One day after bringing back Craig Kimbrel, perhaps the greatest closer in franchise history, the struggling Atlanta Braves have designated the veteran reliever for assignment. The club recalled left-hander Austin Cox in a corresponding move.

The Atlanta Braves called Craig Kimbrel up from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier this week, but his stint with the team didn't last long.

Unlike Tom Glavine, Craig Kimbrel at least got to pitch one more time for the Braves before abruptly being shown the door. Kimbrel will forever be recognized as one of the greatest relievers in Braves history.
