The New York Yankees have removed Devin Williams from his role as closer after a difficult start to the 2025 season, in which he has posted an 11.25 ERA and blown multiple saves. Manager Aaron Boone announced that right-handed reliever Luke Weaver will take over the closing duties, bringing experience and confidence from a strong performance last season. Williams, who previously excelled as a relief pitcher, acknowledged the decision as deserved given his struggles.
