Devin Williams has shown improvement since being removed from the closer role, recording three scoreless innings across three appearances. Yankees manager Aaron Boone is optimistic about Williams' recent performances, noting his effectiveness in high-leverage situations. Boone believes that Williams has regained his strike zone consistency, a crucial factor for success in late-inning scenarios. Meanwhile, Luke Weaver also excelled, securing a save in Friday's win against the Rays.

Cody Bellinger has taken on the leadoff role for the Yankees, marking his first start in that position this season, while DJ LeMahieu is on the road to recovery after resuming his rehab assignment.
