Luke Weaver Throws Live Batting Practice Session
Luke Weaver (hamstring) threw a live batting practice session for the first time on Tuesday since injuring his hamstring a few weeks ago, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Weaver felt "great" and hasn't felt anything in his hamstring injury since a day or two after he hurt it. The 31-year-old veteran threw over 20 pitches over two innings on Tuesday. He was given a timetable of four to six weeks when he was put on the 15-day injured list, but it sounds like Weaver could return sooner than later. At the time of his injury, he was serving as the team's closer and had been outstanding with eight saves, a 1.05 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings pitched. However, Devin Williams has taken over as the closer with Weaver out and has looked much better after a rough start to his Yankees tenure.
