He is currently 1-2 with a 3.18 ERA in five games this season.
Before the Yankees, the 26-year-old had stints playing for the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres.
Over 75 career games, Weathers is 13-25 with a 4.77 ERA.
Greg Joyce of The New York Post wrote: “Yankees roster move: Angel Chivilli goes on the IL with shoulder discomfort, meaning Jake Bird sticks around with Ryan Weathers coming off the paternity list to start tonight.”
Meanwhile, Chivilli is also in his first season in New York.
He has a 3.86 ERA in two games.
Before the Yankees, the 23-year-old spent two seasons with the Colorado Rockies.
