Jimenez was recalled from Triple-A on Monday.
With the Tigers' bullpen struggling to begin the year, Detroit will call up the highly regarded prospect, who is considered the team's closer of the future. The 22-year-old has made two appearances at Triple-A, allowing two hits and two walks with three strikeouts over two innings. Jimenez will take the spot of Bruce Rondon, who was optioned to Toledo on Monday.
