Weaver (0-4) allowed seven runs on six hits and two walks across three innings in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver was hit hard early and often in this one, allowing a two-run double and a three-run homer in the first inning to put his team in a hole. He labored through two more innings and 68 total pitches, but not before surrendering a two-run blast to Joey Gallo to add to the deficit. Weaver delivered three consecutive quality starts in mid-April, but those days seem like long ago, as he has allowed 17 runs over his last 12.2 innings to send his ERA skyrocketing to 6.81. Even more worrisome is the fact that the veteran has already allowed a whopping 14 home runs this season -- something he will certainly need to curtail if he is to stop this free fall Sunday against the White Sox.

Weaver (0-3) was hammered for 10 runs (five earned) on 10 hits over four innings Wednesday. He struck out two in a loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies hit the 34-year-old early and often, setting a new career-high for the veteran in terms of runs allow in an outing. Weaver's teammates didn't help him out in this one, committing three errors that resulted in five unearned runs. The soft-tossing righty can't place all the blame on poor defense, as he served up another pair of home runs, bringing his total to a league-high 12 on the season. Things don't get easier for Weaver in his next start when the hard-hitting Rangers come into town next Monday.

Weaver (0-2) was roughed up for five runs over 5.2 innings Thursday, walking two and striking out one in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The long ball was the veteran's Achilles heel yet again. Weaver has surrendered 10 home runs in five April starts, leading to an atrocious 3.1 HR/9. He has been lucky in the sense that most of the homers he has given up have come with no runners on base, keeping his ERA at 4.71. However, that ERA is being held together by a luck-aided .183 BABIP (.301 BABIP in 2016), which results in a glaring red flag in the form of a 7.49 FIP. Deep-league owners who have escaped with an ERA under five from Weaver to this point are playing with fire if they continue to roll him out there on a regular basis.

Weaver did not factor into Saturday's decision, but he tossed another quality start, holding the Marlins to two runs on four hits over six innings. He walked one and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

After getting hit hard in his first start of the 2017 season, Weaver has turned things around and tossed three-consecutive quality starts, lowering his ERA below four for the first time this year. The 34-year-old continues to get by with smoke and mirrors, stifling major league hitters while averaging 84 mph on his fastball. There is one concern regarding Weaver's early success, his inability to keep the ball in the yard (2.7 HR/9). The veteran has been relatively lucky that almost all of the homers he has surrendered have come with no men on base, but that luck is likely to run out sooner or later. Owners who have been benefiting from Weaver's solid start to the season need to be wary, as the other shoe could drop at any moment.

Weaver allowed three runs (two earned) across six innings en route to a no-decision Monday against the Braves, allowing seven hits with no walks and three strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver was incredibly efficient and needed just 64 pitches, 46 of which went for strikes, to make it through six frames. He allowed an unearned run in the second inning and was victimized by a two-run homer from Freddie Freeman in the third. After looking shaky in his first start as a Padre, Weaver has turned in back-to-back quality starts to lower his ERA to 4.24. Wins will probably be hard to come by, as he has received just five runs of support thus far, but he is throwing the ball quite well heading into Saturday's matchup with the Marlins.

Weaver allowed two runs on three hits and no walks across six innings en route to a no-decision Tuesday against the Rockies. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver displayed sound control in this one and threw first-pitch strikes to 19-21 batters while pounding the zone at a 71 percent clip. His only two mistakes resulted in solo homers by Carlos Gonzalez in the fourth inning and Charlie Blackmon in the sixth, costing him a chance at a win as he exited a tie game after retiring the side. Weaver wasn't convincing in his first start when he gave up four runs to the Dodgers over five innings, but a quality start at Coors Field indicates that he still has something left in the tank. He will look to build on this solid effort Monday against the Braves.

Weaver will start San Diego's fourth game of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier, the Padres mistakenly reported that Weaver would start their third game of the season. Although Weaver will still face the Dodgers when he makes his season debut, it will be one day later than was initially indicated.

Weaver will start the third game of the season, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Dennis Lin reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will take the hill on Apr. 5 in Dodger Stadium despite logging just 5.1 innings to date this spring and having dealt with dead arm in his last start on Mar. 22. Weaver should be avoided in almost all formats, and projects to be one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball this season.

Weaver said he's "dealing with a little dead arm," but doesn't expect it to impact his status for the opening series, A.J. Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Weaver has apparently had the same issue multiple times before, so it doesn't seem like it's anything overly serious. Assuming it's the same issue he's dealt with in the past, it doesn't appear that he's in jeopardy of missing his first start of the season, but it's something we'll monitor.

Weaver is a possibility to make the Padres' Opening Day start, according to manager Andy Green, A.J. Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Of course, Green added Jhoulys Chacin, Clayton Richard and "others" to the mix, per Cassavell, so this situation remains messy. Weaver could benefit from a move to the National League, yet he's been so hittable the last few years that it may not matter. No Padres starting pitcher stands out as a must-draft option in mixed leagues, though NL-only drafters can weigh in on a piece of the rotation with few strings attached.
