Jimenez was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Thursday's game against the Twins.
This comes as somewhat of a surprise, as the highly regarded prospect threw a scoreless inning during his only big-league appearance after being called up earlier in the week. The Tigers purchased the contract of William Cuevas, who will take Jimenez's spot on the 25-man roster and give the Tigers a long-relief option, something much needed after an 11-5 loss to the Twins depleted Detroit's bullpen. He'll be someone to keep an eye on moving forward, as the 22-year-old is seen by many as the team's closer of the future.
