"Just an hour or so before game time, the Miami Marlins announced that Ryan Weathers would be placed on the 60-day injured list with a left lat strain-a blow that blindsided many. The timing of the news was particularly jarring given that Weathers had just endured a scary moment the previous afternoon, taking a throw from catcher Nick Fortes off the top of his head during warmups."
"The ripple effect of that pressure was evident in Eury Pérez's long-awaited return to the mound. In a 10-3 loss to Pittsburgh, the 22-year-old right-hander lasted just three innings, surrendering four earned runs on four hits. While his fastball still touched the upper 90s, but his breaking stuff-a key reason for his success in Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Jacksonville-appeared flat and lacked the sharp bite seen earlier this season."
Eury Pérez earned a major-league opportunity after eight minor-league starts and a 1.99 ERA in 22.2 innings with Pensacola and Jacksonville. The Marlins placed Ryan Weathers on the 60-day injured list with a left lat strain following a warmup incident, further depleting an already thin rotation. Pérez lasted three innings in a 10-3 loss to Pittsburgh, allowing four earned runs on four hits; his fastball still touched the upper 90s, but his breaking pitches lacked the sharpness that drove his minor-league success. The Marlins face a pivotal stretch testing rotation depth and pitch-mix consistency.
