Arizona Diamondbacks starter Luke Weaver (arm) had a follow-up MRI on Monday that showed improvement in his pitching arm. Weaver felt discomfort during a shortened start on May 26 before being put on the injured list. He was ultimately diagnosed with multiple mild strains in his throwing arm, although, he thankfully avoided needing surgery. The improvement bodes well for the 25-year-old, but there is still no throwing program in place as of yet. Weaver is worthy of a stash if fantasy managers have space as he was dynamite for the Diamondbacks before getting hurt.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller

According to New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone, relief pitcher Luke Weaver will get most of the Yankees' save opportunities moving forward. Boone didn't rule out using Weaver earlier in games in a prominent spot and then leaning on other relievers in the ninth, though. This news broke shortly after Boone announced that Devin Williams has been removed from the closer role for now. Williams has been struggling mightily in 2025, with an 11.25 ERA in 10 appearances. On the other hand, Weaver has not allowed an earned run in 13 innings pitched. Weaver immediately gets a short-term fantasy boost in both points and category leagues. It's still unclear what the plan will be in a month or two, but for now, Weaver will be used in closing situations, or at the very least, the highest leverage opportunities. He is a must-add in all formats that value saves and relief pitching.--Nicho Roessler - RotoBaller

New York Yankees right-hander Luke Weaver picked up the final four outs to preserve a 9-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Weaver held the Diamondbacks scoreless while notching one strikeout to pick up his first save of the season. The veteran hurler usually operates in a set-up role but was called upon to get the save with regular closer Devin Williams away on paternity leave. Williams is expected to return on Friday, which will bump Weaver back to his normal spot. That being said, Weaver is worth a look in fantasy leagues that reward reliever holds. Weaver has now appeared in two games this season, tossing 2 1/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts for the Yankees.--Matt T - RotoBaller

New York Yankees relief pitcher Luke Weaver had his 2025 club option exercised according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. This deal is valued at $2.5 million. During the regular season, the 31-year-old emerged as a key contributor in the Yankee bullpen as he held a solid 2.89 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 84 innings of work. He generated strikeouts at an elite 31.1% rate. In the postseason, Weaver was deployed as the go-to option in the ninth inning as he tallied four saves with a 1.76 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP in 15 1/3 frames of work. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the Yankee bullpen in the offseason as Weaver could open the 2025 campaign as the clear ninth-inning option.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

New York Yankees closer Luke Weaver finally had a bad showing this postseason, taking his first blown save in a 7-5 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in Game 3 of the ALCS. Weaver had been terrific before this game, allowing just one run in seven frames and converting all four of his save chances. Unfortunately, he threw one bad pitch to Jhonkensy Noel in this one, and Big Christmas took him deep. It was actually the first blown save of Weaver's entire 2024 campaign, and even though he only took over the full-time closer role in September, that is still impressive. He will continue to work as the Yankees closer and should have the team's full trust despite the tough outing.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
