Gavin Sheets is getting another start at designated hitter Monday.

Day-to-day following MRI Jimenez is considered day-to-day after undergoing an MRI on his left adductor, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Jimenez was hurt while running out a groundball Sunday and did not play in Monday's contest. He has managed to avoid a long-term injury, though, and the White Sox will just play a man short for the time being rather than put Jimenez on the injured list. Gavin Sheets started at designated hitter in Jimenez's place Monday and should draw regular time there against righties.

Could play right field Jimenez is entering the 2024 season healthy and could occasionally play in right field, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jimenez played 120 games in 2023, his highest mark since the 2019 season. However, he posted a career-worst .169 ISO while swatting only 18 home runs. Jimenez is set to hit free agency at the close of the season, so adding some defensive value back into his profile could help his cause on the open market.

MARCH 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for finale Jimenez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

Impact Jimenez will be UTIL-only heading into 2024 in leagues that require 15-plus games to qualify at a position, as he only played 14 games in the outfield this year and 105 at designated hitter. He slashed .272/.317/.441 with 18 home runs, 50 runs and 64 RBI.

OCTOBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blasts three-run homer Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 15-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Jimenez tagged starter Zach Davies for a three-run shot in the first inning, then drove in Chicago's only other run in the second frame, plating Andrew Benintendi on a single. The outfielder has hit safely in 13 of his last 15 appearances, a stretch in which he's batting .308 with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in nightcap Jimenez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 11-10 loss against Kansas City.

Impact Jimenez got the White Sox on the board in the fifth inning with a solo blast off Jordan Lyles, cutting the deficit to 9-1 and jumpstarting an improbable comeback in an eventual one-run Chicago loss. The homer snapped a 14-game power outage for Jimenez, with his last longball coming on Aug. 25. He's now batting .273 on the year with a .763 OPS, 16 homers, 58 RBI and 45 runs scored across 425 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Receives Wednesday off Jimenez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game at Kansas City.

Impact Jimenez started the past 15 games and will hit the bench after he posted a .675 OPS during that stretch. Andrew Vaughn will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Gavin Sheets starts at first base.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs solo homer Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the A's.

Impact Jimenez has started five consecutive games -- all at cleanup -- since returning from a groin injury. He has had an unremarkable stretch since rejoining the lineup, though he did manage his 15th homer of the season and only third since the All-Star break. Jimenez will be a fixture in the lineup assuming health, but he's only been able to suit up for 89 of the team's 129 contests on the campaign.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jumps back into lineup Jimenez is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Jimenez has not appeared in a game since Aug. 15, but he was activated from the paternity list Monday and will jump right back into the lineup. As he regularly does, Jimenez will serve as Chicago's designated hitter and hit cleanup Monday night.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back from paternity list The White Sox reinstated Jimenez (groin) from the paternity list Monday.

Impact Jimenez is back with the team after he spent the weekend away from the White Sox while observing the birth of his child, but since the team has yet to release its lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, it's unclear if he'll be available to play in the series opener. Prior to going on paternity leave, Jimenez sat out last Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs with groin soreness, and he may not be fully recovered from the injury. Whenever he's deemed fully healthy, Jimenez should reclaim duties as the White Sox's everyday designated hitter.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on paternity leave Jimenez (groin) was placed on the paternity leave list Friday.

Impact Jimenez missed Wednesday's series finale against the Cubs due to groin discomfort and will now be away from the White Sox for at least part of their three-game weekend series in Colorado as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. Lenyn Sosa is up from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

More groin discomfort Jimenez is out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Cubs due to renewed groin discomfort, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Jimenez missed a bit of time in mid-July due to left groin tightness and it is apparently bothering him again here in mid-August. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said the 26-year-old slugger is day-to-day. Chicago will be off Thursday before heading out to Colorado for a three-game weekend set against the Rockies.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Jimenez is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Cubs.

Impact Andrew Vaughn will fill the DH role for the White Sox as Gavin Sheets covers first base. Jimenez is slashing just .227/.255/.296 through 47 plate appearances in August.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in loss Jimenez went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Jimenez' third-inning blast off Corbin Burnes was his 13th of the season and first since July 23. His two RBI represent twice as many as he had previously accumulated thus far in August. Jimenez has played in 81 of the White Sox' 123 games and is on pace to play over 100 games for just the second time in his career. He currently has a .283 average with 50 RBI and 34 runs scored to go along with his 13 home runs.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Saturday Jimenez (heel) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Saturday against the Guardians.

Impact Jimenez sat out the past two games due to heel soreness but will rejoin the lineup for Saturday's contest. The 26-year-old has a .314/.364/.431 slash line with three doubles, a homer, seven RBI and four runs in 16 games since the All-Star break.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out due to sore heel Jimenez is out of the lineup Friday at Cleveland due to a sore heel, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact This may be something of a lingering issue for Jimenez, who was limited to pinch-hitting duties in Thursday's series finale against the Rangers. Oscar Colas is serving as Chicago's designated hitter Friday against the Guardians and Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert and Trayce Thompson will start across the outfield.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Friday Jimenez remains out of the lineup Friday at Cleveland.

Impact Jimenez was also on the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Rangers, though he did appear as a pinch hitter. Oscar Colas is filling the DH role for the White Sox on Friday as Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert and Trayce Thompson start across the outfield.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Day off Thursday Jimenez is not in the lineup Thursday at Texas.

Impact Gavin Sheets will fill the DH role for the White Sox and bat seventh versus the Rangers and Max Scherzer. This looks to be a routine day off for Jimenez, who went 1-for-7 with a single and two strikeouts in the first two games of the three-game series.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Sunday Jimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Jimenez started the past nine games after sitting out a few contests with a groin issue, and he'll receive a day off after hitting .400 with a home run, three doubles and seven RBI during that span. Jake Burger will serve as the designated hitter while Elvis Andrus starts at the keystone.

JULY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in four in loss Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-7 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Despite the overall result, it was a strong individual effort from Jimenez. He hit a two-run single in the first inning and a two-run double in the fourth for his fifth multi-hit effort in the last six games. It was the first time he's logged multiple RBI in a game since July 6. The outfielder is at a strong .286/.330/.485 slash line with 13 home runs, 46 RBI, 33 runs scored and 14 doubles through 68 contests overall.
