The article covers the concerns surrounding Yankees closer Devin Williams after a rocky start in his first month with the team. Manager Aaron Boone expresses his belief in Williams' abilities, stating he physically has what it takes to return to elite form. However, Williams has struggled significantly, exemplified by a poor outing against the Blue Jays, leaving him with an 11.25 ERA and one blown save. The pressure is mounting as the crowd expressed dissatisfaction, calling for his replacement, Luke Weaver.
"I feel like physically he's got all the stuff to still be an elite closer," Boone said shortly after the Yankees postponed Saturday's game against the Blue Jays due to inclement weather.
"It's getting pretty frustrating. Nothing's working right now," said Williams, who is 0-2 with an 11.25 ERA, a 2.38 WHIP, a .343 opponents' batting average and one blown save in five appearances.
