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, who has stumbled to start the season, has been ousted as closer by Yankees manager Aaron Boone, with Luke Weaver set to get save opportunities.

Weaver has delivered 13 scoreless innings with just three hits allowed and 11 strikeouts. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday morning before a doubleheader with the Blue Jays at the Stadium that he would use 'likely' Weaver and others as the closer while Williams works to straighten himself out.
