Jimenez has cleared through waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports.

Jiminez was designated for assignment Monday, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.
The move comes as a response to the Red Sox activating Shane Victorino (hamstring) from the DL on Monday afternoon. Jimenez, who will no longer be on the 40-man roster, will likely move to the Triple-A ranks, where he'll serve primarily as a utility infielder.
Mon May 4 201516:04Jimenez added to major league roster Monday
Jimenez was added to the major league roster Monday.
The move comes as expected after Jimenez was claimed off waivers from the Brewers on Sunday. He figures to serve as a utility infielder and should be able to offer flexibility as the backup option at multiple positions. Reliever Dalier Hinojosa was optioned in a corresponding move to clear the roster spot.
Sun May 3 201518:01Jimenez expected to be added to Red Sox's active roster Monday
Jimenez is expected to be added to the Red Sox's active roster Monday, Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports.
Manager John Farrell said he envisioned Jimenez -- who was plucked off waivers from the Brewers on Sunday -- as a utility infielder capable of seeing action at first, second, and third base. While he doesn't figure to see regular at-bats in a deep Red Sox lineup, his versatility will give the team a little more depth in the infield, where Brock Holt was previously the only player capable of defending three or more spots.

Jimenez was claimed off waivers from the Brewers by the Red Sox on Sunday.
Jimenez was just 1-for-15 at the plate this year in Milwaukee, with Hector Gomez having outplayed him for what will amount to the backup second base job. He'll now get a fresh start in Boston, but playing time will likely be limited in a well-established infield.
Sat May 2 201511:25Jimenez designated for assignment by Brewers
Jimenez has been designated for assignment by the Brewers.
Hector Gomez has outplayed Jimenez since the start of the season, prompting the Brewers to expose Jimenez to waivers and retain Gomez as a bench player while clearing space on the roster for Carlos Gomez to return from the DL. If he clears waivers, Jimenez will try to get on track at Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Jimenez replaced Aramis Ramirez (hamstring) in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
Ramirez was in the original lineup for Friday's game, but he will be unable to go due to a sore hamstring, so Jimenez will man the hot corner in his place. Jimenez will hit eighth against Cubs starter Jon Lester.
Mon Apr 20 201512:14Jimenez 1-3 and scored run in first start with Brewers on Sunday
Jimenez went 1-for-3 and scored a run in his first start with the Brewers on Sunday.
Both the hit and run were the first Jimenez has tallied as a member of the Brewers. His start Sunday came with Aramis Ramirez getting the day off, so he will likely continue to play sparingly off the Brewers' bench.
Sat Apr 4 201515:00Jimenez has made Milwaukee's 25-man roster
Jimenez has made Milwaukee's 25-man roster, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Jimenez will be the primary backup to Aramis Ramirez at third base, but will also be a utility player with the ability to also play first base, second base and left field.

Jimenez is 6-for-34 (.176) with three RBI and three runs scored through 15 games this spring.
Jimenez is struggling to make contact this spring, but his ability to play both first base and third base keeps him in contention for a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster.
Tue Dec 9 201413:23Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said that Jimenez option to back up...
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said that Jimenez is an option to back up at both corner-infield spots, and potentially see time at second base.
When asked about the team's depth options Monday, Roenicke praised Jimenez's defense at third base. Upon being asked if third base is his only viable position, Roenicke indicated that first base -- and even the keystone -- are possibilities as well. Scooter Gennett is expected to receive an opportunity to face left-handed pitching this season, but if he struggles, Jimenez may emerge to fill the platoon partner role that Rickie Weeks held last season. Jimenez will turn 27 in spring training, and he was never been able to carve out a steady role with the Angels despite intriguing numbers at Triple-A Salt Lake. His minor league numbers have been similar at most of his stops, culminating in a .299/.335/.509 mark over eight seasons following a 2014 campaign that included 21 home runs and a 12-for-16 mark as a basestealer.

Tue Sep 2 201418:10Jimenez recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday
Jimenez was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports.
Jimenez will be rewarded for his great season at Salt Lake -- he hit .286/.321/.505 with 21 homers and 12 steals in 117 games -- with a spot on the team's expanded September roster. The 26-year-old went 4-for-25 during a brief stint with the big club in May, and while he may see a few starts here and there at third base, he'll mostly provide depth at the corner infield spots.
