Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays in March of 2026.
Removed from 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Jimenez for assignment Wednesday.
Analysis
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.

Stat Review
How does Leo Jimenez compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Added pressure in spring training
Jimenez will face more competition for a reserve spot on Toronto's Opening Day roster after the Blue Jays claimed Ben Cowles off waivers from the Cubs on Wednesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Jimenez's path to a spot on the Blue Jays' roster appeared clear after it was announced Feb. 10 that Anthony Santander would miss approximately 5-to-6 months while recovering from left shoulder surgery. Santander's absence means Addison Barger would likely operate in right field to open the season, which opens a depth spot in the infield for Jimenez behind Ernie Clement, Andres Gimenez and Kazuma Okamoto. Cowles has yet to see major-league action since being drafted by the Yankees in the 10th round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft. However, he did spend the entire 2025 season in Triple-A, which makes him direct competition for Jimenez.
