Gary Sheffield Jr said Luke Weaver no longer profiles as a trustworthy late-inning option after coming back early from a hamstring strain. Sheffield called Weaver "a shell of himself," noting diminished velocity and command since the injury and stressing that the Yankees clearly lack a lockdown reliever. Because Brian Cashman is almost certain to shop for a high-leverage arm before the deadline, Sheffield urged season-long players chasing saves to move off Weaver now and instead stash potential trade targets such as Jhoan Duran or Eugenio Suarez-type bats who could shift bullpen hierarchy upon arrival in the Bronx.
