Former Atlanta Braves closer Craig Kimbrel is set to rejoin the club where it all began after the nine-time All-Star was recalled to the Braves from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Kimbrel, 37, spent his first five major league seasons with the Braves, collecting 186 saves while leading the National League in the category for four seasons.

In a series of moves, the Braves traded right-hander Scott Blewett to the Baltimore Orioles for cash. Left-hander Dylan Dodd also was recalled from Triple-A, while right-hander Daysbel Hernandez was placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm inflammation.

The move to bolster the bullpen with Kimbrel comes one day after the Braves allowed seven runs in the ninth inning of an 11-10 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks .
