NBC SportsBraves signed RHP Craig Kimbrel to a minor league contract.

Kimbrel will continue ramping up over the next few weeks before heading to Triple-A Gwinnett. The future Hall of Famer, who turns 37 years old in late May, spent five years with the Braves at the outset of his career from 2010-2014. He's sitting on 440 career saves, which is fifth all-time behind Kenley Jansen, Lee Smith, Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera. It's unclear whether he has anything left in the tank after posting a calamitous 5.33 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 73/31 K/BB ratio across 52 1/3 innings (57 appearances) last year for the Orioles. He'll presumably pitch in high-leverage spots helping bridge the gap from Atlanta's rotation to elite closer Raisel Iglesias.

NBC SportsBen Joyce struck out the side on Wednesday in a scoreless inning against the White Sox.

Joyce maxed out at an absurd 103.6 mph, while averaging 102.1 mph on his four-seam fastball, and registered an eye-popping six swinging strikes on just 21 pitches. The 24-year-old flamethrower will operate in a setup role behind veteran stopper Kenley Jansen this season for Los Angeles, but is more than capable of handling the ninth inning, should the opportunity arise.
