Sergio Romo out, committee (Casilla, Affeldt) in as Giants closer

Giants reliever Sergio Romo blew another save last night; his third in his past five appearances.

Now it's unclear if, or when, he will get his next chance to close the game as he's been removed from the team's closer role and he will be replaced by a committee, per Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Both Santiago Casilla and Jeremy Affeldt will get the team's ninth-inning opportunities going forward.

Casilla has an ERA of 1.17 and WHIP of 0.88 while Affeldt has been nearly as effective with an 1.33 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Romo has allowed nine earned runs in his past 4 1/3 innings over his past five appearances.

It's unclear if either one will get more opportunities to close than the other, but both are widely available in fantasy leagues. At the moment (although these percentages will likely rise quickly), Casilla and Affeldt are owned in only 12 and three percent of Yahoo! leagues, respectively.

Brian Wilson out with strained oblique

San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson has been shut down until at least Monday with a strained left oblique, according to Alex Pavlovic of the San Jose Mercury News.

Wilson, who will be reevaluated on Monday, said he expects to be ready for the season opener, which is less than two weeks away.

"I feel a lot better than I did Thursday and I'll feel a lot better tomorrow and Monday and we'll take it from there," Wilson said. "I wouldn't imagine the team is worried about me. They know the situation ... they know I'll be ready."

According to live draft results in ESPN fantasy leagues, Wilson is the first closer off the boards with an average draft position of 64.2.

As pointed out by Pavlovic, Giants manager Bruce Bochy listed Jeremy Affeldt and Sergio Romo as the top candidates for save opportunities if Wilson isn't ready for Opening Day.
