Jimenez will miss three to four weeks because of a fractured right ring finger, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Jimenez was acquired from Detroit last July for Chris Paddack. He hit just .250 with a .773 OPS in 48 games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League but batted .269 with a .982 OPS for Single-A Fort Myers in 23 games after the trade. He'll likely have a delayed start to the minor-league season, but he is worth tracking due to his strong play after joining the Twins organization.

Twins' Enrique Jimenez: Traded to Twins
Rotowire
The Twins acquired Jimenez from the Tigers on Monday in exchange for right-handers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
The Tigers will get some rotation help while the Twins get a lottery ticket in Jimenez, who has slashed .250/.339/.440 with six home runs this season in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 19-year-old is primarily a catcher but has also spent time at first base.
