The Mets informed Craig Kimbrel he did not make the team's Opening Day roster.

Kimbrel had been competing for one of the final spots in the bullpen for the Mets. It is unclear if he'll report to Triple-A Syracuse or if he'll seek other opportunities.

Kimbrel has a 2.25 ERA across four spring innings but has issued four walks against two strikeouts. Manager Carlos Mendoza has nonetheless been impressed with the late life on his fastball, which sits around 93 mph. "He's doing what he is supposed to be doing," Mendoza said Monday.

Kimbrel is competing with Bryan Hudson, Austin Warren, and Richard Lovelady for the final spot in the Mets' Opening Day bullpen. If he makes the 26-man roster, his base salary would be $2.5 million.

The Mets signed RHP Craig Kimbrel to a minor league contract.

The deal includes an invite to spring training. Kimbrel finished last season posting a 2.45 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 11 innings for the Astros. He'll compete for a spot in the Mets bullpen.

The Houston Astros signed Craig Kimbrel on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The Astros have signed Kimbrel, who was granted his release by the Rangers on Thursday. In the minors this season, he has posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.05 WHIP while converting 8 of 10 save opportunities. He will join the Astros' bullpen but is not expected to receive save opportunities.

Craig Kimbrel will be active for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

Kimbrel signed a minor league deal with the Rangers earlier this week. He'll likely make a handful of appearances in Triple-A before he is called up by the Rangers.
