Ryan Weathers surrendered his 15th home run of the 2026 MLB season Thursday. The New York Yankees left-handed pitcher allowed his nearly 24 hours after reliever Paul Blackburn. Except Weathers gave up his in the most ironic way versus the Chicago White Sox.
YES Yankees reporter Meredith Marakovits provided a dugout report revealing how Weathers is “sick and tired” of putting his team in a hole. Well, Marakovits’ words came seconds after this moment:

Colson Montgomery sent Weathers’ pitch 420 feet toward center field for the first run of the game. Montgomery needed just one pitch to send the baseball flying. Weathers came after him with a 94 miles per hour sinker, but clearly became the wrong pitch against the White Sox slugger.
Weathers managed to redeem himself afterward, though. He forced two ground outs and a fly out to close out the top of the second inning. Manager Aaron Boone chose to stick with his starting pitcher even after the early Chicago rip.
Weathers maintained his momentum after the second inning closeout. He forced a ground out toward his direction that resulted in the tag out at first base and created a fly out at left field. Chase Meidroth emerged as the lone White Sox hitter to blast a single off Weathers. But Weathers struck out Randal Grichuk with an 87 mph slider. Grichuk hit two previous foul balls before the strikeout.
The Loretto, Tennessee native owns a current 2-5 record on the hill this season. He’s fanned 81 batters but has allowed a 4.36 ERA for this season.
