The Atlanta Braves designated nine-time All-Star reliever Craig Kimbrel for assignment on Saturday.

Kimbrel, 37, made his season debut Friday night and allowed one hit in a scoreless seventh inning in Atlanta\'s 5-4, 10-inning loss at San Francisco. The right-hander had one walk and one strikeout and threw 14 pitches.

Kimbrel, who began his career in Atlanta in 2010, was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to Friday\'s game against the Giants. He signed a minor league deal with the Braves in March.
