Nicky Delmonico was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in Jimenez's place.
Jimenez is batting .231 with three home runs and eight RBIs in 20 games in his rookie season. He is eligible to return for Friday's series opener against the Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Delmonico has slashed .286/.382/.540 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 17 games for the Knights.
Last season for the Sox, he slashed .215/.296/.373 with eight home runs and 25 RBIs.
