Seth McClung was recalled late last week and not installed as the Tampa bay closer.
However, he has pitched in meaningful situations just prior to the 9th. He is 1-1 in 3 IP with 4 runners and 3 Ks.
His season totals will not look even medicore until season's end -if at all, but he should prove to be a helpful pitcher nonetheless.
And I still believe he gets a shot to close this season.
Just not as quickly as I had anticipated.
Note also, that Brian Meadows, the current TB closer pitched 4 innings with two saves but 8 runners and no Ks.

Five of Edwin Jackson's last seven appearances have been not so good. I just can't see him being the closer for very long.
What doesn't make sense to me is that you send McClung down to practice closing, you bring him back up, and then you give the job to a different guy - who also was a starter and wasn't sent down to practice closing at all.
The Rays never have a plan. Other than Carl Crawford, owning their players is torture.
