Marlins' Brandon Kintzler: Still set to close

Kintzler is expected to begin the season as the Marlins' closer, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Manager Don Mattingly indicated before spring training the 35-year-old would be the team's primary closer, and five months later that appears to remain the case for the shortened season. Kintzler joined Miami on a one-year deal after posting a 2.68 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB over 57 innings with the Cubs last season. Ryne Stanek and Yimi Garcia look like the next men up for the ninth inning for the Marlins.
