Joe Jimenez Throws First Bullpen Since Knee Surgery
Atlanta Braves reliever Joe Jimenez (knee) threw his first bullpen session this past week, since undergoing offseason knee surgery. The right-handed pitcher also claimed that he would do his best to convince the team to let him pitch before the end of this season. Last November, he had cartilage removed from his left knee and was given a recovery timeline of 8-to-12 months before being able to return. Given that this bullpen session took place eight months after his operation, it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that he can return late in September. There are still many hurdles to clear before Jimenez can return and provide the Braves another option out of the bullpen.
