Carlos Marmol reinstated as closer for the Cubs

June 15, 2012

Chicago Cubs – Carlos Marmol got his first save since returning from the minors this afternoon, and he told WGN after the game that he was back in the closer’s role.  He’s immediately on the Hot Seat, as it’s easy to picture Dale Sveum yanking him out of the role again if he blows his next couple opportunities (and his save today was far from smooth).  But he’ll see the majority of save chances going forward.  Hierarchy change: Carlos Marmol to Closer, James Russell to Set-up, Shawn Camp to 2nd in line.
