10/04/24	Luke Weaver becomes Yankees closer after getting cut by Reds and Mariners. Luke Weaver walked onto the Wrigley Field mound last month for his big league closing debut and was far from stoic. Come Saturday night, he could be on the mound at a moment once dominated by Mariano Rivera, pitching in pinstripes at an AL Division Series before a rabid crowd counting on him to close out wins that propel the Yankees toward their first World Series title since 2009.

Cut by the Cincinnati Reds and Seattle Mariners last year, Luke Weaver finds himself as the New York Yankees postseason closer. Manager Aaron Boone turned to the right-hander last month after a series of blown saves by two-time All-Star Clay Holmes.

10/02/24	Yankees' Luke Weaver, fired up for 1st postseason, sets record straight on bullpen role. Drafted in the first round by the Cardinals in 2014, one year after St. Louis made its second World Series appearance in a span of three years, Yankees right-hander Luke Weaver was on a postseason pipeline. Back then, he was a top prospect, a starter with immense potential that was poised to be a fixture in the Cardinals' rotation for years to come.

10/01/24	Luke Weaver took long, winding road to become Yankees' closer. The reliever who will be tasked with getting some of the biggest outs of the playoffs for the Yankees was just a waiver claim eating innings last September. By January, he was a $2 million flier re-signed for starting depth and by March, he made the Opening Day roster as a long man. But now in October, Luke Weaver has emerged as the biggest weapon in the Yankees bullpen, one who has effectively taken over the closer's job and will remain there in the postseason, unless they need him with the game on the line before the ninth inning. 3 Luke Weaver works out in preparation for the ALDS, which begins on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.

Turning into a closer and delivering in the biggest moments late in meaningful games? No, not that (but not that either). When the Yankees claimed the then-starter off the waiver wire last year, they had no idea about the character that is Luke Weaver. “Nothing I would have ever expected,” said Tommy Kahnle, the resident character of the bullpen in a much louder way.

7/28/24	Yankees' Clay Holmes rebounds after implosion the night before. BOSTON — Even before the Yankees arrived at Fenway Park this weekend, they were going to have to add to their bullpen ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. And then their two best relievers contributed to the growing problems on Friday night, as Luke Weaver and Clay Holmes blew a three-run lead in what became the Yankees' latest brutal loss. But Holmes found redemption a night later with two scoreless innings to finish off a miraculous comeback 11-8 win over the Red Sox in 10 innings. Clay Holmes celebrates with catcher Austin Wells after picking up the save in the Yankees' 11-8, 10-inning win over the Red Sox on July 27, 2024.

5/22/24	How Yankees' Gerrit Cole keyed Luke Weaver going from struggling starter to nasty reliever. The Yankees were out of the playoff chase and desperate for starting pitching last Sept. 12 when they made a waiver claim on a veteran right-hander with very poor statistics who at the very least was capable of eating up some innings.

Weaver has been pretty great thus far, and he's made numerous adjustments while emerging as the Yankees' latest reclamation relief project.

5/14/24	The unheralded 'STUD' behind Yankees' hot start. The New York Yankees are off to a hot start in 2024, seemingly putting their 2023 struggles behind them while sitting at 27-15, and one of the biggest parts of the success is the team's bullpen, which has been one of the best in baseball.

9/23/23	Yankees’ Luke Weaver happy to be ‘on the right side’ of Aaron Judge’s dominance, learning from Gerrit Cole.

The Yankees took care of their own business again, staking a 3-0 lead to newly-acquired fill-in starter Luke Weaver, who did enough not to lose the game and get it to the bullpen which was lights out.
