Career
Toronto Blue Jays
Jiménez with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2012 spring training
Jiménez was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 9th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft. After signing with the team, he was assigned to the Gulf Coast League Blue Jays and played in 19 games during the 2008 season, batting .191 with five RBI. In 2009, Jiménez was promoted to the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts and recorded a batting average of .263, in addition to hitting three home runs and 31 RBI. Jiménez played for Lansing, as well as the High-A Dunedin Blue Jays in the 2010 season, hitting a combined .299 with five home runs and 55 RBI over 72 games. His entire 2011 season was played with Dunedin, where he hit .303 with four home runs and 52 RBI in 102 games played.
Jiménez was promoted to the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats in 2012 but played only 27 games that season, hitting .257, before undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. He was added to the Blue Jays' 40-man roster on November 20, 2012. In 2013, Jiménez played for Dunedin initially, batting .429 in nine games, before being promoted to New Hampshire. In 50 games with the Fisher Cats, he batted .276 with three home runs and 29 RBI. Jiménez was selected to appear in the 2013 All-Star Futures Game, and was promoted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on August 17, 2013. He batted .233 in eight games with the Bisons in 2013. While it was believed that he would be called up to Toronto for the September roster expansion, irritation in his surgically-repaired right elbow ruled him out for the rest of the season. Jiménez started the 2014 campaign with the Fisher Cats, and was promoted to the Bisons on May 26. He was placed on the disabled list on August 5, and activated on August 27.
