The New York Yankees have taken Devin Williams out of the ninth inning. Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Williams has been removed as closer following his latest poor showing in which he gave up three earned runs Friday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Sunday morning that the team is moving reliever Devin Williams out of the closer role “for now.”

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.
