Atlanta Braves: The acquisition of Brad Brach by the Braves on Sunday doesn’t change the hierarchy as far as who will close. A.J. Minter is still the closer and that won’t change until if/when Arodys Vizcaino returns from the disabled list. That return isn’t expected to happen until late August at the earliest. Brach will be a setup man for Minter and will give the Braves some depth in their bullpen. Arizona Diamondbacks: The addition of Brad Ziegler to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen is yet another depth move. Brad Boxberger should remain the closer with Archie Bradley and Ziegler providing quality relief pitching in the seventh and eighth innings.
