The New York Yankees will now have to face a new reality without Luke Weaver, as a recent report confirmed that the reliever will miss at least a month due to a hamstring injury.

“New York Yankees closer Luke Weaver is expected to be placed on the injured list after injuring his hamstring while warming up Sunday night, sources tell ESPN. Weaver underwent an MRI and could miss four to six weeks, though the official timetable will be determined Tuesday,” Jeff Passan reported on X.

Despite the lack of an official announcement from the Yankees, Passan’s sources confirm that Weaver will likely be unavailable for at least the entire month of June when the team will play series against Red Sox, Royals, Guardians, Angels, Orioles, among others.
