Cubs manager Dale Sveum confirmed Wednesday that Kevin Gregg will serve as the team's closer.
Sveum has declined to make anything official until now, but he finally acknowledged Wednesday that Gregg has earned the opportunity. The veteran right-hander is a perfect 5-for-5 in save opportunities and has now allowed a run in 7 1/3 innings this season. We don't think his run of success will last long, but he should be owned in all fantasy formats. Kyuji Fujikawa will serve as a set-up man when he returns from the disabled list. May 8 - 11:34 AM

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Kevin Gregg tallied his fifth save of the season Tuesday in the Cubs' defeat of the Cardinals.

Gregg struck out Pete Kozma, induced a pop-up from Matt Adams and got Matt Carpenter to line out. The veteran right-hander has not allowed a run in 7 1/3 innings this season and obviously needs to be owned in all fantasy leagues.

Kevin Gregg made it 4-for-4 in save opportunities after getting four outs against the Padres on Monday.

Gregg struck out two. He's gone four straight outings now without walking a batter, which is quite unusual for him. It's unusual enough for him to go four straight without allowing a run. The Cubs and fantasy owners might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Kevin Gregg tallied his third save of the season Saturday as the Cubs topped the Marlins 3-2.

Gregg retired all three batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth inning, fanning one. The 34-year-old right-hander has not allowed a run in five appearances with the Cubs and is 3-for-3 in save opportunities. While the good times are doubtful to last, he needs to be owned right now in all standard mixed fantasy leagues.

Kevin Gregg retired the Marlins in order in the ninth inning on Friday, preserving a two-run lead and notching his second save of the season.

Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, this in no way means that Kevin Gregg is now the closer for the Cubs. Carlos Marmol wasn't available after working three of the previous four days. With Kyuji Fujikawa expected back from the disabled list soon, don't go wasting too much of your free agent budget on Gregg.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Kevin Gregg recorded his first save for the Cubs on Tuesday, striking out two Reds to preserve a 4-2 victory in 10 innings.

Two weeks ago Gregg didn't have a job, but now he's closing out games for the North Siders. With Carlos Marmol still struggling and Kyuji Fujikawa sidelined, Gregg will likely be given the next opportunity as well. If he shows some flashes of his former ability -- Gregg saved 37 games as recently as 2010 -- he has a chance to lock down the gig for the near future. In deep mixed leagues, he's definitely worth a flyer.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Cubs purchased the contract of RHP Kevin Gregg from Triple-A Iowa.

Gregg was signed to a minor league contract just two days ago but is being rushed to the major leagues to assist the Cubs' battered bullpen. The 34-year-old seems unlikely to get save opportunities in Chicago, but anything can happen given the lack of talent in that 'pen.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Cubs signed RHP Kevin Gregg to a minor league contract.

He'll report to extended spring training initially but should be ready to be added to the Cubs' bullpen before long. He would surely be used in low-leverage situations initially, but with the mess that is the Cubs' bullpen, Gregg could eventually work his way into the later innings.

Dodgers released RHP Kevin Gregg.

The release was requested by Gregg, as he refused to accept an assignment to Triple-A. He's coming off two terrible seasons, but Gregg held a 0.82 ERA in 11 spring appearances. Someone will take a shot on him.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Kevin Gregg is unlikely to have a spot on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster.

Gregg has posted a 0.82 ERA in 11 spring appearances, but the Dodgers don't have an opening. The veteran righty can opt out of his contract or accept an assignment to the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Dodgers signed RHP Kevin Gregg to a minor league contract with a spring training invite.

Gregg was a major disappointment in his two seasons with the Orioles, posting a 4.62 ERA and 1.66 WHIP over 103 appearances. He was removed from the closer role in 2012, and was ultimately released in September before he could be part of the postseason roster. Gregg can still touch the mid-90s and has the potential to be an effective middle reliever, so it's a low-risk signing for the Dodgers.

Orioles released RHP Kevin Gregg.

Gregg was designated for assignment earlier this week. He might have to settle for a minor league deal this winter after a miserable couple years in Baltimore.

Orioles designated RHP Kevin Gregg for assignment.

O's fans have reason to celebrate, as Gregg was finally given the boot Tuesday in order to make room for L.J. Hoes on the 40-man roster. The 34-year-old right-hander was a huge bust given his two-year, $10 million contract with the club, posting a 4.53 ERA and 90/64 K/BB ratio in 103 1/3 innings.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun hears that Kevin Gregg has left Camden Yards.

The reason why he left isn't yet clear, but L.J. Hoes is in the clubhouse. Hoes isn't on the 40-man roster, so the Orioles would have to make a corresponding move. Gregg gave up four runs (three earned) over one inning in his most recent appearance on Sunday and has a 4.74 ERA and 37/24 K/BB ratio over 43 2/3 innings this season.

Kevin Gregg - R - Cubs

Kevin Gregg underwent an MRI on his right side, which came back clean.

The Orioles need to make a roster move now that Robert Andino is back from the paternity leave list, but it won't involve Gregg. Still, the veteran right-hander has looked terrible so far this year and hasn't pitched since April 18, so it probably won't be long before the O's finally decide to cut bait.
