Dany Jimenez Lands On 15-Day Injured List Tuesday
2 years agoOakland Athletics relief pitcher Dany Jimenez (shoulder) was put on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with a strained right shoulder and pitcher Adam Oller was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move, according to the team. Jimenez is the team's primary closer, but he blew his last save chance on Sunday and has just one save with a 5.40 ERA (8.73 FIP), 1.50 WHIP, six walks and four strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings pitched so far this year. The A's aren't going to give him many save opportunities this year, and now he's on the shelf for at least the next two weeks. At least while Jimenez is out, Trevor May should be the team's primary closer, making him worth a pickup for those that are desperate for saves. May hasn't been much better with a 7.94 ERA, 2.82 WHIP, eight free passes and six K's in 5 2/3 frames.
