In 2013, Jiménez was transferred to Chiapas.
América
The goalkeeper depth chart was depleted after Moisés Muñoz and Hugo González Durán were transferred out to their respective teams. After Club América signed Agustín Marchesín, Jiménez was signed on as the backup goalkeeper.
After Marchesin departed to FC Porto, Jiménez later became the first choice goalkeeper for the team until his role was taken over by Guillermo Ochoa.
