Dany Jiménez Stats

Oakland Athletics reliever Dany Jimenez was placed on the 60-day IL on Saturday with a right shoulder strain, effectively ending his season. The right-hander missed a month and a half with an injury to his throwing shoulder already this year, but the club has yet to state if he'll need any offseason procedures to help get him back to full health. Jimenez led the team with 11 saves to go along with a 3.41 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 34 K through 34 1/3 IP to give fantasy managers who waited on relievers on draft day some waiver wire value. Zach Jackson and A.J. Puk who have collected three saves apiece already this year will likely split save opportunities moving forward.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Dany Jimenez (shoulder) pitched one inning in a minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and struck out the side without allowing a hit or a walk. Jimenez threw 16 pitches in his first minor league outing while he recovers from a right shoulder strain that put him on the injured list in late June. Before his injury, Jimenez was the team's primary closer in Oakland, so he should return to the ninth-inning role once he's ready. There's a chance he'll be reinstated from the injured list at some point this weekend. Before his injury, the 28-year-old had a 4.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 11 saves and 23 strikeouts in 24 2/3 relief innings in 2022. Lou Trivino has been filling in as the A's closer with Jimenez out.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Dany Jimenez (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. This will be his first bullpen session since landing on the injured list with a right shoulder strain in mid-June. A's manager Mark Kotsay stated that Jimenez will begin a rehab assignment "when he's ready." Translation: we still don't have much of a timeline for the 28-year-old. Jimenez emerged as the team's top closer early on this year. He converted each of his first 10 save chances from the start of the season until late May, but he fell apart after that. He gave up a total of 11 earned runs over his final 6.1 innings prior to landing on the injured list, blowing two saves and accumulating three losses along the way.
