Washington Nationals – Tanner Rainey was sent to AAA to try and get back on track. Rookie Gabe Klobosits, a 6’7″ righty who has two holds in his first two major league appearances, slides into this hierarchy.
Updated hierarchy: Finnegan | Suero | Klobosits.
Tampa Bay Rays — Jeffrey Springs was officially placed on the IL today with a right knee injury. Matt Wisler, Andrew Kitteredge, and Drew Rasmussen should all help close out games until the Rays start getting some of their injured bullpen arms back; Wisler was the one who got (and converted) the save chance yesterday.
Updated hierarchy: *Wisler | Kittredge | Rasmussen.
* = closer-by-committee

Today
