Braves’ all-time saves leader Craig Kimbrel designated for assignment 1 day after getting promoted

Craig Kimbrel's stay with the Atlanta Braves lasted just one day as the team designated the franchise's career saves leader for assignment Saturday and recalled left-handed pitcher Austin Cox. The Braves had selected Kimbrel from Triple-A Gwinnett and recalled left-hander Dylan Dodd before opening a road series against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night. Kimbrel pitched a scoreless seventh inning in the Braves' 5-4 loss in 10 innings.
