Weathers (finger) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
In his third rehab appearances this past Friday, Weathers worked five scoreless innings for Triple-A Jacksonville, giving up two hits and walking three while striking out eight batters in the outing. After waiting a few days to see how he bounced back, the Marlins have determined that Weathers is ready to return from the IL. He'll face a tough challenge in his first big-league action since June 7, though he kept his team in the game in a matchup with the Dodgers back on May 8, giving up three runs over six innings.
