Rotowire
Jimenez was removed from Wednesday's game against Atlanta with an apparent injury, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
Jimenez took a knee to the head/neck area from Ronald Acuna while the latter was sliding into third base during the sixth inning. Jimenez initially remained in the game but was removed later in the inning when the Marlins made a pitching change. He will presumably be evaluated for a concussion, and the team should provide an update on his status in the near future.

Rotowire
Jimenez (hand) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Giants.
Jimenez was lifted from Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals shortly after being hit on the left hand by a pitch in the second inning, but X-rays came back negative. The 25-year-old felt well enough to enter the lineup Saturday against southpaw Robbie Ray. Jimenez is likely to see limited action while the Marlins' infield is mostly healthy.

Marlins' Leo Jimenez: Negative X-rays on hand

Marlins' Leo Jimenez: Headed to Miami
Rotowire
The Marlins acquired Jimenez from the Blue Jays on Sunday in exchange for infielder Dub Gleed and $250,000 in international bonus pool money, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Jimenez will head to Miami after being designated for assignment by Toronto on Wednesday. The infielder spent most of 2025 at the Triple-A level and has slashed .207/.303/.332 with five home runs and zero steals across 242 career plate appearances in the majors with the Blue Jays. He has no minor-league options remaining, so Jimenez will need to be added to the Marlins' 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the White Sox.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Blue Jays designated Jimenez for assignment Wednesday.
Jimenez had no minor-league options remaining, so after deciding not to include him on their Opening Day roster, the Blue Jays will have to expose the young infielder to the waiver process. The 24-year-old offers a capable glove at three infield spots but hasn't resembled a big-league-caliber hitter over various stints with Toronto over the past two seasons, as he's produced a .207/.303/.332 batting line (85 wRC+) across 242 career plate appearances.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Clear path to Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Jimenez seems likely to have a spot on the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Toronto's infield depth got a little thinner after it was announced that Anthony Santander (shoulder) would miss most of all of the 2026 season, which pushed Addison Barger out of the third-base mix and into right field. Ernie Clement was the team's main utility infielder last year, but with Bo Bichette now a Met, he's stepping into a starting role at second base. That leaves Jimenez as the next man up to handle backup duties at the middle-infield spots. The 24-year-old shown hasn't shown much at the plate, managing a .635 OPS in 242 career big-league plate appearances, and he could be joined on the bench, or even pushed aside, by glove-first prospect Josh Kasevich.

Rotowire
Jimenez (undisclosed) went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run in his return to action for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Demoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Blue Jays optioned Jimenez to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.
Though the Blue Jays brought back Alejandro Kirk (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday, Tyler Heineman is day-to-day with a head injury, so the team will carry a third backstop in Ali Sanchez. As a result, Jimenez ended up being the roster casualty. The 24-year-old infielder had been seeing sparse playing time, making just one start over the previous 10 contests.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Pops first homer of season
Rotowire
Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the A's.
The 24-year-old infielder took Jacob Lopez deep in the second inning for the game's first run. It was Jimenez's first big-league homer this season in eight contests after he popped four in 63 games as a rookie in 2024, but just his second hit in 16 at-bats since his promotion at the beginning of the month. He's been splitting the workload at second base with Ernie Clement while Andres Gimenez (ankle) has been on the shelf, but the Blue Jays have plenty of options to fill that spot if Jimenez doesn't supply more consistent offense.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
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.
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.

The 24-year-old shortstop missed nearly two months to begin the season, but Jimenez appears to be healthy now. He could provide some depth for the big-league infield later in the year if a spot opens up.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Stuck on Triple-A IL
Rotowire
Triple-A Buffalo placed Jimenez on its 7-day injured list March 27 due to an unspecified injury.
Jimenez wasn't known to be nursing an injury during spring training before Toronto optioned the infielder to Triple-A on March 21. The 23-year-old slashed .229/.329/.358 over 210 plate appearances with Toronto in 2024, but he'll have to overcome the injury and will likely need to perform well for extended period at Triple-A before getting another look with the big club.

Rotowire
Jimenez (illness) went 1-for-1 with a walk and a run scored and played four innings at shortstop in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Phillies in Grapefruit League play.
Though Bo Bichette drew the start at shortstop Sunday, Jimenez's ability to come off the bench and play four innings in the field suggests he's healthy again after he had been scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees due to an illness. Jimenez is vying for a utility role after slashing .229/.329/.358 over 210 plate appearances as a rookie with Toronto in 2024.
