PHILADELPHIA — Juan Jaime cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, meaning the erratic reliever with the triple-digit fastball will still have a chance to show the Braves whether he can produce at a level consistent enough to warrant a spot again on the major league roster.
The stocky right-hander was designated for assignment on April 13, a day after he walked three batters and gave up the winning run while recording just one out in a 4-3 loss to the Mets that ended the Braves’ season-opening five-game winning streak. He had a .571 opponents’ on-base percentage in two appearances despite not giving up a hit.
