The New York Yankees made a major decision regarding closer Devin Williams. Aaron Boone revealed that Luke Weaver would take over the closer role for Williams as the offseason acquisition started with an 11.25 ERA and 2.375 WHIP through his first 8.0 innings.

Devin Williams isn’t the New York Yankees ’ closer anymore. But that just means the heavy lifting begins for Williams, pitching coach Matt Blake and manager Aaron Boone. They have to balance working on rebuilding him and his confidence with using him enough to justify carrying him on the roster.
