Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Greg Holland will be removed from the closer role for the time being, manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday.
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.
