Yankees Lose Star Pitcher for Summer Months After Injury Diagnosis
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When the New York Yankees acquired former Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams in the offseason, it was evident last season's closer Luke Weaver would be moved back to the setup role, a place he'd been in previous seasons. Due to Williams' struggles in the early part of the season, Weaver was moved back to the closer role and excelled. Williams will get a second opportunity in the closer role as Weaver is headed to the injured list with an apparent hamstring injury. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 31: Luke Weaver #30 of the New York Yankees pitches during an 18-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on May 31, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 31: Luke Weaver #30 of the New York Yankees pitches during an 18-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on May 31, 2025 in Los Angeles, MLB insider Jeff Passan reported late Monday night that Weaver would be headed to the injured list and expected to miss 4-6 weeks because of a hamstring injury. Passan reported the injury was suffered Sunday night when Weaver was warming up to enter New York's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Weaver has been phenomenal this season for the Yankees, as he's posted a 1.05 ERA, eight saves and 24 strikeouts in 24 appearances and 25 2/3 innings. He's allowed just three runs all year and was well on track to represent New York in this season's All-Star Game. Because of Weaver's injury, Williams will be placed back in the closer role and will look to turn his season around. He currently has a 6.23 ERA and has allowed 15 runs in 21 2/3 innings. Williams was one of the best closers in the league during his time in Milwaukee, as shown by his career 1.83 ERA and 68 saves with the Brewers. New York will need Williams to step up and perform at the level he is capable in hopes of staying atop the AL East and awaiting the return of Weaver for a postseason push in September and October.

Yankees bring two intriguing pitching prospects one step closer to majors
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free Yankees promotions have brought two intriguing starting pitchers closer to the majors. The Yankees have bumped up Cam Schlittler and Carlos Lagrange one level, Schlittler rising to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Lagrange to Double-A Somerset. Schlittler is now one step away from The Bronx after a strong 2024, a nice showing in major league spring training and excellent work with Somerset this season. In 10 games with the Double-A club, the 6-foot-6 righty pitched to a 2.38 ERA while striking out 64 in 53 innings. Cam Schlittler Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Carlos Lagrange MLB Photos via Getty Images The No. 10 prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline, led the system in strikeouts (154) last year and is looking like a realistic option to debut this year if a need arises. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS The big-league Yankees have navigated around several injuries already and expect Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman to return in the coming weeks. Lagrange, a 6-foot-7 righty fireballer, probably is not an option for this year but is providing plenty of hope for the future. The 22-year-old is the first to be promoted from a loaded rotation at High-A Hudson Valley after posting a 4.10 ERA in eight starts in which he struck out 64 and walked 12 in 41 ⅔ innings.
