The recovery of Atlanta Braves setup man Joe Jiménez hit a bit of a snag. Manager Brian Snitker said the right-hander has been shut down from throwing recently due to discomfort in his knee.
Snitker said he had been progressing well down in North Port, Fla., before the setback occurred. The goal is to let the knee “catch up” and give it a chance to rest a bit.
There was no mention of how it can impact his timeline. He has been back to throwing for some time before this update game.
Jiménez is recovering from a knee surgery he underwent toward the beginning of the offseason.
