The New York Mets plan to call up veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel ahead of Saturday’s game against the Athletics, although the move has not yet been officially announced. Kimbrel, 37, signed a minor-league deal and showed improved performance during spring training and a recent rehab outing, reaching 94.2 mph with his fastball. This addition will increase his contract value to $2.5 million, bolstering a bullpen that has a 2.85 ERA. Kimbrel has 440 career saves, ranking fifth all-time, but is unlikely to take over as closer from Devin Williams.
