Joe Jimenez re-signs with Braves for three seasons

Reliever Joe Jimenez has re-signed with the Braves on a three-year contract worth $26 million.

Fantasy Impact

Acquired from the Tigers prior to the 2023 season, Jimenez posted a career-year in his first season in Atlanta. The right-hander worked to a career-best 3.04 ERA across 56 1/3 innings pitched and 59 appearances while striking out 30.7% of the hitters he faced.

Joe Jimenez traded to Atlanta

Joe Jimenez was traded to the Atlanta Braves in return for Justyn-Henry Malloy and Jake Higginbotham.

Fantasy Impact

Jimenez pitched in 62 games in 2022, with the Tigers posting a 3.49 ERA with 77 strikeouts. Jimenez will slot into the back end of the Braves' bullpen and provide nice depth.

Joe Jimenez earns a save

Detroit Tigers right-hander Joe Jimenez threw a scoreless 11th inning to save a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday. He struck out two and did not allow a hit.

Fantasy Impact

Jimenez operated as Detroit's closer at times over the past two seasons but this comes as his first save of 2021. Of course, he was only out there because usual closer Gregory Soto had pitched the ninth and 10th innings. Jimenez has a 4-1 record, 6.31 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 45 strikeouts over 35 2/3 innings.

Joe Jimenez optioned to Triple-A

The Tigers optioned RHP Joe Jimenez to Triple-A.

Fantasy Impact

Jimenez was once viewed as the Tigers' closer of the future, but he has struggled over the years and wasn't sharp this spring. Detroit is expected to use a closer-by-committee to begin 2021.

Joe Jimenez avoids arbitration with Tigers

The Tigers and RHP Joe Jimenez avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.5 million deal.

Fantasy Impact

Jimenez posted an ugly 7.15 ERA last summer across 25 appearances. He'll have to pitch much better if he wants to return to the closer role.
