Kimbrel's activation a needed boost for Rays' bullpen ANAHEIM -- The Rays got a boost for their bullpen on Saturday, reinstating veteran right-hander Craig Kimbrel from the 15-day injured list.

JUNE 14 • MLB.COM

Returns from IL The Rays activated Kimbrel (wrist) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Kimbrel landed on the IL due to a right wrist strain in late May, and he ended up needing only the minimum amount of time on the shelf. The veteran reliever will now resume his low-leverage role in Tampa Bay's bullpen. He has pitched in just one game since joining the team off waivers May 26, tossing a scoreless inning against Baltimore.

Impact Kimbrel had made only one appearance for the Rays before going down with a right wrist strain at the end of May.

However, the veteran right-hander expressed confidence Saturday that he'll be ready to be reinstated from the IL when eligible June 12. Kimbrel signed a major-league deal with the Rays on May 26, four days after being designated for assignment by the Mets.

Gets MLB deal from Rays The Rays signed Kimbrel to a one-year contract Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kimbrel elected free agency Monday after being removed from the Mets' 40-man roster, and he's managed to quickly land another major-league contract. Slated to turn 38 on Thursday, Kimbrel posted a 6.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 15 innings with the Mets. The Rays are often able to work magic with pitchers and see something with Kimbrel they might be able to tap into, but he's nevertheless a long shot to produce fantasy value in Tampa Bay.

Heads to free agency Kimbrel elected free agency Monday.

Impact Kimbrel was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday and was then sent outright to Triple-A. However, instead of accepting an assignment to the minors, the veteran right-hander will choose to search for a big-league opportunity elsewhere.

MAY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A The Mets outrighted Kimbrel to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Kimbrel will presumably elect free agency rather than accept an outright assignment, but he doesn't seem to have officially done that yet. The veteran reliever was booted off the Mets' 40-man roster last week after posting a 6.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 15 innings.
