APRIL 27, 2025 • MLB.COM

Demoted from closer role Manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Williams has been removed from the closer role "for right now," Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Impact The writing was on the wall after Williams blew his first save of the season Saturday against Toronto, which was the second straight appearance in which he allowed three earned runs. The right-hander has yet to truly look like himself in 10 outings with the Yankees with an 11.25 ERA and 8:7 K:BB across eight innings. New York presumably plans to return Williams to the closer job at some point this year, but he'll need to straighten the ship in a lesser role before getting that opportunity. Luke Weaver, who took over as the Yankees' closer down the stretch last season, has yet to allow a run through 11 outings this year and should get the bulk of the save chances moving forward.

Temporary role change likely The Yankees appear to be making a temporary change at closer after Williams squandered a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning Friday against Toronto, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports. "We'll...

Impact While Friday's blown save was Williams' first of the season, he has now allowed six earned runs in his last two appearances and sits with an 11.25 ERA through his first 10 appearances in pinstripes. Boone stopped short of announcing a role change, but Martino says there is virtually no way Boone would have answered the questions the way he did "if he hadn't already decided to give Williams a break from save situations." Luke Weaver took well to the ninth-inning role down the stretch last season and has pitched brilliantly so far in 2025, making him the clear-cut favorite for saves while Williams tries to figure things out in lower-leverage spots.

Fans rip Aaron Boone for positive take on Devin Williams in Yankees' 4-2 loss vs. Blue Jays New York Yankees closer Devin Williams is blowing up games down the stretch, and the fans are getting frustrated.

APRIL 26, 2025 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

Blows save opportunity Williams (0-2) took the loss after blowing his save Friday against the Blue Jays after giving up three runs on two hits in the ninth inning. He did not record an out.

Impact Williams was brought in for the ninth inning to protect a 2-1 lead. After giving up a single and hitting Andres Gimenez with a pitch, Williams yielded the Yankees' lead after Alejandro Kirk doubled to center field. Williams was tagged for a third run after being lifted, and he came away with the loss as the Yankees batters couldn't come through in the bottom of the frame. Friday was Williams' first blown save opportunity and second game in a row (third time of the season) that he gave up three earned runs. He has an 11.25 ERA and 2.38 WHIP over eight innings, and more outings like Friday could lead to a change in who takes on closing duties out of the Yankees' bullpen.
