Ginkel's career splits are nearly identical against both sides (.312 OBP vs. righties, .311 vs. lefties), though in 2025 he was more effective against lefties, posting a 90 OPS+ against them compared to 137 OPS+ when facing right-handed hitters. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 24th	Braves reliever Joe Jimenez might not pitch in 2026, as per manager Walt Weiss. Brenton Kemp Wed, Feb 11th
