Weaver will do something today that he hasn't done in four seasons -- start a game for the Dodgers.
But there's a potential obstacle.
Weaver signed with the Dodgers with the intention of being a long reliever. Of the four games he pitched in triple-A Albuquerque, three were in relief. And he was called up to the majors as a long reliever.
"It was definitely going to happen at some point," Weaver said, shrugging. "Better sooner than later."
Weaver, 32, pitched four scoreless innings on Thursday in relief of McDonald.
He says he thinks he can squeeze out another two innings.
Weaver is 12-13 with a 3.77 earned-run average in 36 career games, including 35 starts, at Dodger Stadium.
