New York Yankees closer Luke Weaver was warming up in the bullpen during the top of the ninth inning of Sunday night's 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, seemingly available to come in to shut the door on the defending champs despite the healthy four-run lead.

And then, out of nowhere, he wasn't.

After a few warmup tosses, the righty felt something in his hamstring while stretching, and his night was over before it even began. Instead, manager Aaron Boone turned to Tim Hill to close the door on the Dodgers, which helped the Yankees avoid the sweep.

"We had to make a switch on the fly there," Boone said. "We're hoping [Weaver's hamstring] is not too serious, but he felt it when he was stretching. It was enough to take him out. I was going to go with him four runs [up] there."
