2 years agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated closer Craig Kimbrel from the paternity list on Friday and optioned right-hander Mitch White to the minors in a corresponding move. Kimbrel went on paternity leave on Tuesday. In his absence, reliever Daniel Hudson picked up one save, but Kimbrel will now return to the ninth-inning role for Los Angeles. The 34-year-old has had some mechanical issues and hasn't been perfect in 2021, as he has a 4.00 ERA, but he also has a 2.26 FIP, 25 strikeouts and 11 saves in 18 relief innings in his first year with the Dodgers. The hard-throwing right-hander is still the closer for one of the best teams in baseball. Return Kimbrel to your lineups.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
