NEW YORK — Ryan Weathers left Saturday afternoon’s game with left forearm discomfort in what could be another blow to the Yankees’ rotation.

The left-hander was set to undergo imaging later Saturday, the Yankees announced.

Weathers appeared uncomfortable after he threw a sweeper to Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw with one out in the fourth inning — his 72nd pitch of the afternoon.

A trainer visit followed, and Weathers did not attempt any warm-up pitches before leaving the field.

Acquired in the offseason in a trade with the Miami Marlins, the 26-year-old Weathers is in the midst of a career-best season, boasting a 3.60 ERA in 25 starts.

He’s been particularly sharp of late, entering Saturday with a 0.69 ERA over his previous four starts, which spanned 26 innings.

Weathers has thrown a career-high 137 1/3 innings this year, more than tripling last year’s total of 38 1/3, when forearm and lat injuries limited him to only eight starts.

Earlier in the week, left-hander Max Fried landed on the injured list with a left elbow bone bruise, the same issue that sidelined him for more than two months this season.

Fried and the Yankees have said this instance is less severe than the last, and that it’s possible he could return after a minimum stint on the 15-day IL.
