The New York Yankees made a big splash in the offseason after missing out on the Juan Soto sweepstakes, with the trade for Devin Williams standing out as one of their most significant moves. The 30-year-old right-hander was brought in as the team’s closer following his strong run with the Milwaukee Brewers.

The New York Yankees plan to remove Devin Williams from his role as the team's closer and instead turn to Luke Weaver, manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday, per ESPN's Jorge Castillo. Boone said Williams will not be the team's closer "for right now," leaving the door open for his return to the role eventually.

Devin Williams, who has stumbled to start the season, has been ousted as closer by Yankees manager Aaron Boone, with Luke Weaver set to get save opportunities.
