With Dinelson Lamet trending toward longer outings, the Padres are sending Ryan Weathers down to Triple-A, two sources with knowledge of the team’s plan said.
The Padres feel the 21-year-old Weathers, who has been in the majors since opening day working both as a starter and reliever, will benefit from being a regular starter in the minor leagues.
Weathers pitched in relief Monday night, allowing a run in three innings.
His previous five appearances had been as a starter.
The left-hander has a 2.47 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 47 1/3 innings. That includes a 2.78 ERA in 32 1/3 innings in his eight starts.
Lamet appearing to have reached a point where he can effectively go five or more innings allowed the Padres to prioritize Weathers’ development, as they feel their second-ranked pitching prospect is better served for the long term getting consistent work as a starter.
Weathers could return to the majors this summer to help in the bullpen or as part of the rotation if needed.
