NEW YORK — The Yankees were out of the playoff chase and desperate for starting pitching last Sept. 12 when they made a waiver claim on a veteran right-hander with very poor statistics who at the very least was capable of eating up some innings.
Luke Weaver had been a top prospect with the Cardinals back in the day. He was a first-round pick who was in the big leagues as a starting pitcher by age 22 in 2016. He was panning out the next year going 7-2 with a 3.88 ERA in 13 outings, 10 of them starts.
