Aaron Boone insists Devin Williams is still 'very close' after latest Yankees implosion
Briefly

Aaron Boone, the Yankees manager, has repeatedly defended Devin Williams, who has struggled this season with a 10.03 ERA. After another poor outing, Boone persists that Williams is still an elite pitcher capable of rebounding. Boone believes that improved control will help Williams regain his former effectiveness. Williams, recently removed from the closer role, previously showed promise with several scoreless outings, reminiscent of the All-Star pitcher he once was. Boone remains optimistic about Williams' potential resurgence in the Yankee's bullpen.
Boone emphasized that Williams remains an elite pitcher, stating, 'This is still an elite [pitcher], and all the stuff there is saying that.'
Boone noted, 'Controlling counts a little bit better' will help Williams recover his form and return as the Yankees' closer.
