Braves call up franchise saves leader Craig Kimbrel a day after blowing a big lead
SAN FRANCISCO — The Atlanta Braves have called up franchise career saves leader Craig Kimbrel from the minors a day after having their worst blown ninth-inning lead in more than a half-century.
The Braves 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. Atlanta placed right-hander Daysbel Hernández on the 15-day injured list with right forearm inflammation, retroactive to Thursday, and traded right-hander Scott Blewett to Baltimore for cash considerations to make room on the roster.

Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip
Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite another spectacular home run-saving catch by Julio Rodriguez, the Seattle Mariners dropped their series opener 5-4 to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Advertisement However, they may soon have some reinforcements on the way as they try to keep pace with the AL West-leading Houston Astros. Seattle ace Logan Gilbert continues to work his way back from a right elbow flexor strain, which has shelved him since late April. During his second rehab outing on Wednesday, the 28-year-old threw 60 pitches across three innings, allowing five hits, one walk, one hit batter and two earned runs. SI's Teren Kowatsch noted that, "He touched 96.8 mph on his fastball in the first inning, but his velocity dipped to just under 94 mph at the end of his outing. His average velocity was 95.4 mph." However, Gilbert acknowledged afterward he "wasn't concerned" about it, as reported by The Seattle Times' Adam Jude. Advertisement On Friday, Mariners manager Dan Wilson announced Friday that Gilbert will make "at least" one more rehab start with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, according to Daniel Kramer. Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (36) delivers a Hamilton-Imagn Images Kramer added that while the date has not yet been confirmed, "it'd likely be on Tuesday." If that outing were to go well, it could put Gilbert on track to rejoin his Seattle teammates for the Mariners' upcoming six-game homestand against the Cleveland Guardians and Boston Red Sox. Through his first six big-league starts this season, the Mariners ace has posted a sparkling 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP across 30 1/3 innings with 44 strikeouts.
