Greg Holland is out and Wade Davis is in as the Kansas City Royals’ closer.

With Holland continuing to nurse a sore elbow, Royals manager Ned Yost said before the game Tuesday against Seattle that Davis would close games for the remainder of the season and the playoffs.

Holland, an All-Star in 2013 and ’14 when he saved 93 games in 98 chances, has 32 saves in 37 opportunities this year with a 3.83 ERA.

Davis has 13 saves and in 14 opportunities and a 7-1 record with a 0.88 ERA.
