Cubs manager Rick Renteria has decided to pull Jose Veras from the closer's role, according to an ESPN.com report.

Renteria announced his decision Saturday, just hours after giving Veras a vote of confidence after the right-hander blew a save opportunity in Friday's win over the Cardinals. 

"We're going to try and find some spots that he can continue to work through whatever things we need to work through and get better," Renteria said Saturday morning. "Right now we're going to see who emerges. We're going to use some of our other guys."
