He most recently pitched in the big leagues in 2015, when he posted a 3.13 ERA with 25 strikeouts across 23.0 innings. If a team opts to pick him up, he'll likely serve organizational depth.

EDGE Analysis

It appeared that Jimenez was planning to leave the majors for a chance to play a more prominent role in an Italian baseball league, but he now has the choice to stick with the Brewers and possibly make the major league roster.

Seeing as the Brewers currently have one left-hander manning their bullpen, Jimenez has a good shot at making a contribution for the Brewers if he decides to stay in the states.
