The Reds wouldn't confirm that J.J. Hoover is the team's closer moving forward after he once again struggled on Tuesday. (Jon Fay on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Hoover narrowly escaped with the save Tuesday, allowing two runs in 2/3 of an inning. He's now allowed nine earned runs in 5 1/3 innings to start the season. The team doesn't have a clear replacement option for Hoover, so they would likely take a closer by committee approach if he's removed from the role.
