The San Diego Padres have removed Taylor Rogers as closer, A.J. Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
The Padres are temporarily going closer by committee with Taylor Rogers getting “a little bit of a break” from the role, per Bob Melvin. “Our best team is with him closing,” Melvin adds.

This should come as no surprise as Rogers has struggled mightily of late. Rogers has blown four of his last ten save opportunities, giving up 11 earned runs in 11.
