Brewers' Neftali Feliz: Hooked from closer's role

Feliz is no longer the closer for the Brewers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Feliz's disastrous outing Thursday afternoon marked his fourth loss of the season and raised his ERA to 6.19, which apparently was the last straw for manager Craig Counsell. The Brewers' skipper reportedly plans to mix up who closes out games moving forward, but Corey Knebel and Jacob Barnes seem like logical choices given their strong showings thus far. Feliz may still be able to reclaim the role later in the season if he turns things around in a lower-leverage role, but for the time being, he'll work on improving his command in earlier innings.
