Yankees' Ryan Weber: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Yankees placed Weber (forearm) on outright waivers Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Weber pitched well for New York after being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in May, but his season came to an end in early June, when he was diagnosed with a right forearm strain. At last check, the 33-year-old was undergoing platelet-rich plasma treatment in an effort to avoid Tommy John surgery.

Yankees' Ryan Weber: Hoping to avoid surgery
Rotowire
Weber (forearm) has opted for a platelet-rich injection and rehab in an attempt to avoid Tommy John surgery, per MLB.com.
Weber has been on the shelf since feeling discomfort near his right forearm in an outing against the Dodgers on June 2. Season-ending Tommy John surgery remains a possibility, but the righty reliever is taking a conservative treatment approach with the hope that he can return to the big-league team before the end of the campaign. Weber is on the 60-day IL and can't be activated until early August, at the soonest, even if he responds well to the treatment.

Yankees' Ryan Weber: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Yankees transferred Weber (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

As a result of the move to the 60-day IL, Weber won't be eligible for activation until early August while he works back from a right forearm strain.

Yankees' Ryan Weber: Notches save Saturday
Rotowire
Weber earned a 10th-inning save against Cincinnati on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect frame.
The Yankees scored three runs in the top of the 10th, then turned to Weber to close things out in the bottom of the frame. He needed just 10 pitches to do so, throwing seven strikes and retiring the side in order. The save was Weber's first this season and second in his career. Though New York's closer situation remains unsettled, Weber isn't expected to see many additional chances in that role.
