Luke Weaver played a crucial role in the Yankees' 5-1 victory over the Angels, entering the game in the ninth inning despite it being a non-save situation. This marked his fifth appearance in seven days, indicating a heavy workload. Manager Aaron Boone opted for Weaver due to his familiarity and reliability, even considering the risk of needing to warm another reliever. Additionally, updates on teammates recovering from injuries included Luis Gil's scheduled bullpen session and Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s potential return to rehab games.
Even in a non-save situation, Aaron Boone called on Weaver to pitch the ninth inning, which was his fifth time pitching in the past seven days.
I felt like with a four-run lead, knowing I might have to get him up if somebody gets on base, I just felt like I had to go to Weave there.
