Ja son Domnguez did not sound too concerned about his Sunday night before the Yankees flew home. That Luke Weaver was unavailable because he was still getting treatment on it was more concerning. The Yankees arrived back in New York early Monday morning for a day off after their 6-3 West Coast trip, but were left holding their breath to see how Domnguez and Weaver felt and what potential tests revealed a day after each was injured in . Luke Weaver throws a pitch during the Yankees game against the Dodgers on May 31. Getty Images Weaver had already finished warming up to pitch the bottom of the ninth when he was stretching and felt something in the middle of his hammy, said manager Aaron Boone, who was hoping its not too serious. The reliever is off to a dominant start this season, posting a 1.05 ERA with eight saves and 24 strikeouts in 25 / innings. If Weaver does require a stint on the injured list, it could thrust Devin Williams back into the closers role after Boone removed him from it in late April.

His only save opportunity in that stretch came last week against the Angels, when Weaver was unavailable after pitching on back-to-back days, Mark Belanger Jersey and Williams gave up a pair of runs before finishing off the 3-2 win. Devin Williams throws a pitch during the Yankees game against the Rockies on May 25. AP Williams pitched the eighth inning Sunday in what was then a 6-3 game and was sharp, striking out Hyesong Kim and Teoscar Hernndez around Shohei Ohtanis groundout.

It felt like a similar edge, I just think hes commanding the ball and now into the rhythm and flow of the season and has gotten into a good groove. The Yankees are also expected to get Fernando Cruz back in the bullpen on Tuesday, when he is first eligible to come back from the injured list for shoulder inflammation, which will give them another late-inning weapon that they mi sed over the past two weeks. Mark Leiter Jr. has been throwing the ball well, too, which along with Jonathan Loisiga gives Boone multiple options to navigate the late innings based on matchups.

Yerry De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A to make room, but he could return to the active roster Tuesday rather than waiting the requisite 15 days if he is replacing an injured player like Weaver. Cruz could then take Carrascos spot in that scenario. Rich Dauer Jersey
