Williams was previously removed from the closer role earlier this year, as he lost the job to Luke Weaver. Freshly acquired reliever David Bednar pitched the eighth inning on Monday and could be in line to be the closer if Williams is indeed removed from the role.

Aaron Judge’s return to the Yankees’ lineup didn’t make much of a difference on Tuesday, not with Nathan Eovaldi at his very best and Devin Williams still in a funk.

Williams entered in a scoreless game in the eighth and gave up two runs to the Rangers. The Yankees managed only two hits.
