Jim Johnson to be Braves setup man

The Braves named Jim Johnson as their setup man today, one day after Craig Kimbrel was sent to San Diego. Johnson has sputtered a bit after finding some semblance of success in Baltimore during the 2012 and 2013 campaigns. (David O'Brien on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson is still trying to find his rhythm and should be left on the waiver wire until he proves he can consistently produce quality results. He is only 31, and the Braves are hoping he finds his groove pretty quickly. He will also serve as closer when Jason Grilli is not available.
