Ryan Weathers

Increased velocity made Weathers a popular sleeper for a period of time last spring before he went down with a left forearm strain. He made his 2025 season debut in mid-May, only to wind up back on the injured list after five starts with a strained lat. The southpaw returned to make three starts in September, pitching to an unsightly 5.27 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over his final 13.2 innings. A first-round pick by the Padres in 2018, Weathers has shown flashes in the years since he was traded to Miami, but the injuries are piling up as he also missed extended time in 2024 with a finger issue. The Marlins see upside and figure to be patient with Weathers. They will be hoping he can stay healthy and clear 100 innings for the first time as a member of the starting rotation in 2026.
