Weathers (acquired from SD in the offseason) gets the rotation lock through at least mid-June with Fried on the IL. The 3.00 ERA / 23% K-BB combo plays in the Bronx. Top-40 SP rest of season ceiling — still in 30% of leagues.

7.1 scoreless innings with 8 K. Weathers is the third Yankees rotation arm (after Warren and Schlittler) to put up a monster start this week. When Cole returns, someone is getting bumped — ride Weathers until that happens.
