Yankees playing it coy with Luke Weaver’s return timeline
NY Post
The back of the bullpen has been shuffled for at least a few weeks and likely longer.
The Yankees officially shifted Luke Weaver to the 15-day injured list for a hamstring strain that will require longer than those 15 days.
Devin Williams, who lost the closing job to Weaver before finding himself again as a setup man, returned to his ninth-inning duties and survived a scare in Tuesday’s 3-2 win over the Guardians in The Bronx.
The Yankees and Weaver declined to put a timetable on his return and declined to reveal the severity of the strain to his left hamstring, which he felt “grab” while warming up Sunday at Dodger Stadium.
ESPN originally reported a 4-6 week absence, a timeline that Weaver acknowledged is “floating out there” and did not want to confirm or deny.
“We’ll see,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Hopefully something that over the long haul of the season serves him and us well, just preserving him a little bit and making him hopefully all the more better for us when he comes back.”
