Soto was not used in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Mariners, with Jose Cisnero getting the save instead.
Cisnero has now closed out the last two Detroit wins, suggesting that he's overtaken Soto for the closer role. The latter has pitched decently with a 3.09 ERA, though his 1.63 WHIP and 4.12 FIP suggest some regression is due. While Cisnero is on the upswing now, it's also quite possible that manager A.J. Hinch mixes and matches with both pitchers when save opportunities arise. Michael Fulmer (shoulder) is also second on the team with four saves and figures to factor into the equation when he's able to return from the injured list. As a result, none of the three pitchers looks likely to seize the role outright, at least in the short term.
