Seattle Mariners – After back-to-back poor outings, including a blown save on Sunday, Steve Cishek is out as Mariners closer. Edwin Diaz will take over for Cishek, with Tom Wilhelmsen likely getting the 8th for now. Cishek may still see some work in the 7th if Seattle has the lead, so we’ll keep him in the hierarchy for now, though recently-acquired Drew Storen is also a candidate to get some looks in the 7th.
Updated hierarchy: Diaz | Wilhelmsen | Cishek.
