Tigers demote Francisco Rodriguez, name Justin Wilson new closer

Detroit Tigers reliever Francisco Rodriguez has been replaced by Justin Wilson as the club's primary closer.

What It Means:

Rodriguez likely sealed his fate with two blown saves over the weekend against the Oakland Athletics. He owns an ugly 8.49 ERA and 2.06 WHIP in 13 appearances (11 2/3 innings) for the Tigers this season. Wilson is a must-add across all standard fantasy formats.

Wilson has recorded a 1.32 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and blistering 44.0 strikeout percentage in 13 2/3 innings this season. He converted on the one save opportunity he was given.
