Qualls will likely step into the closer role temporarily with Luke Gregerson being placed on the Family Medical Emergency List. It's uncertain how long Gregerson may be away from the club, but Qualls figures to occupy the ninth-inning role in the meantime. Qualls gave up a run on two hits in an inning against Texas on Monday, but he's posted a .194 BAA and 14:2 K:BB with two saves and four holds in 12 appearances this season.
