Craig Kimbrel tossed a scoreless ninth inning Thursday against the Giants for his 100th career save.
Kimbrel blew saves in three out of his last five opportunities, but there wasn't much drama in this one. While the hard-throwing right-hander gave up a two-out double to Brandon Crawford, he was able to get Brandon Belt to ground out to first to end it and lock down a 6-3 victory. We're confident that his recent rough patch will turn out to be a blip.
May 10 - 1:46 AM
Craig Kimbrel blew his third save of the season on Tuesday, allowing two solo home runs as the Braves fell to the Reds.
The loss was Kimbrel's first of the season, but more concerning is the fact that the fireballer has now blown three of his last five save opportunities. After registering two strikeouts to start the inning, Kimbrel allowed a pinch-hit home run to Devin Mesoraco before Shin-Soo Choo hit his second home run of the night to end the game. Kimbrel has allowed three home runs on the season after allowing just three all of last year. A few chinks in the armor doesn't mean Kimbrel should lose his title as the best closer in the game, but it's at least worth watching to see if his struggles continue in the weeks ahead.
May 7 - 11:37 PM
Craig Kimbrel blew his second save of the season Friday against the Mets.
Kimbrel entered the top of the ninth with a one-run lead, but he gave up a long game-tying homer to David Wright and the Mets eventually won it in extras. It was the first home run allowed by the hard-throwing right-hander since August 31 of last season, a span of 25 appearances. Hey, it happens. He should be fine.
May 3 - 11:18 PM
Craig Kimbrel blew his first save of the season Wednesday in the Braves' extra-innings loss to the Rockies.
Even the best of the best have bad days. Kimbrel gave up a double to Jonathan Herrera, a single to Troy Tulowitzki, then a two-run double to Dexter Fowler, squandering Atlanta's ninth-inning 5-3 lead. Colorado won it in the bottom of the 12th. Kimbrel is now 8-for-9 in save opportunities this season with a 1.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 14/3 K/BB ratio in 9 2/3 innings.

Blake DeWitt
D.L.
Braves placed INF Blake DeWitt on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain.
DeWitt appeared in four games with the Braves as a utility infielder. He should be optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett once he's deemed healthy enough to return.

Brandon Beachy
D.L.
Brandon Beachy (elbow) will make his first official minor league rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett.
Beachy was cleared after he threw 29 pitches over two innings Tuesday during a start in extended spring training. He's expected to make around five starts in the minors, which puts him on pace to join the Braves around the anniversary of his Tommy John surgery on June 21. He's well worth stashing in most fantasy leagues.

Jonny Venters
D.L.
Jonny Venters underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Thursday afternoon.
It's the second time he's had the procedure in his baseball career. Venters can now be ruled out for the remainder of the 2013 season and is also likely to miss the first couple months of the 2014 campaign. It's obviously a pretty big loss for the Atlanta bullpen.
May 16

Eric O'Flaherty
D.L.
Braves placed LHP Eric O'Flaherty on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left elbow.
It's not clear yet how long he might be out. O'Flaherty was rocking a 2.50 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 18 innings.
May 18
4
Jordan Walden
D.L.
Braves placed RHP Jordan Walden on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, with right shoulder inflammation.
It's an injury that we hadn't heard about until now, but perhaps we should have known something was up with Walden allowing five runs over his last three appearances (1 1/3 innings). It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined.
May 17

Luis Ayala
D.L.
Braves placed RHP Luis Ayala on the 15-day disabled list with anxiety disorder.
Obviously it's impossible to predict how much time Ayala might miss. David Carpenter has been recalled to take his spot in the bullpen.
Apr 30

Cristhian Martinez
D.L.
Cristhian Martinez (shoulder) still doesn't have a timetable for his return.
The Braves reliever has been sidelined since April 12 with a right shoulder sprain, and apparently it was serious enough that the Braves still don't have any idea when he might be back. The right-hander had a 3.91 ERA with 65 strikeouts in 73 2/3 innings last year.
