Papelbon has been reinstated from his suspension and will resume his role as the Phillies' closer, Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News reports. Papelbon served a seven-game ban for making a lewd gesture toward fans after blowing a save last Sunday. Despite the negative attention the situation drew, Papelbon will return to his role as the primary closer. In 64.1 innings (64 appearances) this season, Papelbon holds a 2.10 ERA with 37 saves and four blown saves.
