Joel Peralta to close in TB; Dodgers bullpen shuffle

April 6, 2012

Tampa Bay Rays- Kyle Farnsworth was on the Rays’ 25-man opening day roster yesterday, but today, he’s been placed on the disabled list after complaining of elbow soreness.  Joel Peralta will see save opportunities in his absence.  Hierarchy change: Joel Peralta to Closer, Fernando Rodney to Set-up, Jake McGee to 2nd in line, Kyle Farnsworth to DL.

Los Angeles Dodgers- Matt Guerrier pitched the 7th inning in a two-run game last night.  With Guerrier and the also-talented Mike MacDougal eating up the middle innings for the Dodgers, Scott Elbert might be reduced to a LOOGY role.  Hierarchy change: Matt Guerrier to 2nd in line, replacing Scott Elbert.
