Indians will fill closer's role with four pitchers
May 16, 2008 7:13 PM

CINCINNATI
Rafael Betancourt has lost his job as interim closer for the Cleveland Indians.



The team plans to use several relievers at the end of games until Joe Borowski returns from an arm injury.

Manager Eric Wedge made the decision today, a day after Betancourt had to be replaced in the ninth inning of a 4-2 win over Oakland.

Borowski has been out since April 15 with a strained right triceps. He threw 30 to 35 pitches without problem today in a simulated game. The Indians plan to have him pitch in a minor league game next week as part of a rehabilitation assignment.

Betancourt tied for the AL lead in holding leads last season, when he was a key part of Cleveland's bullpen. Betancourt was 1-2 with a 7.31 earned run average after he failed to close out yesterday's game.
