In the majors this year, Weissert has posted an underwhelming 5.56 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts over 11.1 innings of work. In 12 relief appearances, he holds a 3-0 record. 

The twenty-seven-year-old has been phenomenal in the minors on the other hand, registering a stellar 1.69 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts across 48 innings. In 42 relief appearances, he's converted 18 saves and has a 2-1 record. 

Perhaps, Weissert can secure himself a spot on the Yankees' postseason roster.
