Diamondbacks' Luke Weaver: Set to return Wednesday
Weaver (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Padres, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Weaver suffered a rotator cuff strain in mid-May and has slowly been working his way back ever since. He began a rehab assignment in early August, with him most recently working up to 73 pitches in his latest outing with Triple-A Reno on Aug. 20. The team had previously expressed a desire to give him one more minor-league start after he spent seven days in COVID protocols, but he'll instead return to a major-league mound for his next outing Wednesday. Given his lengthy absence and the fact that he hasn't pitched in a live game in over 10 days, Weaver seems likely to be on a strict pitch count during his return.
