No major changes to this week's rankings, outside of the return of Edwin Diaz. I have him outside of the top 10 for now, but if he can string together a few dominant performances, he should move up quickly. David Robertson was arguably the best closer of the week, and I'll admit he feels too low at 20 here. The White Sox have gone on a little streak here lately, but there's almost no way it lasts. As long as he remains in Chicago, he'll struggle to find saves.

TIER 1: Nothing Compares 2 U

1. Kenley Jansen (Los Angeles Dodgers)—Pedro Baez, Josh Fields

2. Craig Kimbrel (Boston Red Sox)—Matt Barnes, Heath Hembree

3. Greg Holland (Colorado Rockies)—Jake McGee, Mike Dunn

4. Wade Davis (Chicago Cubs)—Hector Rondon, Carl Edwards Jr.
