The New York Yankees plan to remove Devin Williams from his role as the team's closer and instead turn to Luke Weaver, manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday, per ESPN's Jorge Castillo. Boone said Williams will not be the team's closer "for right now," leaving the door open for his return to the role eventually.

Devin Williams has been removed as the Yankees closer, Aaron Boone announced Sunday morning. Luke Weaver will get the majority of the save opportunities, but Boone noted that he has the option to use other relievers in that role depending on game situations.

The New York Yankees have taken Devin Williams out of the ninth inning. Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Williams has been removed as closer following his latest poor showing in which he gave up three earned runs Friday.
