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.

Weaver tweaked his hamstring while warming up in the bullpen Sunday's win over the Dodgers, and the injury appears to be more significant than initially thought after the Yankees received his MRI results. The team plans to disclose an official timetable for the closer's return Tuesday, per Passan. Weaver's absence will presumably pave the way for Devin Williams to take back full-time closing duties for the Yankees. Williams picked up his last save May 27 against the Angels, despite surrendering two runs on three hits.
