JOE JIMÉNEZ NEWS

Earns win Saturday Jimenez (3-1) picked up the win over the Tigers in the second game of Saturday's twin bill, allowing an unearned run on one hit while striking out two over two innings.

Impact Jimenez pitched a scoreless seventh but was a bit wild the following frame in extras. He started off by hitting Nelson Cruz and then eventually allowed the Twins to take the lead on a wild pitch. Fortunately for him, the Tigers were able to walk it off in the bottom half, which awarded him his third win of the year and his first since June 14. The 26-year-old has had his fair share of struggles this season with a 7.54 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and a 28:21 K:BB over 22.2 innings.

Earns win in relief Jimenez (2-0) earned the win in relief Monday against the Royals after not allowing a run across two-thirds of an inning, striking out one.

Impact Jimenez entered the game in the third inning after Alex Lange left the game with shoulder discomfort, and he recorded the final two outs of the inning with ease -- needing just seven pitches -- to claim his second victory of the campaign. The right-hander now has four straight scoreless outings and seems to be trending in the right direction once again.

Recalled by Tigers Jimenez was recalled by the Tigers on Saturday.

Impact Jimenez was sent to the Tigers' alternate training site in late April but will now return to the major-league bullpen after right-hander Erasmo Ramirez (chest) was placed on the injured list. Jimenez gave up five runs on no hits and seven walks while striking out two in one inning across two relief appearances to begin the year.

Optioned to alternate camp Jimenez was optioned to the Tigers' alternate training site following the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jimenez has gotten off to a rough start this year and allowed five runs on no hits and seven walks while striking out two in one inning across two relief appearances. He'll now head to the team's alternate camp to sort things out. The move will make room for Spencer Turnbull, who was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday ahead of his scheduled start in the second game of the twin bill.

Off to rough start Jimenez allowed two earned runs on four walks while retiring just two batters in Saturday's loss to the Athletics. He struck out one.

Impact Since being recalled on Thursday, Jimenez has made two appearances, and he's allowed five earned runs across just one inning of work. Walks have been the biggest problem for the righty, as he's issued a whopping seven free passes out of 10 batters faced. Jimenez is going to have pitch a lot better if he wants to stick in the majors. He should continue to work in a low-leverage role for the Tigers for now.

Recalled by Tigers Jimenez was recalled by the Tigers on Thursday.

Impact Jimenez failed to break camp with the Tigers this year but will join the major-league bullpen after outfielder Nomar Mazara (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. The right-hander led the Tigers with five saves in 2020, but it's not yet clear whether he'll factor into the late-inning mix for Detroit in the near future.

Tigers 2021 roster appears set; Joe Jimenez optioned to Triple-A Toledo Barring any late waivers claims, this is the team manager AJ Hinch will take to Detroit.

MARCH 27, 2021 • DETROITNEWS.COM

Headed to Triple-A Jimenez was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Impact Jimenez closed out nine games in 2019 and led the Tigers with five saves in last year's shortened season, but he will not be part of the late-inning mix to open the 2021 campaign and will not even break camp with the big club. Jimenez figures to be called up at some point this season, but he presumably will need to show some results before being considered for save opportunities again.

Mostly solid so far Jimenez has allowed one earned run across 2.2 innings so far in Grapefruit League action. He's given up two hits and two walks while striking out two.

Impact Jimenez put zeroes on the board in his first two spring outings but hit a rough patch Saturday, allowing three runs (one earned) on a hit, a hit batter and two walks while recording just two outs. The righty has been known for his inconsistency the past few seasons, so it'd be nice to see him string together a few better outings after Saturday's dud. Jimenez is potentially in the mix to close for Detroit, though Gregory Soto and Bryan Garcia are likely ahead of him in the pecking order at this point. Jimenez led the Tigers with five saves in six opportunities last season, though he also posted a 7.15 ERA across 22.2 innings.

Tigers reliever Joe Jimenez: 'My arm feels amazing' Tigers beat reporter Chris McCosky talks to reliever Joe Jimenez about Jimenez's off-season improvements.

FEBRUARY 19, 2021 • DETROITNEWS.COM

Option to close Jimenez is one of several options to close out games for the Tigers to begin the season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It once seemed Jimenez was destined to take the closer role in Detroit and run with it, but the 26-year-old has endured some struggles, including a 7.37 ERA across 22.2 innings last season. The Tigers have a new manager in A.J. Hinch, so it might be a clean slate of sorts for Jimenez, but he'll need a strong spring to overtake the likes of Gregory Soto and Bryan Garcia in the bullpen pecking order.
