The news is an obvious blow to the Yankees, who hold a 5.5-game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in the AL East at 36-22. Weaver, 31, is in the midst of the best season of his career.
Weaver has made 24 appearances for the Yankees this season, posting a 1.05 ERA and 0.701 WHIP with 24 strikeouts and seven walks in 25 2/3 innings pitched. He has eight saves and has taken over New York’s closing role since the Yankees demoted a struggling Devin Williams from the job.
