Most divisive Cubs' pitcher in years revived by Braves' late-inning meltdown

Even during the period of April and early May when it seemed as if any game the Chicago Cubs had to use their bullpen, it was going to turn into a loss, there was one name no one; absolutely no one was clamoring for Jed Hoyer to try and acquire. And yet, Craig Kimbrel is officially back in the big leagues, on the roster of a team that is (reportedly) looking to contend for a playoff spot.

The Atlanta Braves’ bullpen is quite the mess, as evidenced by allowing seven runs in the ninth inning in their most recent loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
