Wed May 27 201517:06Jaime assigned to extended spring training
Jaime was assigned to extended spring training, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Prior to being traded to the Dodgers in a six-player deal, Jaime was demoted twice by Atlanta, first from the majors to Triple-A then from Triple-A down to Double-A. The right-hander will start back at square one with his new club, likely tweaking his mechanics in hopes of improving his control.
Wed May 27 201502:28Jaime headed to Dodgers along with Alberto Callaspo
Jaime is headed to the Dodgers along with Alberto Callaspo, Ian Thomas, and Eric Stults in a trade that sends Juan Uribe and Chris Withrow to the Braves, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.
Jaime owns a whopping 359 strikeouts in 251.1 big league innings, but he also owns a whopping 177 walks over that span. The Dodgers will try to harness his stuff, but given his lack of control and the bullpen depth at the top level, it seems unlikely he makes much of an impact in the majors this season.

Jaime cleared waivers Friday and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's David O'Brien reports.

Jaime was designated for assignment by the Braves on Monday.
Jaime entered the season a candidate to eventually receive saves following the departure of Craig Kimbrel, but two poor showings to begin the season led to his designation for assignment Monday. The Braves recalled Sugar Ray Marimon to take his place, rounding out the Braves' bullpen.

Jaime could be a possibility to close down the line after Craig Kimbrel was traded to San Diego, GM John Hart told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Jim Johnson and Jason Grilli are the leading candidates to take over the closer role with Kimbrel gone and the team hasn't announced a decision. Jaime made the 25-man roster and will work in middle relief, but Hart's comments are worth remembering in case neither Grilli or Johnson can keep the closer role.

Jaime was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Jaime enjoyed a successful tenure in the major league bullpen earlier this season (two earned runs, 13 strikeouts in eight innings), although his struggles with command persisted. The 27-year-old really struggled to find the strikezone with consistency at Gwinnett, walking 36 batters in 41 innings, and manager Fredi Gonzalez will likely be quick to give him the hook if the right-hander is looking wild early in an appearance.
