Shocking Turn: Braves Call Up Craig Kimbrel, Then Immediately Designate Him for Assignment—What’s Really Going On?
Kimbrel, 37, appeared in Friday’s 5-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants after being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. Pitching the seventh inning, he allowed no runs with one hit, one walk and a strikeout. Kimbrel threw 14 pitches in total.

However, Braves manager Brian Snitker didn’t sound terribly impressed with Kimbrel’s performance after the game, attributing the scoreless inning partially to luck.
“He kind of lucked out of it a little bit,” Snitker said, via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I’m glad he got through it. It was good to get him out there for the first time. So we’ll see.”
