Eloy Jiménez - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting down Thursday Jimenez isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Jimenez will get a day to rest Thursday after going 8-for-15 with four RBI over his last four games. His absence will put Anthony Santander into the DH role while Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn start across the outfield.

Pushing for everyday role Jimenez will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Jimenez was widely expected to fill the short side platoon of a platoon DH when the Orioles acquired him from the White Sox on July 30, but the 27-year-old appears to have pushed his way into a near-everyday role, at least while he's swinging a hot bat. He'll be picking up his fourth consecutive start -- including his third in a row against a right-hander (Bowden Francis) -- after going 6-for-12 with a double and two RBI to begin his tenure with the Orioles. Meanwhile, the lefty-hitting Cedric Mullins will head to the bench for the second game in a row.

Racks up three hits in win Jimenez went 3-for-5 with a double and one RBI in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Guardians.

Impact Jimenez has gone 5-for-9 with two RBI over three contests since he was traded from the White Sox to the Orioles. He started against a right-hander (Gavin Williams) in Sunday's contest, which suggests Ryan O'Hearn could occasionally move to first base against righties, which could cost Ryan Mountcastle some playing time. Jimenez is at a .252/.306/.357 slash line with five home runs, 18 RBI, 18 runs scored, 10 doubles and three stolen bases over 68 games this year.

Moving to Baltimore The Orioles acquired Jimenez from the White Sox on Tuesday for an unspecified return, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jimenez has a .240/.297/.345 slash line in the final guaranteed year of his contract, and Chicago was finally able to offload what little remains of that deal. He also has a $16.5 million club option with a $3 million buyout for 2025. Jimenez won't significantly move the needle for the Orioles, but he could see some starts against left-handed pitching since primary designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn typically starts versus righties.

JULY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Wednesday Jimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Jimenez experienced a brief scare when he experienced some soreness in his hamstring in his first game back from the injured list in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers, but he proceeded to serve as the White Sox's designated hitter in both of the first two games of the series with the Dodgers. He went 2-for-9 between the two contests, smacking a double while driving in a run. Jimenez didn't report any setbacks with the hamstring coming out of either game against the Dodgers, so he's likely just getting a planned day off Wednesday.

Three-game hitting streak Jimenez went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Jimenez started in his third consecutive game since being activated from the injured list Sunday, and he has one hit in each contest. His performance Tuesday marked his first extra-base hit in that span, and he also has one RBI and one run scored. Jimenez has hit either third or fourth in every game since his return.

Impact Jimenez made his return to the lineup Sunday after missing a month with a left hamstring strain, and he now appears to be dealing with a potential setback. The White Sox are set to launch a three-game series at home versus the Dodgers on Monday and the 27-year-old's status is worth monitoring.

Could return Monday White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Saturday that Jimenez (hamstring) could be reinstated off the injured list as soon as Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times report...

Impact Grifol noted that Jimenez is "up to 90 [percent] running, he's passed the test" when it comes to his left hamstring strain. Jimenez began his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 13, and across six outings he's gone 8-for-18 with one double, one home run and five RBI. Jimenez was one a five-game hitting streak and slashed .286/.359/.457 over his last 10 major-league games before the injury.

Soft-tissue injuries continue to plague Jimenez, who also missed time with an adductor strain earlier this season.
