Perez relinquishes role as Indians' closer

Now that Kerry Wood has returned from the disabled list, Chris Perez will be a set-up man rather than the Indians' closer.

Perez is still considered to be the Indians' closer of the future, but it appears that Wood is still their closer of today. Perez struggled in his time at the back of the Indians' pen, but if Wood can't do much better or gets traded--both very possible outcomes--Perez could easily go back to closing.
