New York Yankees closer Luke Weaver is expected to be out for up to six weeks after injuring his hamstring before Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Weaver has been one of the standout players for the Yankees this season, taking over from struggling closer Devin Williams for the American League East leaders.
He has eight saves to his name so far this season with an ERA of 1.05. The extent of his injury was first reported by ESPN.
Williams, traded for in the offseason from the Milwaukee Brewers, will now be expected to return to the spot he was signed for to make his own.
