The New York Yankees made a major decision regarding closer Devin Williams. Aaron Boone revealed that Luke Weaver would take over the closer role for Williams as the offseason acquisition started with an 11.25 ERA and 2.375 WHIP through his first 8.0 innings.

Volpe was the Yankees’ No. 1 draft pick six years ago. Their estimation of him then, as now, is that no single slump will change their projection for a solid future. Besides, as Boone pointed out, those slump numbers are exaggerated by the calendar. It’s only April. This is when stats are slaves to small sample sizes.
