The New York Yankees are expected to be without closer Luke Weaver for at least a month after he injured his hamstring while warming up during Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.ESPN reports Weaver will be put on the injured list Tuesday and miss 4-6 weeks, which will put the Yankees' closer situation in flux once again.Weaver, who served as the Yankees closer last year during their run to the World Series, began this season as a setup man after the team acquired two-time All-Star Devin Williams in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers.However, Williams struggled mightily in his introduction to New York − posting an 11.25 ERA in his first 10 appearances − and Weaver reclaimed closing duties.Weaver sports an impressive 1.05 ERA in 24 appearances this season with one win and eight saves.Williams has pitched better lately (2-0, 1 save, 1.80 ERA in his last 11 appearances) and should return to the closer's role while Weaver is out.
