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. "For right now, I'm going to take him out of that role," said Boone ( via The Athletic ).

Devin Williams lost his job as Yankees closer after stumbling repeatedly during his first 10 games with New York.

The Yankees have pulled the plug Devin Williams closing games for them one month into his first season with the team, which Deesha Thosar believes is a good as he holds an 11.25 ERA through 10 appearances.
