Ryan Weathers has been named to the New York Yankees' Division Series roster against the Tampa Bay Rays. Weathers last pitched on August 22 and has not seen action since due to a left forearm flexor strain. His role is expected to be limited, with suggestions he start in short relief rather than as a full-time pitcher. The Yankees' decision to include Weathers reflects their need for a left-handed option, although questions remain about his readiness after an extended layoff. A clean inning in his first appearance would be a positive sign for the Yankees.
- •Weathers has a 3.60 ERA with 143 strikeouts this season.

- •The Yankees are against the Tampa Bay Rays in the Division Series.
- •Weathers could provide valuable innings from the bullpen.
