6 years agoDetroit Tigers relief pitcher Joe Jimenez will assume the closing role, club sources reported on Monday. The Tigers placed closer Shane Greene on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right shoulder, opening the door for Jimenez, who had been the team's setup man all season. Jimenez has been excellent thus far out of the bullpen, pitching to a 2.77 ERA with 44 strikeouts in 39 innings of work. He also has 13 holds on the year. With Jimenez moving into the ninth inning, relievers Alex Wilson and Louis Coleman should emerge as holds candidates. Jimenez should now be owned in all fantasy leagues.--Tyler Germain - RotoBaller
