Craig Kimbrel's reunion with the Atlanta Braves lasted one game. The veteran reliever was designated for assignment on Saturday, the team announced.
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.
