Report: Carlos Marmol Out As Cubs' Closer

Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum has informed Carlos Marmol that he is no longer the team’s closer, according to Carrie Muskat of MLB.com.

Bullpen hands James Russel and Rafael Dolis will reportedly serve as closers by committee in his place.

Marmol had posted a 6.23 ERA and just two saves in 12 appearances this year for the Cubs. Last season he recorded 34 saves for Chicago but posted a 4.01 ERA.
