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.

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.
