Luke Weaver Could Skip Rehab Assignment
Luke Weaver (hamstring) threw a live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, and manager Aaron Boone said it's possible that Weaver could skip a minor-league rehab assignment. Weaver strained his left hamstring on June 3 and was given a timetable of four to six weeks, but he has made excellent progress and could rejoin the big-league squad this weekend. The 31-year-old threw upwards of 20 pitches on Tuesday over two innings and said he "felt great." He said he hasn't felt anything in his hamstring since a day or two after he hurt it while stretching. Weaver was the Yankees' closer at the time of his injury and had a 1.05 ERA and eight saves in 25 2/3 innings. However, Devin Williams has looked much better since Weaver's injury and hasn't blown a save since Weaver went on the IL.
