Yankees closer Luke Weaver is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list following a hamstring injury sustained during warm-ups. Expected to miss four to six weeks, Weaver has been a standout performer with a 2.89 ERA and impressive strikeout rate. After initially being pushed back to a setup role, he reclaimed the closer position but now the Yankees must strategize for the ninth inning in his absence, possibly turning back to Devin Williams or other available options.
Weaver's hamstring injury is expected to sideline him for 4-6 weeks, forcing the Yankees to rethink their closer strategy in his absence.
Despite a recent six-point drop in strikeout rate, Weaver has posted a remarkable 2.89 ERA, underlining his efficiency as New York's closer.
