have any fantasy value this year.

Fantasy Impact

It's unclear how many pitches Weaver will throw, but D'Backs manager Torey Lovullo wants to see him "let loose". Weaver has been out since May with a flexor strain and it's still up in the air if he'll pitch again this year. He was throwing well before getting injured, however, and is a name to remember for 2020.

Luke Weaver (forearm) has been diagnosed with a mild flexor pronator strain and a mild UCL sprain.

Fantasy Impact

Weaver wont require surgery for now and will instead opt for rest and rehab. The Diamondbacks want to play things safe with him and aren't putting a timetable on his return. He'll return to pitch this season in a best case scenario, but that can't be taken for granted.

The Diamondbacks have placed Luke Weaver (forearm) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Weaver left Sunday's start with the injury and is undergoing an MRI today. We should know more following the results of the MRI but this is a killer for fantasy owners and the D'Backs. Weaver has been fantastic this season, posting a 3.03 ERA through two months.
