Eloy Jiménez - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting out with leg injury Jimenez (leg) is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Marlins.

Impact Jimenez had to come out of the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees with a leg injury and evidently isn't feeling well enough to start Friday. The specifics of the injury aren't yet clear, but at this point it seems to be a day-to-day situation. Gavin Sheets is in right field and Jake Burger will be the designated hitter Friday.

Exits game late Jimenez exited the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees with an apparent leg injury, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Jimenez was running out a ground ball in the ninth inning and grimaced upon reaching first base. Because it was so late in the game, the White Sox were unlikely to take any chances but there is no additional information as to the severity of the issue.

Eloy Jiménez launches a two-run homer to secure the White Sox's victory over the Yankees

JUNE 8, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Has minor leg issue White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Wednesday that Jimenez has been bothered by a leg issue, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez was limited to DH duties in Wednesday afternoon's 12-5 blowout loss to the Angels, but Grifol said he expects the 26-year-old slugger to be able to play the outfield this weekend against the Tigers. Thursday's scheduled team off day should help the cause. Still, it's something to monitor moving forward.

Launches fifth homer Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Monday against the Angels.

Impact Jimenez took Carlos Estevez deep in the ninth inning to tally his fifth home run of the season and first since returning from the injured list May 28. While an extremely short sample, he's shown significant power production across two games by tallying two extra-base hits and driving in four. Jimenez has hit second and fourth in those two contests and will continue to occupy a premium spot in the White Sox order.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in return Jimenez went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two walks and a run scored Sunday against the Tigers.

Impact Jimenez returned from a three-week absence caused by an appendectomy and hit second in the lineup. His lone hit came on a pop up in no-man's land in between the shortstop and left fielder, though it drove in two. Jimenez started in right field, which allowed Jake Burger to remain the designated hitter while Gavin Sheets hit the bench against a lefty. Moving forward, Jimenez is likely to also see time at designated hitter.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from IL The White Sox reinstated Jimenez (appendectomy) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Jimenez will get the green light to rejoin the White Sox ahead of Sunday's series finale in Detroit after he completed a three-game rehab assignment at Double-A Birmingham in which he collected 12 plate appearances. The slugger ended up missing close to a month after undergoing an appendectomy, but he should be ready to handle a near-everyday role at either designated hitter or in the corner outfield now that he's been activated. The White Sox optioned Adam Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte to make room on the 26-man active roster for Jimenez.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Sunday White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters Saturday that Jimenez (abdomen) could return as soon as Sunday against the Tigers.

Impact Jimenez has been out since the start of May following an emergency appendectomy. If the slugger doesn't return Sunday, it seems likely that he'll be back as the starting designated hitter for the White Sox in the early part of next week.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needs 3-for-4 days on rehab Jimenez (abdomen) will spend 3-to-4 days on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte before being re-evaluated, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez was spotted exiting the White Sox' clubhouse Tuesday with a suitcase headed for Charlotte, so it appears he could begin his rehab assignment as soon as Wednesday and return perhaps as soon as this weekend. The slugger has been out since early May following an emergency appendectomy.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on rehab assignment Jimenez (abdomen) is getting close to going out on a rehab assignment, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Jimenez underwent an emergency appendectomy May 6 but has been working out lately without issue and his clearance for game action appears imminent. The slugger had stated previously that he hopes to be activated by the end of this week, and it would seem he has a shot to meet that goal.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aiming to return next week Jimenez (abdomen) said Wednesday that he hopes to be back by the end of next week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez was cleared to run the bases Tuesday and will incorporate more and more baseball activities over the next few days before presumably heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment by early next week. He underwent an emergency appendectomy May 6 and was originally expected to miss more than a month.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to run Jimenez (abdomen) was cleared to run the bases Tuesday and could resume swinging by the weekend, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The White Sox have yet to set a date for Jimenez's return, but he was given a 4-to-6 week recovery timeline following his appendectomy earlier this month. Gavin Sheets and Adam Haseley have split reps in right field since Jimenez landed on the injured list.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to IL The White Sox placed Jimenez (appendix) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Jimenez underwent an emergency appendectomy in Cincinnati on Saturday, but since the White Sox didn't immediately have a player available to replace him on the 26-man active roster that day, the team waited until Sunday to officially move him to the IL. Catcher Carlos Perez will move up from Triple-A Charlotte to take the spot of Jimenez, who is expected to require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes appendectomy Jimenez (abdomen) underwent an appendectomy Saturday, which is expected to sideline him 4-to-6 weeks.

