## Resource

Joe Jiménez, the Braves’ veteran pitcher sidelined for two years by knee surgeries, took a powerful step forward Friday—throwing live batting practice at Truist Park. After three procedures since 2024 and moments when he feared his career was over, Jiménez now feels hopeful again, buoyed by teammates’ support and an emotional rehab milestone. Manager Walt Weiss praised his resilience, noting how far he’s come mentally and physically. Though a regular-season return this year seems unlikely, an instructional league appearance could be next—offering vital game experience as Jiménez rebuilds toward his future in baseball.
