Luis

Jimenez

The 32-year-old hasn’t appeared in a major league game since the 2015 season. Since then, he has bounced around from the Korean Baseball Organization and the Mexican League before landing in Japan for 2019 where he slashed .234/.299/.385 with five bombs and 23 RBI in 67 games. He’s nothing more than minor league depth for the D’Backs.

The 24-year-old batted .290/.335/.486 with 18 home runs, 94 RBI and an .821 OPS over 541 plate appearances at the Double-A level last season. He good get a shot off the bench at some point this year for the Angels.

Jimenez, 23, batted .290/.335/.486 with 18 home runs, 94 RBI and an .821 OPS over 541 plate appearances at the Double-A level this season. He hasn’t drawn many walks in the minors, but could have a future with the big club.

Jimenez batted .309/.334/.495 with 16 homers this season at Salt Lake. The 24-year-old might be ready to compete for a big league roster spot next spring.

He’s being sent down to make room for the arrival of Chris Nelson. Jimenez got off to a hot start this season but cooled off considerably since.

It’s unfortunate especially for Rodriguez, as he actually has a pretty decent shot to win a utility job. That said, their absence shouldn’t drag on too long.

The two had been dealing with visa issues. Jimenez is expected to begin the season in the minors, but Rodriguez has a shot to win a bench job with the Halos.

Callaspo hasn’t played since Thursday because of tightness in his right calf. If he doesn’t make ample improvement early this week, the Angels will have no choice. Luis Jimenez has been handling the hot corner.

Callaspo hasn’t played since Thursday because of tightness in his right calf. He’s still listed on the lineup card as an extra, so the Angels aren’t placing him on the disabled list yet. They likely can’t go short-handed much longer, though. Luis Jimenez is playing third base again Monday.

Callaspo is eligible to be activated on Saturday, but obviously he won’t be ready at that time. Luis Jimenez will continue to man the hot corner for the Halos for the next week.
