| Tigers | Joakim Soria the new closer in Detroit | |
| Detroit Tigers RP Joakim Soria will take over the closer's role in Detroit with RP Joe Nathan (elbow) on the disabled list. Source: MLB.com - Anthony Fenech | |
| BHQ take: Soria's 2014 skills and previous closing success suggest he is likely to hold the role even if Nathan returns. Soria's 164 BPV and 2.93 xERA in 2014 represent career bests. He has 178 career saves. Nathan's skills, conversely, are fading. Once one of the game's top closers, Nathan's 49 BPV and 4.27 xERA in 2014 were career worsts. —Tom Kephart | |
