The Baltimore Orioles have designated relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel for assignment after a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance in the 2024 MLB season. While battling to hold on to a playoff position through the final two weeks of the season, Baltimore will move forward without a pitcher who has 440 career saves.

As Craig Kimbrel’s speed bump turned into a mountain, Seranthony Domínguez took over as the Orioles’ closer and kept the role.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is in hot water amid their team’s recent struggles, including a brutal 0-10 loss to the San Francisco Giants, due in part to Craig Kimbrel’s poor performance, allowing six runs in one outing.
