Uncertainty in White Sox, Rockies, Angels, Twins bullpens

Clubs in dire straits often experience the same feelings. When it comes to bullpens, every manager can agree on feeling uncertainty regularly, regardless of their relief talent.

This week's column will focus on the Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels, and Minnesota Twins as they enter, and in some cases continue, periods of uncertainty regarding their closing situation. 

Chicago is the most recent entrant into this conversation. Seranthony Domínguez has presided over the closer role all year, recording 10 saves despite struggling with homers (2.5 HR/9) to the tune of a 4.82 ERA. Here's where the top arms in Chicago's pen stand right now:
