Florida Marlins Closing Situation - Gregg Remains The Closer

The Florida Marlins announced that Kevin Gregg will remain the team's closer after Henry Owens returns from the DL.

Fantasy Impact: I just posted a day or two ago that Owens hadn't done anything prior to getting hurt to lose his closer's job, but Gregg has racked up 3 saves in his last 4 outings, striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing no hits. Apparently manager Fredi Gonzalez doesn't want to mess with what's working, so all of you who picked up Kevin Gregg might have a handy closer until Gonzalez changes his mind again. Owens will likely return to a setup role, and then it will be Gregg's job to lose at that point. Those who have Owens stashed on the DL should keep him there until you have to activate him, and if you do have to activate him, I'd keep him benched for a bit until this plays out more unless you absolutely need the roster spot for something more important.
