Braves re-signed RHP Joe Jiménez to a three-year, $26 million contract.
The deal, which is official, will keep Jiménez from reaching the open market this offseason and make him a central component of the Braves’ high-leverage mix through 2026. The 28-year-old right-hander, who was acquired last December from the Tigers in exchange for a pair of prospects, compiled a strong 3.04 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 73/14 K/BB ratio across 56 1/3 innings (59 appearances) this season in his Atlanta debut.