Impact Jimenez went to the hospital Saturday with severe abdominal pain, which ultimately led to the removal of his appendix. The 26-year-old never seems to catch a break when it comes to his health and he'll now be out for at least a month while recovering. Over the last three seasons prior to 2023, Jimenez only appeared in 192 games while dealing with an assortment of ailments. He'll likely be placed on the injured list at some point Sunday.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffering from abdominal pain Jimenez is at a local hospital in Cincinnati after suffering from abdominal pain, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The pain apparently intensified Friday night, and Jimenez went to the hospital overnight. Manager Pedro Grifol said the team should get an update on Jimenez's status later Saturday, but did not offer an immediate timetable for the designated hitter's return to action.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in extra-inning loss Jimenez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's loss to the Twins.

Impact Jimenez was the lone source of offense for the White Sox on Thursday, driving in all three of the team's runs and smacking his fourth home run on the season. However, his efforts were not enough for a win, as Byron Buxton tied the game at two in the eighth with a solo homer while Minnesota's five-run 12th inning proved to be too much for Chicago to overcome. Despite the hefty deficit, Jimenez attempted to spark a comeback, hitting a single to lead off the bottom of the 12th that scored designated runner Billy Hamilton, but a double-play and a strikeout quickly ended any hopes of a rally. Through 24 games, Jimenez holds a .258/.324/.430 slash line.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard in Tuesday's win Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Jimenez got the White Sox on the board with a two-run blast to left center field off of Jorge Lopez to put his squad in front 2-1. It was his third home run of the year and his first since April 22. The 26-year-old has not lived up to his fantasy price tag so far after spending some time on the IL, but he does have eight hits over his last five games, and is now slashing .226/.293/.381 with seven extra base hits, 11 RBI, nine runs and an 8:25 BB:K over 92 plate appearances.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In Tuesday's lineup Jimenez (leg) is in the White Sox' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Jimenez was bothered by leg soreness during Sunday's game, but he's evidently feeling OK following Monday's off day. He's in the designated hitter spot and batting cleanup versus Joe Ryan.

MAY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited by sore leg Jimenez was limited during Sunday's win over the Rays due to leg soreness, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Manager Pedro Grifol revealed after Sunday's matchup that Jimenez wasn't feeling 100 percent healthy before the game. However, Grifol wanted Jimenez's bat in the lineup, and the 26-year-old delivered with a performance in which he went 4-for-5 with a run and an RBI before being replaced by a pinch runner in the bottom of the ninth inning. It's encouraging that Jimenez had a solid performance Sunday, but he'll presumably be monitored ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Twins.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting outfield start Jimenez is starting in right field and batting third for the White Sox on Tuesday in Toronto.

Impact It's just the third start in the outfield this season for Jimenez versus 13 starts at designated hitter. The 26-year-old has professed a desire to play the outfield regularly, but it's in the best interest of his health and the White Sox' defense to minimize the slugger's time in the field.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers again Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Rays.

Impact Jimenez took Shane McClanahan yard in the second inning to tally his second homer of the season and in as many days. While he has gotten off to a slow start, he has shown signs of improvement and is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak. Overall, Jimenez is still hitting only .200/.273/.360 across 55 plate appearances while striking out at a 30.9 percent clip.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Finally goes yard Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Rays.

Impact He took Cooper Criswell deep in the fourth inning, giving Jimenez his first homer of the year. The 26-year-old has once again had trouble staying healthy, missing eight of Chicago's 20 games already, and he has yet to get hot at the plate, slashing .196/.275/.304 through 51 plate appearances.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling since return Jimenez went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts Sunday against the Orioles.

Impact Jimenez started at designated hitter for the third consecutive game since returning from a hamstring injury Friday. Despite spending the minimum amount of time on the injured list, he's looked rusty since his activation and managed only one hit across 12 at-bats while striking out six times since. Jimenez has yet to get going this season, as he's maintained just a .161/.257/.226 line across 35 plate appearances.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready for outfield yet Jimenez will be limited to designated hitter duty only initially upon his activation from the injured list Friday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact All six of Jimenez's starts this season (including Friday) have come at DH, so it's no surprise coming off a hamstring injury that the White Sox don't want him playing the outfield yet. He'll need to ramp up his running some more before being considered an option for the outfield.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated from injured list Jimenez (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Impact Jimenez resumed workouts almost immediately after hitting the injured list April 5, and he has now been activated after a minimum-length stay on the IL. The 26-year-old slugger got off to a slow start prior to straining his hamstring, slashing just .211/.318/.316 through 22 plate appearances.
