After blowing his fourth save of the season on Tuesday by giving up a walk-off grand slam to Oakland's Khris Davis, Shawn Tolleson has been removed from the closer's role with the Texas Rangers.
Per Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, upon being informed of the decision, Tolleson said, "It wasn't anything that surprised me." Rangers manager Jeff Banister said the team is "gonna wrap our arms around Tolly and figure out what's going on," per Jared Sandler of 105.3 The Fan.
Per Wilson, the Rangers will go with Sam Dyson as their new closer.
