Shane Greene named Tigers' new closer
Detroit Tigers reliever Shane Greene will be the team's new closer following the trade of Justin Wilson to the Chicago Cubs, manager Brad Ausmus announced Monday.
What It Means:
Greene hasn't given up a run in 13 July appearances and he should be able to hold onto the job for the rest of the season. The 28-year-old right-hander owns a 2.74 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 25.6 strikeout percentage (K%) across 46 innings (50 appearances) this season.
numberFire's models project Greene to record a 3.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 23.3 K% over 24 2/3 innings for the remainder of his 2017 campaign.
