Jimenez initially signed with the Blue Jays in 2017 out of Panama, slowly working his way up the organizational ladder. He has been featured among the Blue Jays' top prospect lists in each of his professional seasons, topping out as the 5th-ranked prospect (per MLB Pipeline) in 2022. Known more for his shortstop defence than his offensive game, the right-handed hitter reached the big leagues in 2024, slashing .229/.329/.358 in a 63-game sample.
