Jimenez Throwing Bullpens But 2025 Return Remains Unlikely
The reliever has resumed throwing after a period where his career was in doubt, though a return this season is still considered a long shot.
Joe Jimenez recently resumed throwing bullpen sessions after a serious injury that left his career in question just a couple of months ago. While the progress is encouraging, a return during the current season is still considered unlikely. The development offers hope that Jimenez may eventually return to pitching at the MLB level. His status should be monitored as a potential roster factor later in the year.
