New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone still hasn’t spoken with struggling closer Devin Williams about a possible role change.<\/p>\n
\n
Boone met with reporters Saturday morning despite inclement weather postponing the Yankees’ game with the Toronto Blue Jays. The veteran skipper admitted he hasn’t seen Williams yet following the All-Star closer’s blown save Friday night.<\/p>\n
Boone previously acknowledged he’s open to potentially giving fan-favorite reliever Luke Weaver more ninth-inning opportunities. Williams allowed three runs in Friday’s 4-2 loss.<\/p>\n
“We’ll try to do what’s best for the team and Devin,” Boone said, according to the New York Post. “Knowing that, let’s get through this bump in the road, and [we’re] still expecting great things.”<\/p>\n
Both the fact that Boone and Williams still haven’t spoken and that Boone candidly admitted it is astonishing. Williams, a two-time All-Star with the Milwaukee Brewers, already owns an 11.25 ERA and -0.8 bWAR over eight innings.<\/p>\n
Yankees fans chanted, “We Want Weaver,” during Williams’ latest dreadful outing. Interestingly, Williams has been worse in non-save situations (six earned runs and five walks over four innings) than in save situations (four earned runs and only two walks in four innings).<\/p>\n
Boone wants to stay optimistic, especially given Williams’ track record in Milwaukee. The 2013 second-round pick tallied 9.0 bWAR and a sterling 1.70 ERA from 2020-24.<\/p>\n
“He hasn’t gotten [swings and misses],” Boone said. “He’s been behind in the count a little bit.<\/p>\n
“Once he starts flipping that and starts getting some count leverage, I expect him to go back to being the dominant closer he’s been,” Boone added.<\/p>\n
