Rockies' Carlos Estevez: Remains closer, for now

Estevez will remain the closer in Colorado following the activation of Jake McGee, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Estevez has allowed an earned run in three of his last four appearances, resulting in two losses and one blown save being charged. Given the struggles, it wouldn't be surprising to see him removed from ninth-inning duties, but it appears the Rockies will wait and ease McGee back into action instead. Estevez will still cling on to some fantasy utility in the short term, but as long as McGee can return to his pre-injury form, look for Estevez to eventually be usurped as closer.
