Williams was demoted after blowing a save on Friday night with a packed Yankee Stadium chanting that they wanted Luke Weaver to close. Williams' body language was awful and his pitches lacked confidence. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said this was a temporary change.

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.

It was only one outing, but Devin Williams’ first time on the mound not as Yankees closer — at least for now — was a step in the right direction.
