Kelvin Herrera has been nudged from the closer's role, and manager Ned Yost will be using a committee in the form of Scott Alexander, Brandon Maurer, and Mike Minor to fill the void. (Pete Grathoff on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

None of these names should inspire confidence from fantasy owners, but Alexander has been the most consistent reliever for the Royals, and he has recorded a slew of one-out saves recently. Maurer had two save opportunities recently, blowing one. Yost will probably ride the hot hand and play matchups, so it will be tough to determine who gets each save. Feel free to drop Herrera in the meantime.
