Whether or not Joaquin Benoit reclaims the closers role with the Padres to finish out the season remains to be seen.
The veteran relief pitcher is again nearing a return from a balky shoulder and should be put back into a role at the back end of the Padres bullpen.
In 50 games this season Benoit has 9 saves and 16 holds while posting a 1.58 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP.
