Weaver (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Wednesday and said afterward that he felt "great," Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander received a platelet-rich-plasma injection for the hamstring strain shortly after landing on the injured list June 3, and Wednesday marked the second bullpen session of his rehab program. Weaver was given an initial recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, and a return at the start of that window seems plausible given his current trajectory.

Weaver received a PRP injection in his left hamstring and has resumed a throwing program, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday and was given a 4-to-6 week return timeline. However, he's already back to throwing and received a PRP injection, which is encouraging for his recovery.

The Yankees placed Weaver on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver suffered the injury while warming up during Sunday's game against the Dodgers and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks. Devin Williams will slide back into the closer role for the Yankees while Weaver is shelved.

Weaver (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list and could miss the next 4-to-6 weeks, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver suffered the injury while warming up for Sunday's matchup against the Dodgers, and the injury appears to be more significant than initially thought after reviewing his MRI results. The team plans to disclose an official timetable for the closer's return Tuesday, per Passan. Weaver's absence will presumably mean more save opportunities for Devin Williams, who picked up his last save May 27 despite surrendering two runs on three hits against the Angels.

Weaver suffered hamstring discomfort while warming up to potentially enter Sunday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver was gearing up for a save chance with the Yankees entering the top of the ninth inning up 6-3, but he ultimately never entered the contest after New York expanded its lead to 7-3 before the bottom of the frame. The Yankees went with Tim Hill in the bottom of the ninth, which wasn't overly surprising because it was no longer a save opportunity. It is now understood that Weaver "felt something" in his hamstring while stretching in the bullpen according to manager Aaron Boone, which he said is the reason why Hill entered the game instead of Weaver. It's unclear what exactly the right-hander is dealing with, but more information on his status will likely come in the near future. If he is forced to miss any action moving forward, former closer Devin Williams would likely be the top candidate to assume the ninth-inning role.

Weaver picked up the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over Colorado, allowing one run on three hits with no strikeouts over one inning.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees had a two-run lead entering the bottom of the ninth, but Weaver nearly didn't make it out of the frame with the save. He allowed a solo homer to Mickey Moniak to begin the inning and had runners on first and second with one out before retiring Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman to end the game. Weaver hadn't allowed an earned run in his previous eight appearances, and he's now converted seven of his eight save chances.

Weaver struck out one batter and didn't allow a baserunner in the ninth inning to pick up the save Thursday during a 1-0 victory over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver has been lights out through his first 21 appearances this season, surrendering just one run across 22.2 innings. That continued Thursday as the 31-year-old needed only 10 pitches to notch his seventh save of the season in eight tries. Weaver worked in all three games of the series versus Texas, which could make him unavailable for the first game of the Rockies series Friday.

Weaver earned the save in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers after recording the final out of the ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees entered the ninth inning up 5-0, but Weaver was brought in to close things out after Ian Hamilton gave up a two-run home run to Jonah Heim. Weaver was able to make quick work of Josh Smith, needing just two pitches to record the final out and earn the save. It's the second outing in a row in which Weaver has tallied a one-out save, and he is up to six saves on the season with a 0.44 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 20.2 innings.

Weaver came away with the save in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mets, retiring the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver was brought in during the ninth inning after Yerry De Los Santos yielded an RBI double to Francisco Lindor. With runners on second and third, Weaver needed only two pitches to finish things off by getting Juan Soto to fly out to center field. It was Weaver's fifth save of the campaign, and he has a 0.44 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 20.1 innings this season.

Weaver struck out three in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver has bounced back from his blown save May 5 versus the Padres with 4.2 scoreless innings over his last three appearances. This was his first save in that span, as the Yankees hadn't produced a save situation in over a week. The right-hander continues to post elite numbers with a 0.45 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 20 innings while adding four saves and six holds this season. Weaver is capable of working multiple innings, so he may not get every save chance, but he's answered the call nearly every time he's taken the mound this season.
