Blue Jays' Jason Grilli: Could be closer with Osuna out

Grilli is likely to begin the season as Toronto's closer after Robert Osuna was placed on the 10-day DL, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Analysis:

Osuna was able to pitch in spring training, so his placement on the DL is a surprise. Unless Osuna suffered a significant setback, Grilli may only be Toronto's closer for about 10 days. And it's not totally clear that Grilli would get all the save chances. Still, Grilli looks to be the player to grab for saves in the near term.
