Leo Jimenez

24-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Toronto Blue Jays
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jimenez opened the season with Triple-A Buffalo where he posted a .847 OPS, fueled by a high .416 OBP. He was summoned in early July, appearing in 63 games over the final three months of the season. There were stretched where Jimenez was the regular shortstop and second baseman. His on base skills didn't translate to the bigs as he fanned almost twice as much while walking half as much as he did in the minors. With limited power, and even less speed, Jimenez needs to get on base to generate any fantasy goodness. He's still just 24 years old, so Jimenez can improve, but he still profiles best as a reserve infielder, capable of playing second base, third base and shortstop. Even so, until he shows he can get on base on a consistent basis, Jimenez isn't even in the AL-only mix. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays in March of 2025.
Summoned from Triple-A
SSToronto Blue Jays
July 1, 2025
The Blue Jays recalled Jimenez from Triple-A Buffalo, and he will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Analysis
With Bo Bichette tending to a knee injury and considered day-to-day, Jimenez will move up to the big leagues to provide some added depth in the middle infield. Though Jimenez will be thrust into the lineup right away Tuesday, Ernie Clement could end up serving as the Blue Jays' primary option at shortstop if Bichette ends up requiring a stint on the injured list. Jimenez posted a .687 OPS over 63 games for Toronto in 2024 but has played exclusively in the minors so far this season and slashed .271/.417/.333 over 60 plate appearances with Buffalo prior to his call-up.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Prime opportunity for playing time
SSToronto Blue Jays
July 20, 2024
Jimenez is starting at shortstop Saturday against the Tigers and should have a regular role after Bo Bichette was placed on the injured list with a calf strain.
Analysis
Jimenez saw some extra playing time ahead of the All-Star break after Bichette first suffered the injury, and Bichette aggravated the injury Friday versus Detroit. Jimenez has showcased his potential in his first nine big-league games, as he's gone 8-for-23 with two doubles, an RBI, four runs and a 3:6 BB:K. If he continues to perform well while Bichette is sidelined, Jimenez could force his way into the lineup down the stretch with the Blue Jays unlikely to be contending for a playoff spot.
