Yankees' Boone Considers Closer Change Amid Williams' Struggles

News summary

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is considering a change in the team's closer role after Devin Williams suffered another blown save and was booed off the mound during a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Williams, who was acquired to bolster the bullpen, has struggled early in the season, posting an 11.25 ERA and exhibiting diminished velocity and command issues. Boone acknowledged Williams’ past success but stated the team would 'talk through' potential adjustments, emphasizing the need to help Williams regain form. Fans have expressed impatience, chanting for setup man Luke Weaver, who has performed well with a spotless ERA, to take over closing duties. Williams himself admitted, 'nothing's working right now,' while Boone left open the possibility of using him in lower-leverage situations until he improves. The Yankees, despite these bullpen concerns, remain in first place in the American League East.
