Shane Greene's time as the Atlanta Braves closer has come to a close.
Braves manager BrianSnitker said on Saturday that Mark Melancon will serve as the team's closer for the time being, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. The deal isn't necessarily permanent, however:
David O'BrienDidn't say it would be permanent or anything like that. Just for now that's the plan. Let Greene get settled in and back getting good results. He does that and I'd guess he'll be back in the closer role or at least splitting duties.
