  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Atlanta released Jimenez on Monday. Jimenez was in camp with Atlanta as a non-roster invitee and struggled in three appearances this spring, allowing two runs with a 1:5 K:BB while recording just three outs. It's not clear whether he opted out of his contract or if he was cut by Atlanta, but either way, Jimenez is now a free agent.

• Dany Jimenez: Headed to free agency

  11/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Athletics non-tendered Jimenez on Friday. The 30-year-old Jimenez will hit free agency after spending the last three seasons with the Athletics' organization, splitting time between the majors and Triple-A Las Vegas. In 2024, he posted a 4.13 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 24 innings in Triple-A while registering a 4.91 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 25.2 frames in the majors. Jimenez should garner interest from teams looking to add right-handed bullpen depth.

  The Athletics optioned Jimenez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday. Jimenez has given up six earned runs in two innings over his last two appearances, so the A's will now send him to Triple-A in order to get back on track.

• Athletics' Dany Jimenez: Takes loss in IL return

  08/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Jimenez (1-3) took the extra-inning loss to the Giants on Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits over one inning. He struck out three. Jimenez was thrown right into the mix following his activation from the IL earlier in the day, as he was called on to preserve a 1-1 tie in the 10th after closer Mason Miller had handled the ninth. Jimenez immediately faltered by surrendering a two-run home run to Jerar Encarnacion with Matt Chapman aboard, and he followed it up by conceding a solo shot to the very next batter, Michael Conforto. The right-hander then bore down to record three consecutive swinging strikeouts, but the damage was done. Despite the long-ball issues in his return, Jimenez has typically been one of the most trusted later-inning options in Oakland's bullpen over the last two-plus seasons, and he's therefore likely to continue seeing plenty of hold opportunities, at minimum.
