Set-up man Luke Weaver, who blossomed after moving into the closer role last fall in place of Clay Holmes, will “get a lot of” save opportunities moving forward, Boone said. The manager is also comfortable with using Weaver in a big spot earlier in the game, using other relievers in a save spot when necessary.

Right-hander Devin Williams is out as the Yankees closer "for now," manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday. The job belongs to Luke Weaver, who had the role during the final two months of the season, including the postseason.

Devin Williams' continued struggles in the ninth inning prompted Yankees manager Aaron Boone to say "we'll see" when asked if the team would consider making a switch at closer.
