Jimenez (shoulder) allowed an earned run on two hits and a walk over one inning during Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Salt Lake on Thursday in the second game of a doubleheader.
Jimenez got the start and fired 11 of his 16 pitches for strikes in his first game action since April 16. Assuming he has no issues with his shoulder afterward, he could make another appearance for the Aviators before the weekend is out, although the A's have no real incentive to accelerate his recovery and get him back into the big-league bullpen quickly.
