## Resource

Ryan Weathers is poised to resume throwing this weekend after a forearm strain sidelined him in August—just as he was on a tear with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven starts. The Yankees’ lefty, who’s already surpassed his career-high innings this season and struck out 143 batters, has been a vital piece of their rotation amid depth issues. With the playoffs looming, the team faces a crucial decision: keep him as a starter or shift him to the bullpen for high-leverage spots. His health—and how quickly he ramps up—will be a key storyline as the Yankees gear up for postseason baseball. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
