Atlanta Braves
He subsequently signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves on August 18.[3]
Jaime missed all of the 2010 and 2011 seasons due to Tommy John surgery, returning to baseball in 2012 with High-A Lynchburg.[4] As the team's closer, in 42 appearances, he was 1-3 with a 3.16 ERA and 18 saves, striking out 73 in 51.1 innings.

Jaime began 2014 with Triple-A Gwinnett, where in 27 appearances as the team's closer, he was 1-0 with a 2.39 ERA and 13 saves, striking out 40 in 26.1 innings.
On June 19, 2014, Jaime was called up to Atlanta, replacing the injured Pedro Beato.[5] The next day, he made his major league debut, registering two strikeouts and preserving a tie in one inning of extra inning work against the team that originally signed him, the Washington Nationals.[6]
Jaime was designated for assignment by the Braves on April 13, 2015.[7]
Los Angeles Dodgers
On May 27, 2015, he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers (with Alberto Callaspo, Eric Stults and Ian Thomas) in exchange for Juan Uribe and Chris Withrow.[8] He spent the rest of the season in the Dodgers farm system.
