## Resource

Luke Weaver, one of baseball’s top relievers, is battling a brutal case of poison ivy and a sinus cold that’s sabotaging his performance with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Once a dominant force with a microscopic ERA and elite strikeout numbers, Weaver’s recent outings have been marred by discomfort and distraction — but he’s still flashing his signature mix of fastball, cutter, and slider. Manager Don Kelly admits it’s been tough, and the medical staff is working hard to get him back on track. With the season winding down and the Pirates’ playoff hopes hanging in the balance, Weaver’s return to form could be the difference-maker they need.
