The Red Sox claimed infielder Luis Jimenez off waivers from the Brewers, the team announced on Sunday.
Jimenez was designated for assignment by Milwaukee after opening the season with a .067 average.
To make room for Jimenez on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox moved catcher Ryan Hanigan from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. Hanigan is sidelined with a hand injury.
