He was non-tendered by the A\u2019s in November and signed a minor league deal with Atlanta back in mid-January.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old Jimenez appeared in three spring games for Atlanta but only totaled one inning. He faced ten batters, walked five of them and allowed a pair of runs to score. He was never a likely candidate to make the roster, but he\u2019ll now look for new opportunities rather than head to Triple-A Gwinnett. The Braves selected <strong>Hector Neris<\/strong> and <strong>Enyel De Los Santos<\/strong> earlier this week, adding to a bullpen that was already anchored by several notable veterans (<strong>Raisel Iglesias<\/strong>, <strong>Pierce Johnson<\/strong>, <strong>Aaron Bummer<\/strong>, <strong>Dylan Lee<\/strong>). Atlanta\u2019s general bullpen depth didn\u2019t leave a particularly strong path toward earning a big league look.<\/p>\n<p>Jimenez posted a 3.43 ERA in 57 2\/3 big league innings from 2022-23 despite a pedestrian 23% strikeout rate and bloated 13.4% walk rate. His strike-throwing woes intensified in 2024, when Jimenez walked more than 16% of his opponents en route to a 4.91 earned run average across 25 2\/3 frames. His average fastball also fell off noticeably, per Statcast, falling from his career-high 93.9 mph in 2022 to 92.5 mph in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Given the down year in 2024 and the pronounced struggles when he got his few looks in big league camp with Atlanta, Jimenez will likely be limited to a minor league deal wherever he lands. He does have two option years and another four seasons of club control remaining, but he\u2019d need to pitch his way onto a 40-man roster with a nice performance in Triple-A before those factors much of a consideration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>View Comments (2)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Braves released former A&#8217;s right-hander Dany Jimenez, who&#8217;d signed a minor league deal back in January.
