www.cbssports.comHere are the latest widely reported stats for Craig Kimbrel as of mid-May 2026:
- Team and role: Reliever (closer) for the New York Mets.
- 2026 season (partial): ERA around 6.3, WHIP near 1.59, ~11 appearances with a mix of saves and blown saves; roughly 12–13 strikeouts per 9 innings across limited innings. These figures come from recent MLB team and fantasy outlets that track bullpen usage and closer performance during the 2026 season.
- Career highlights in 2024–2025 context: In 2024 he faced a rough midseason stretch with a higher ERA and WHIP, but rebounded in 2025 with a reduced ERA in limited innings and 23 saves across that season [sources include MLB, ESPN, and fantasy outlets].
Notes on interpretation:
- Kimbrel’s ERA and save opportunities this year reflect a high-leverage bullpen role with recent inconsistencies; expect potential volatility in save chances depending on the Mets’ bullpen health and late-inning matchups.
- For up-to-date box scores, game logs, and advanced metrics (xWoba, barrel rate, etc.), consult current-season pages on MLB.com, Baseball-Reference, or Statcast dashboards.
