Yankees' closer Devin Williams is under scrutiny as his struggles this season raise questions about his future role. His performance has faltered significantly with 12 hits and 10 earned runs over just 8 innings pitched, leading to a call for Luke Weaver to take over the closer position. Weaver's impressive fastball and off-speed pitches put him in the top 7% of MLB, making him a strong candidate for the role. Williams' mental state appears to be affecting his performance, as his confidence dwindles under the pressure of playing in a high-stakes environment like Yankee Stadium.

Fans have begun chanting for Weaver's inclusion in the closing role, and many analysts believe that removing Williams from the closer's spot could allow him to regain his form in middle relief. With ample time remaining in the season, this change might be crucial for the Yankees as they look to improve their dismal offense and provide better support for their pitchers.

Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves has stirred up controversy with a recent tweet that seemed to highlight a double standard in how the team treats players who fail to hustle. Following an incident involving teammate Jared Kelenic, who admired a hit and was subsequently thrown out at second base, Braves manager Brian Snitker downplayed the situation. Acuña, who was watching the game while rehabbing, felt the need to comment, suggesting that had he made the same mistake, he would have faced harsher consequences.

This situation has raised eyebrows in the Braves' clubhouse, as Acuña's previous experiences with disciplinary actions that disproportionately affected Latino players have come to light. The dialogue highlights the need for consistency in managerial decisions to maintain team morale and trust.
