Weber, 33, played the last four seasons at the Triple-A level, hitting .257 with 16 RBI in and one homer in 68 games between Toledo (Detroit Tigers affiliate) and Scranton-Wilkes Barre (New York Yankees affiliate).

A product of Lakewood, Cali., Weber had two and a half productive seasons in the Tampa Bay Rays organization from 2007-2009 with Triple-A Durham.

“You don’t find them better than Jon Weber this time of year,” Forney said.

He also said the team plans to give Wyatt “plenty of time” to heal.
