Manager Walt Weiss named Estevez the Rockies' closer while Jake McGee (knee) is out, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Weiss was hesitant to name either Jason Motte or Estevez the closer prior to Saturday's matchup, but after Estevez came into a tough situation that Motte created and completed the save, Weiss felt confident enough to give the 23-year-old the job. Estevez does have some closing experience, as he amassed 24 saves between High-A, Double-A, and the Arizona Fall League, so as long as he can continue performing like he did Saturday, he could be a decent fill-in until McGee returns from the DL.
