Greg Holland removed from Diamondbacks' closer role
Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Greg Holland will be removed from the closer role for the time being, manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday.
What It Means:
Lovullo added that he hopes it's only a temporary adjustment. The club hasn't picked someone to take over in the ninth, though Yoan Lopez picked up a save last week. Archie Bradley, Yoshihisa Hirano, and Andrew Chafin could also be considered.
Holland owns a 1.29 ERA with 40 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings (37 games) this season. He's converted 17-of-22 save opportunities.
