Mets Designate Veteran Reliever Craig Kimbrel for Assignment

The New York Mets have designated 37-year-old veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel for assignment after 14 appearances. The move clears a roster spot for pitching prospect Jonah Tong as the team pivots toward younger talent following an injury to Clay Holmes. Kimbrel struggled with the Mets, leading to his status as a roster casualty. While manager Carlos Mendoza has not officially closed the door on a future return, his tenure with the organization ends as the team adjusts its pitching depth.
