CaesarтАЩs. Ryan Weathers has yet to finish five innings in each of his first two starts as a Yankee. The oft injured lefty has struggled with his pitch efficiency, throwing 4.34 pitches per plate appearance. And whatтАЩs been noticeable in both starts is the fatigue that has set in, with diminished velocity off his main pitches towards the end of each outing. Coming back on four days rest again, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone yet to let Weathers get deep into the opposing batting order a third time through, I expect a quick hook today. Boone has multiple long relief options he can use (Yarbrough, Winquest, Blackburn), and the AтАЩs have done a solid job of making the Yankee starter work hard all series.
