Overview

• Luke Weaver injured his hamstring while warming up in the bullpen during Sunday night’s game against the Dodgers and felt the strain when stretching, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
• An MRI on Monday confirmed a hamstring strain and ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports Weaver is likely to be placed on the injured list, with a four-to-six-week recovery projected pending an official announcement.
• Weaver has been outstanding since taking over as closer in late April, posting a 1.05 ERA and eight saves over 25 2/3 innings this season.
• Two-time National League Reliever of the Year Devin Williams, who has allowed just two runs in his last 11 outings and posted scoreless appearances in 13 of his last 15 games, is expected to reassume ninth-inning responsibilities.
• The Yankees will lean on their relief corps, including Fernando Cruz and Tim Hill, to fill innings and preserve bullpen depth while Weaver is sidelined.
