Adam Ottavino to replace Carlos Esteves as Rockies' closer

Colorado Rockies reliever Carlos Estevez has been pulled from the team's closer role.

What It Means:

Estevez has allowed allowed seven runs over his last two appearances, picking up losses in both games, and has an ugly 5.18 ERA on the season. He will be replaced as the closer by Adam Ottavino.

Ottavino has yet to give up an earned run in 11 2/3 innings this season, sporting a 2.28 SIERA with a 26.67 percent strikeout rate.
