NEW YORK -- New York Yankees starter Ryan Weathers exited Saturday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning with left forearm discomfort and is scheduled to undergo imaging to determine the extent of the injury. Weathers departed after throwing his 72nd pitch with runners on first and second. He walked around the mound in clear pain, prompting manager Aaron Boone and a trainer to check on him before walking off the field.

Acquired from the Miami Marlins during the offseason, Weathers has already totaled a career-high number of innings pitched this season. The left-hander entered Saturday having logged at least five innings and allowed one or fewer runs in each of his previous five starts to lower his ERA to 3.56.

The Yankees have already dealt with significant injuries this season to fellow left-handers Max Fried and Carlos Rodon. Fried is on the injured list with a recurrence of a bone bruise but threw a bullpen session Saturday. Rodon returned from the injured list last week after missing more than a month with elbow inflammation.
