Steve Cishek to be used "in earlier innings"

Miami Marlins reliever Steve Cishek has been removed from the closer's role and will pitch earlier in games in order to try to find the success that made him an excellent closer in previous seasons. (Joe Frisaro on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Previously, it was believed that Cishek would take a step down to the eighth inning, but it seems instead that he will be limited to mop-up duty for a while. Cishek has had great success in the past but has really struggled this season. He may regain the closer's role at some point this year, but he is safe to drop now if there is anyone of value available on the wire.
