Fantasy Impact:

Kimbrel, who turns 37 in late May, posted a 5.33 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 52.1 innings last season with the Orioles. He will look to turn things around with the Braves, the team he began his career with and recorded 186 saves. Atlanta will closely examine him over the next few weeks to determine if he will join the big league club.
