Hoffman pitched in a setup role on Sunday against the Twins. He needed just 9 pitches to set down Minnesota in the 8th innings, making a nice defensive play in doing so. John Axford picked up the save, but Hoffman might be back in the closers role soon if he keeps this up.

After blowing another save--this one against the Reds--it seems like Hoffman's job is finally in jeopardy. Carlos Villanueva might start seeing some save opps in the near future.
