Washington Nationals – Rafael Soriano will be temporarily removed from the closer role and given a few days off to try and fix his mechanics. The Nats will go with a committee approach for now, most likely giving the first crack to Tyler Clippard, who could take the job and run with it if he converts his first couple of chances. Drew Storen is also a possibility.
Updated hierarchy: Clippard | Storen | Soriano.
