Craig Kimbrel: Breaking News

Kimbrel (wrist) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Kimbrel had made only one appearance for the Rays before going down with a right wrist strain at the end of May. It's unclear whether the club will ask him to make any rehab appearances first, but Kimbrel looks to be on track for activation from the 15-day injured list when first eligible June 12.

Kimbrel (wrist) threw a bullpen session Saturday and is close to facing hitters, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Kimbrel landed on the 15-day injured list May 31 due to a right wrist strain. However, the veteran right-hander expressed confidence Saturday that he'll be ready to be reinstated from the IL when eligible June 12. Kimbrel signed a major-league deal with the Rays on May 26, four days after being designated for assignment by the Mets.

The Rays placed Kimbrel on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to May 28, due to a right wrist strain. It's unclear when exactly he sustained the injury, but Kimbrel last took the mound Tuesday in Baltimore, where he fired a scoreless inning. The veteran right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated from the IL on June 12, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.
