Craig Kimbrel is officially back with the team that started it all.

The Braves called him up Thursday after their 11-10 loss to the Diamondbacks, according to a report from the Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. The promotion came on the heels of their bullpen allowing seven runs in the ninth inning.

Raisel Iglesias surrendered three of those runs, including a two-out, two-RBI double that gave the Diamondbacks the lead. It bumped Iglesias, the team’s closer, up to a 6.75 ERA.

And for the first time this season, manager Brian Snitker did not shut down the idea of a potential change in roles.

“We’ll talk about that,” Snitker said. “This is so fresh right now. There’s a thousand things going through my mind, and that’s an option. That’s definitely an option.”
