Club career
Giménez started with Atlanta, having joined from Deportivo Armenio.{{cite news|title=Ángel Cequeira y Milton Giménez viajan a la India|url=http://www.previabohemia.com.ar/2016/01/29/sub-23/|accessdate=29 April 2019|work=Previa Bohemia|date=29 January 2016}} He made three appearances off the bench across three seasons to start his career, one in each campaign; he featured as a substitute nine times in the subsequent 2016–17. Midway through that season, Giménez was loaned out to Primera C Metropolitana's Ferrocarril Midland.{{cite news|title=Se va Milton Giménez|url=https://www.mundoascenso.com.ar/noticia/64755-se-va-milton-gimenez|accessdate=29 April 2019|work=Mundo Ascenso|date=21 January 2017}} Five goals in twenty matches occurred.{{cite news|title=Ficha Estadistica de MILTON GIMENEZ|url=http://www.bdfa.com.ar/jugadores-MILTON-GIMENEZ-102449.html|accessdate=29 April 2019|work=BDFA}}{{cite news|title=Milton Giménez viene de marcar para Midland en el picante clásico vs. Merlo y revive el viaje a la India.

On 18 February 2021, Giménez moved up to the Primera División with Central Córdoba; penning a deal until December.{{cite news|title=Milton Giménez, nuevo jugador de Central Córdoba|url=https://www.tycsports.com/liga-profesional-de-futbol/central-cordoba-de-santiago-del-estero-milton-gimenez-id322322.html|accessdate=19 February 2021|work=TyC Sports|date=18 February 2021}}
