Fortes' throw hit Weathers on the top of his head and knocked his cap off. Weathers reached for his head as he fell to the mound. He was face down when athletic trainers rushed to tend to him.
Weathers, the son of longtime reliever David Weathers, needed only eight pitches to get out of the first inning. He was taken out after the third for what the Rays called "precautionary reasons." He threw 57 pitches and gave up four runs, three earned, on three hits and a walk. The team said he would undergo further evaluation.
The Marlins won 11-10 in 10 innings.

Baltimore Ravens' Marlon Humphrey Makes Top 10 Position Rankings Ahead of 2025 NFL Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Ravens have been known for their fierce defense, but over the years it's evolved into an frightening matchup for many offenses in the NFL. Advertisement Part of that is due to the secondary. In Pro Football Focus' recent NFL positional rankings, Ravens corner Marlon Humphrey was named in the top 10 at No. 7, overlooking recent injury problems. 7. Marlon Humphrey, Baltimore Ravens "After battling injuries in 2023 and posting a career-low 63.2 PFF coverage grade, Humphrey enjoyed a mostly healthy 2024 season and posted an 81.0 PFF coverage grade, good for the second-best mark of his career. He ranked fourth in PFF advanced coverage grade in 2024, and his 6.4% interceptions-per-target rate was a career high." It's high praise and good company for the eight-year veteran. Advertisement The New York Jets' Sauce Gardner took the top spot again after being No. 1 a season ago too. Humphrey is behind Garder, 2. Pat Surtain of the Denver Broncos, 3. Trent McDuffie of the Kansas City Chiefs, 4. the Chicago Bears' Jaylon Johnson, 5. Derek Stingley Jr. of the Houston Texans and 6. D.J. Reed of the Detroit Lions. As PFF noted, Humphrey posted a good comeback season in 2024 after dealing with injuries and playing just 10 games in 2023. The former Alabama Crimson Tide defender posted a half sack, 67 total tackles with 50 solo and five for loss, four QB hits, six interceptions with a pick-6, two forced fumbles and 15 passes defended across 16 games.
