Jered Weaver: Announces retirement Wednesday
Jered Weaver announced his retirement Wednesday after spending 12 years in the majors.Weaver has been battling back from a left hip injury that's kept him off the field since mid-May, but the 34-year-old decided to call it a career after it became apparent that the issue was not going away as quickly as he had hoped. During just nine starts with the Padres, Weaver accumulated a 7.44 ERA and 1.49 WHIP, and has been unable to recapture his form the past few years. Weaver leaves the league having played 11 seasons with the Angels and just a few months with San Diego, totaling 150 wins in more than 2,000 innings during his major-league career.

Padres' Jered Weaver: Begins playing catch
Jered Weaver (hip) has been able to play catch since landing on the disabled list May 20, but he remains without a firm timetable for a return, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. "I don't think there's a hard and fast plan laid out for him at this time, but I don't think we're going to be far off trying to figure out what that plan is," San Diego Padres manager Andy Green said. "We were more trying to let his body rest for a week, play catch when he felt good, and then start to ramp up activity in the training room and weight room as he's starting to feel better."It doesn't sound like Weaver's bout with left hip inflammation is anything too worrisome, but the Padres aren't eager to expedite his rehab after he submitted a 7.44 ERA and allowed 16 homers over nine starts before hitting the DL. With the Padres owning the worst record in baseball and not expected to make up ground in the competitive NL West, it wouldn't be surprising if the 34-year-old were to be designated for assignment once healthy, as he wouldn't seem to have much of a future on a rebuilding team.

Padres' Jered Weaver: Headed to DL
Jered Weaver was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with left hip inflammation.The announcement comes just a day after Weaver was lit up by the Diamondbacks for seven runs in less than one inning of work. He's given up seven runs in three of his last four trips to the mound, so we'll see if a healthy Weaver can turn things around when he returns. It's unclear how long the injury will keep the 34-year-old sidelined, though more should be known once the San Diego Padres update his status. Jose Valdez was recalled from Triple-A to take his place on the roster for the time being, while his replacement in the rotation will likely be named sometime before Tuesday.

Padres' Jered Weaver: Can't escape first inning Friday
Jered Weaver (0-5) was clobbered for seven runs on five hits and two walks while recording only two outs in Friday's 10-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.The 34-year-old may not be long for the San Diego Padres rotation after allowing at least seven runs in three of his last four trips to the mound, leaving him with a miserable 7.44 ERA and jaw-dropping 3.4 HR/9 through 42.1 innings. Weaver's next start is scheduled for Thursday on the road against the Mets, but don't be surprised if the team finds someone else to take his spot.

Padres' Jered Weaver: Pitches well in loss Sunday
Jered Weaver tossed six innings of one-run ball Sunday, walking two and striking out three in a loss to the White Sox.The San Diego Padres gave up nine runs Sunday, and for the first time in three starts, Weaver can safely say it wasn't his fault. It was an outing of firsts for the 34-year-old, as he allowed less than two runs and held his opponents homerless for the first time this season. Even with the strong showing, it would be tough to recommend Weaver and his 6.05 ERA in his next start against the Diamondbacks on Friday.
