Craig Kimbrel to have surgery

Craig Kimbrel is to have surgery on his left knee and should miss three to six weeks. Kimbrel is 1-3 with a 3.55 ERA and 17 saves this season. Newly acquired Brad Ziegler should get the closer's job. (Tim Britton on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact:
The acquisition of Ziegler should have scared Kimbrel owners and the cartilage surgery confirms their fears. Kimbrel has not been the top closer in baseball, as he was drafted as, and this only further depletes his value. Look at him as only a top-10 RP for the rest of the season.
