Weathers dropped to 1-1 in Monday's 2-0 loss to Atlanta, pitching six innings and allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
Though Weathers took the loss, he continued his strong start to the campaign with his first quality start. The left-hander recorded season-high marks with six frames and five strikeouts, and he's now held the opponent to two or fewer runs in all three of his starts this season. Weathers entered the rotation due to Joe Musgrove (toe/shoulder) opening the campaign on the injured list, but he's pitched well enough to at least be in consideration to retain a starting role once Musgrove returns. Even if the Friars opt to maintain a six-man rotation, the addition of Musgrove would have to result in either Nick Martinez or Seth Lugo moving to the bullpen if Weathers were to retain a starting role.
