Cishek could see save chances with Edwin Diaz removed from the closer role Tuesday, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Scott Servais has decided that Diaz needs a break from closing to work on his mechanics. The expectation is that the Mariners will mix and match in the later innings until Diaz gets right, using a combination of Cishek, Nick Vincent and Tony Zych at the back end of the bullpen. While Cishek has made just one appearance this season -- he opened the year on the DL following offseason hip surgery -- his experience closing games (120 career saves) may give him the edge in this new committee.
