After a disastrous 2017 season, Jimenez was named to the American League All-Star team. In his second season of Major League Baseball, he has rebounded to post a 2.85 ERA in 41 innings, with 46 strikeouts to 12 walks. He has also recorded 13 holds, which would be a career high for a reliever. In addition to his stellar statistics, Jimenez has been a valuable addition to the Tigers’ bullpen in his role as closer.
