Shawn Kelley, Koda Glover to share closing duties for Nationals

April 19, 2017

Washington Nationals – As expected, Dusty Baker announced that Blake Treinen will no longer be his closer. Slightly less expected was a committee, as Shawn Kelley and Koda Glover will share duties. The reasoning for this to not pitch Kelley every day due to injury concern, so do expect Glover to see some save opportunities. Treinen will return to the fireman role he had last year.

Updated hierarchy: *Kelley | Glover | Treinen.
* = closer-by-committee
