“Shocking Closer Shakeup: Romano’s Collapse Paves the Way for Clase’s Rising Star Moment!”

In Kansas City, Estévez picked up saves on back-to-back days, giving him three on the season. Meanwhile, Lucas Erceg continues to be thrown into high-leverage situations. He’s been solid behind Estévez, pitching 5 1/3 scoreless innings in the early going.

Jackson further solidified his role as the Rangers’ closer with two more saves this week. He’s already up to five saves on the year and has not allowed a run over his last six appearances since giving up three on Opening Day.

Pressly continues to just get by. The 36-year-old right-hander picked up a save against the Padres on Friday before taking the loss Sunday. He’s struck out just two batters with six walks and 11 hits allowed over seven frames. Despite giving up a run in each of his last two outings, Porter Hodge has been the better pitcher and should be ready to take over the ninth-inning role at some point if Pressly’s skills don’t see an improvement.
