Brad Boxberger replaced as Arizona closer by committee approach

September 10, 2018

Arizona Diamondbacks — As we told you this morning, Brad Boxberger is out as the Diamondbacks closer and Torey Lovullo is planning to play matchups. We like Jake Diekman, Brad Ziegler, and Yoshihisa Hirano in that order to get the first shot, but it’s anyone’s guess at this point, and it may be that no one really “wins” the job for the next few weeks.

Updated hierarchy: *Diekman | Ziegler | Hirano.
* = closer-by-committee
