With Craig Kimbrel unavailable Wednesday, Ziegler would serve as the closer if the Red Sox find themselves in a save situation, Scott Lauber of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kimbrel will not pitch Wednesday after doing so three of the last four days, which will allow Ziegler to work as the closer for one night. Ziegler has plenty experience in that role, having closed three games since being traded to the Red Sox and tallying 18 saves with the Diamondbacks earlier this season.
