Kyle Farnsworth News: Farnsworth will serve as the Pirates' closer Wednesday with both Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli unavailable, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Farnsworth will serve as the Pirates' closer Wednesday with both Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli unavailable, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Farnsworth has appeared in just three games with the Pirates, but he earned the right to serve as the fill-in closer by giving up just one hit and posting a 5:0 K:BB ratio over three frames with the club. Farnsworth will return to a middle relief role following Wednesday's game, but consider him a one-day bargain in daily formats.
