Manager Bruce Bochy named Derek Law the head of the closer committee that will fill in while Mark Melancon (elbow) is on the disabled list, but Okert could see situational save opportunities, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Law is clearly the reliever to target for save chances, but Okert may be deployed in the ninth against opponents who boast lefty-heavy lineups. His 5.06 ERA doesn't look appealing, but the young southpaw has held his own in high-leverage situations this season, collecting two holds without blowing a lead. Melancon isn't expected to be out for long, so Okert may not see many save opportunities, if any at all.
