Nationals reliever Casey Janssen could see some save opportunities over the final week of the season following the suspension of Jonathan Papelbon.
He hasn't been used in many high-leverage situations in the second half, but Janssen is the only reliever in the bullpen with recent closing experience. The Nats could elect to give younger arms like Felipe Rivero a look in the role as well, however.
