Detroit Tigers – Buck Farmer allowed 2 more runs yesterday and is off to a rough start this season. The Tigers will continue to mix and match in the late innings, but it’s unlikely that Farmer gets much high-leverage work until he can lower his 9.72 ERA.
Updated hierarchy: *B.Garcia | Soto | Cisnero.
* = closer-by-committee
Toronto Blue Jays – Jordan Romano’s first appearance after his IL activation on Saturday was a rather forgettable one, and either due to his wildness or not wanting to use him twice in a row right out of the gate, the Jays went with Rafael Dolis for the 9th inning on Sunday. Dolis converted for his second save; this remains a committee.
Hierarchy remains: *Romano | Dolis | Mayza.
* = closer-by-committee
San Francisco Giants – After Jake McGee pitched Thursday and Friday, Gabe Kapler wanted to give him an extra day off on Sunday, so Tyler Rogers pitched the 9th, earning his second save.
Hierarchy remains: McGee | Rogers | Peralta.
