Yankees Don't Have Plans to Put Devin Williams Back in Closer's Role
Devin Williams struck out two during a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's win over the Texas Rangers and has now recorded ix straight outings without allowing an earned run. Nine of those 10 outings have come since he was removed as the team's closer, and his ERA on the year is now down to 6.88. Before being demoted from the closer's role, Williams had an ERA of 11.25 with four saves and a blown save in his first 10 games in New York. Despite Williams' recent turnaround, manager Aaron Boone said "no plans right now" when asked if Williams could take the closing gig back from Luke Weaver. Williams entered 2025 with a 1.83 ERA in his career with 65 saves in his last three seasons with the Brewers. Weaver has a 0.44 ERA and six saves this year, so Boone has no real incentive to change things up as they currently are.
