Brandyn Garcia

Paul Sewald demoted after a disastrous second half. Garcia has the first two post-demotion saves, but Lovullo won't name a closer — he'll play matchups with Morillo, Loaisiga, and Ginkel. Justin Martinez returning from IL in early August could immediately take the gig.

Garcia, a lefty, has taken recent save opportunities away from Paul Sewald in Arizona. Sewald had been the closer but fell out of favor with the coaching staff. This is an early-stage switch — confirm with back-to-back save appearances before making any roster moves. Worth monitoring daily in deep leagues.

Paul Sewald continues to struggle and Garcia has posted a six-game scoreless streak with a save and three holds. The Diamondbacks haven't made a formal closer announcement, but ninth-inning usage is clearly shifting Garcia's way. Add in 14+ team leagues before the announcement comes — one more Sewald blown save likely triggers an immediate role handoff.
