Setup reliever Joe Jimenez underwent surgery to repair cartilage in his left knee on Oct. 29 and will require eight to 12 months to recover, reports The Athletic's David O'Brien.

Braves reliever Joe Jiménez is expected to miss much of the 2025 season and possibly all of it after surgery to repair cartilage in his left knee.

The Atlanta Braves exercised a $16 million option on Marcell Ozuna’s contract for next season but declined an $8 million option on Travis d’Arnaud, making the veteran catcher a free agent and providing another indication they’re preparing to make at least one big free-agent signing.

In what appears to be one of the easier decisions for the offseason as far as the Atlanta Braves are concerned, they have apparently made their choice on one their biggest club contract option of the offseason.
