Craig Kimbrel, who was cut by the Braves after one appearance last week, signed a minor league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday.

The Atlanta Braves waited over two months of the 2025 Major League Baseball season to give 37-year-old All-Star reliever Craig Kimbrel an opportunity. Kimbrel, who signed a minor league deal with the Braves in March, spent the first two months of the 2025 season in Triple-A, waiting to join a struggling Atlanta team.

Craig Kimbrel was not given much of an opportunity to prove himself with the Atlanta Braves this season, but the veteran relief pitcher has landed with a new team.
