One rehab appearance likely Jimenez (shoulder) played catch again before Friday's game against the Astros, and manager Mark Kotsay noted the right-hander will likely need at least one rehab appearance, the As...
Impact Jimenez has progressed to throwing out to 90 feet in recent days and has apparently been able to engage in multiple throwing sessions without setback. Consequently, the brief rehab assignment Kotsay alluded to could well be imminent, and it's possible Jimenez even logs multiple appearances in the minors considering he's been sidelined since June 21.

Throwing out to 90 feet Jimenez (shoulder) has progressed to throwing out to 90 feet this week, but he still needs to be stretched out over the next 7-10 days, the Associated Press reports.
Impact The right-hander has made steady progress over the last few days, considering he hadn't picked up a ball during his recovery until Monday. Even though Jimenez appears to have made up some ground quickly, this report implies the Athletics will remain cautious with him with respect to an activation date. There's likely a chance Jimenez is sent on a brief rehab assignment as well, given he went on the injured list June 21.

Plays catch Monday Jimenez (shoulder) played catch for the first time in his recovery process Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander has been on the injured list since June 21, and Monday's development naturally represents a significant benchmark. How Jimenez's shoulder responds to Monday's activity will determine how much of a ramp-up his throwing program is subject to over the coming days.

Could start throwing next week Oakland team trainer Nick Paparesta said Wednesday that Jimenez (shoulder) could resume throwing as soon as next week, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Though an MRI on Jimenez's strained right shoulder revealed no structural damage, he hasn't been cleared to resume baseball activities since landing on the injured list June 21. The right-hander is expected to take part in plyometric work later this week, and if the shoulder responds well to the activity, he could be cleared to start playing catch off flat ground. Even so, Jimenez looks as though he'll require more than the minimum 15 days to make it back from the IL, giving other relievers on the Oakland roster a chance to close games. Lou Trivino has been manager Mark Kotsay's preferred option thus far, with the 30-year-old having notched saves in back-to-back appearances Saturday and Sunday.

Avoids structural damage Jimenez, who was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Tuesday with a strained right shoulder, had an MRI come back clean, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander isn't dealing with any structural damage to his shoulder, though it remains unclear exactly how long he'll be sidelined. Manager Mark Kotsay plans to close out games in the near future based on matchups, with righty Zach Jackson and lefty A.J. Puk being the skipper's primary options.

Shut down with shoulder strain The Athletics placed Jimenez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The injury is a tough break for the rookie reliever, who has emerged as Oakland's closer this season with 11 saves in 13 opportunities. As a result of his placement on the IL, Jimenez won't be eligible to return until July 4, and it's possible his absence lingers beyond that if he isn't cleared to resume throwing within the next few days. While Jimenez is on the shelf, A.J. Puk, Domingo Acevedo and Zach Jackson represent potential candidates to pick up saves.

Earns save Thursday Jimenez allowed a hit and no walks while failing to strike out a batter in 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.
Impact Jimenez blew a save Friday and pitched in a non-save situation Saturday, but he was called upon to preserve Oakland's one-run lead during Thursday's matchup. The right-hander has posted a 16.50 ERA and 2.33 WHIP in six innings over his last seven outings, and he converted his first save since May 25 during Thursday's appearance. In spite of his recent struggles, Jimenez still appears to be the favorite for closing duties in the Athletics' bullpen.
