St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver threw seven strong innings on Thursday, earning a quality start but taking the loss. Weaver allowed just one run on four hits and a walk, striking out six. Weaver's record evened at 3-3, and he lowered his ERA to 4.37. He's been a bit up and down this season, but he has the potential to be a strong mixed league starter.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver struggled with his command on Tuesday, allowing four runs on two hits and six walks while striking out four. He was through the first three innings with just one hit and one run allowed, but then the fifth inning happened, which featured two walks ahead of a Yoenis Cespedes blast over the fence. In total, Weaver threw just 50 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Weaver will return to the mound on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and will look for better results.

The St. Louis Cardinals will have Luke Weaver make the start on Tuesday in place of Adam Wainwright (elbow). Wainwright was placed on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation but isn't expected to miss more than a start or two. Some thought rookie Jack Flaherty would come up to make the start, but it seems like the Cardinals will use off days to keep their rotation the same, simply skipping Wainwright's start.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver was torched by the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, allowing six runs on nine hits and a walk in just four innings. Coming into the game, Weaver had only given up four runs total in 17 1/3 innings of work, so Thursday was by far his worst start of the season so far. He should bounce back in his next outing and remains an exciting young fantasy starter.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver tossed 6 1/3 innings on Sunday, striking out seven while allowing just three hits and a walk. The bullpen wasn't able to hold the lead, giving Weaver a no-decision despite the strong effort. Through his first two starts of the season, Weaver has been excellent, posting a 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 10/4 K/BB ratio over 11 1/3 innings. He'll take the mound again on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver picked up a win on Sunday, tossing five innings while allowing just one run, but eight base runners. He wasn't great on the afternoon, but he was good enough to pitch his way out of trouble more than once. He's likely to make better starts going forward and is worth starting in most formats as long as he's in the rotation.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver had an excellent spring, posting a 0.55 ERA in Grapefruit League play. He struck out 19 in 16 1/3 innings, and posted a 0.67 WHIP. The young righty will start the third game of the season for the Cardinals and is a prime breakout candidate this season. He comes with some risk as do all young starting pitchers, but the upside is there for Weaver to be a difference maker in fantasy leagues this season.

Weaver's (2-0) spring ERA is down to 0.68 following a Grapefruit League outing Saturday against the Braves in which he struck out six over four scoreless innings while allowing one hit and three walks.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver tossed four no-hit innings in his Grapefruit League start on Sunday. Facing a Nationals lineup that included several regulars, Weaver was excellent. He struck out four in his four innings and has now allowed just one run through his nine Grapefruit League innings. He still seems to be flying a bit under the radar in some drafts and could be poised for a breakout season. He should be owned in all formats.

Weaver is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB over five innings across his first two spring appearances.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver has "bulked up" by adding about 15 pounds this offseason. Weaver is expected to take on a much larger role in the St. Louis starting rotation this season, so he made a plan to bulk up in order to keep him from wearing down later in the season. The young righty comes with some risk, but has nice upside in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Luke Weaver was excellent on Thursday, allowing only an unearned run in six innings of work.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Luke Weaver was excellent again on Sunday, tossing seven innings of two-run ball. He allowed just four hits and two walks while striking out nine. Weaver was rewarded with his fourth win, moving his record to 4-1. His ERA is a strong 2.50 and he's striking batters out at an 11.25 K/9 rate. He's unfortunately exceeded the number of innings pitched to be considered a rookie next year, otherwise he'd be the early favorite for 2018 rookie of the year. Either way, he's a strong fantasy starter that should be owned in most formats.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Luke Weaver picked up his third win of the season, striking out 10 while allowing two runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. Weaver only issued one walk, but he needed 111 pitches to record his 17 outs, so he was unable to stay in long enough to earn a quality start. Still, his fantasy owners were certainly happy with the 10 strikeouts. Weaver will probably have some ups and downs, but he has nice upside and should be owned in most formats.

Weaver (3-1) racked up 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings against Milwaukee on Wednesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk to collect the win.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Luke Weaver was excellent on Wednesday tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and one walk. Weaver struck out 10 while throwing 99 pitches, 69 for strikes. It was a nice outing for the rookie, who is pitching in Adam Wainwright's rotation spot and may be there for a while. Weaver has two wins and a 2.31 ERA in limited work this season, but he's an enticing mixed league option who can likely be scooped right off the waiver wire.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie pitcher Luke Weaver was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. He'll take the roster spot of injured closer Trevor Rosenthal. Weaver will likely be used in middle relief, although no official announcement has been made just yet. In 14 1/3 major league innings pitched earlier this season (two starts and two relief appearances), Weaver has a 3.77 ERA and 15 strikeouts. He has nice upside in dynasty leagues, but won't be worth owning in even the deepest redraft leagues unless he ends up back in the starting rotation.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (back) will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday, giving Luke Weaver another chance to get a start at the big league level. Wainwright was originally expected to be ready to start on Wednesday, but the Cardinals are being careful with their (almost) 36-year-old righty. Wainwright threw off flat ground successfully today, but was deemed not quite ready for tomorrow's start. Barring any further setbacks, he should be ready to go for the next time his rotation turn comes up, which would be a mathcup against the Reds.

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Luke Weaver struggled in his first start of the season on Thursday, taking the loss. He tossed five innings, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks. He did strike out five, and all four runs he allowed came on a fourth-inning grand slam off the bat of J.D. Martinez. Weaver still has some nice long term upside, but he may only be up during Adam Wainwright's expected short DL stint. He's worth a stream if he gets another start, but is not a must-own at this point.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver will get the nod for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Weaver was called up to take the injured Adam Wainwright's spot in the rotation. It's unclear how long he'll stay up, since Wainwright isn't expected to miss much time. Weaver struggled to a 5.70 ERA in 36 1/3 innings of work at the big league level last season, but he'd put together a strong 1.91 ERA in 66 innings at Triple-A this season. He's worth picking up for any fantasy teams looking for a spot start or perhaps a few starts until Wainwright returns.

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Luke Weaver has been scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday night at Triple-A Memphis. This change comes moments after the Cardinals announced that Adam Wainwright had been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a back injury. Weaver could fill Wainwright's spot in the rotation and may carry some fantasy streaming appeal as a former first-round pick with a shiny 1.81 ERA and 8.9 K/9 in 51 career minor league starts. He has thrown three innings of relief this season and had nine games (eight starts) with the Cardinals last season, posting a 5.70 ERA
