Manager Brad Ausmus said that Greene will be the Tigers' closer moving forward, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
There was some speculation that this might be the case if left-hander Justin Wilson were traded prior to the trade deadline, and with Wilson heading to Chicago, Greene now will have an open path to save opportunities. The 28-year-old right-hander is having a career year in the Tigers' bullpen, producing a 2.74 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 46 innings, but the newfound role in Detroit exponentially increases his value in all fantasy formats.
