Tigers demote Francisco Rodriguez, name Justin Wilson new closer
Detroit Tigers reliever Francisco Rodriguez has been replaced by Justin Wilson as the club's primary closer.
Rodriguez likely sealed his fate with two blown saves over the weekend against the Oakland Athletics. He owns an ugly 8.49 ERA and 2.06 WHIP in 13 appearances (11 2/3 innings) for the Tigers this season. Wilson is a must-add across all standard fantasy formats.
Wilson has recorded a 1.32 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and blistering 44.0 strikeout percentage in 13 2/3 innings this season. He converted on the one save opportunity he was given.
