Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) was able to take batting practice on the field on Monday before the team's game against the Minnesota Twins. Jimenez landed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain last week but it already hitting and doing some light running, so he could return to the White Sox's lineup soon. The White Sox initially said they expected the 26-year-old to be out for just two weeks, so he needs to remain stashed in all fantasy leagues. Jimenez had just four hits in his first 19 at-bats (.211 average), but he has high-end fantasy upside when he's healthy. Gavin Sheets should continue to see more opportunities in the outfield for the Pale Hose until Jimenez returns from the injured list.

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol is optimistic that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) won't be out too long and will miss two weeks instead of three. Jimenez strained his left hamstring running from first to third base on Monday and was placed on the injured list on Wednesday. Given the 26-year-old's lengthy injury history, we wouldn't be surprised if Jimenez is out longer than expected, so fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up. Still, he should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues for the time being. Entering Wednesday, Jimenez had gone 4-for-19 (.211) with two doubles and three RBI in five games. Gavin Sheets should benefit with more playing time for however long Jimenez is out.

The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to April 4) on Wednesday with a low-grade left hamstring strain and recalled infielder Jake Burger from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Jimenez is expected to miss the next two to three weeks, but fantasy managers in all formats should keep him stashed in an IL spot on their roster. The oft-injured 26-year-old has plenty of ability on the diamond, but he continues to be hindered by injuries. With Jimenez out, Gavin Sheets should see more playing time between the outfield and first base. In the first five games of the season, Jimenez had gone 4-for-19 (.211) with two doubles, three RBI, two runs scored, three walks and six strikeouts.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (calf) is fine and did some running on Tuesday. He's scheduled to play in one of the team's split-squad Cactus League games on Wednesday. Jimenez was pulled from Monday's game due to a right calf injury, but it just cramping and nothing serious. The 26-year-old Dominican outfielder hit a strong .295/.358/.500 with an .858 OPS, 16 home runs, 54 RBI and 40 runs scored in 327 plate appearances and 84 games in his fourth year in the big leagues in 2022. Durability is an issue, as he hasn't played in over 100 games since his rookie year in 2019. Still, RotoBaller has Jimenez ranked as the No. 19 fantasy outfielder. If he can stay healthy for a full season, he has the skills to be a No. 1 fantasy outfielder.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (calf) left the team's Cactus League game against the Arizona Diamondbacks early on Monday with a cramp in his right calf, according to the team. Fantasy managers should consider Jimenez day-to-day for now, and he shouldn't be in any danger of missing Opening Day at the end of this month. It's a reminder of how brittle the 26-year-old Dominican has been early in his career, as he's only played in over 100 games in a season once in his rookie year in 2019. Jimenez played in just 84 games in 2022, but he hit a strong .295/.358/.500 with an .858 OPS, 16 home runs, 54 RBI and 40 runs scored in 327 plate appearances. If injuries don't get in the way in 2023, the sky is the limit for Jimenez.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez reportedly dropped 25-30 pounds over the offseason. Jimenez added that he feels much lighter, which could help him get more reps in the outfield. Although it seems that Jimenez will remain in his DH spot, he could be a better defender with the lost weight. The 26-year-old spent 50 games at DH this past season while manning left field for the remaining 30. The downside is the fact that Jimenez is never healthy. He hasn't made over 400 plate appearances since his 2019 rookie season, and he's not exactly the most reliable player. In 2022, he slashed .295/.358/.858 with 16 home runs and a 140 OPS+. His offensive attributes have never been questioned, but his inability to stay on the field is the biggest concern.

Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez said on a Monday Zoom call that he does not want to serve as the team's primary DH in 2023. Jimenez did serve that role in 2022, as he was recovering from surgery to repair a torn hamstring tendon behind his right knee. The good news is that the 26-year-old performed exceptionally well at the plate, slashing .295/.358/.500 with 16 home runs and 54 RBI in 327 plate appearances. How Jimenez gets his at-bats is not much of a fantasy concern, as long as he plays enough outfield to maintain position eligibility for future seasons. What is a concern is his overall health, as he saw just 558 plate appearances over the 2021-22 seasons.

Chicago White Sox acting manager Miguel Cairo said that first baseman Jose Abreu and outfielders Eloy Jimenez and AJ Pollock will get the season finale off on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins. Abreu will finish his 2022 season with a strong .304/.378/.446 slash line with an .824 OPS, 15 homers, 75 RBI and 85 runs scored in 601 at-bats. Jimenez only managed to play in 84 games, but he was solid when on the field with a .295/.358/.500 slash line with an .858 OPS, 16 homers, 54 RBI and 40 runs scored. And finally, Pollock hit a pedestrian .245/.292/.389 with 14 home runs, 56 RBI, 61 runs scored and three stolen bases in 527 plate appearances over 138 games in his first year in Chicago.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears to just be a regular day of rest for Jimenez with the White Sox recently being eliminated from postseason contention. He's hit well in the final month of the regular season, going 25-for-87 (.287) with seven home runs, 22 RBI and 16 runs scored in 24 games for the Pale Hose. Jimenez has gone hitless in his last seven at-bats over two games, though, with three strikeouts, so the White Sox are giving him a day to rest. With Jimenez out, Jose Abreu is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third, while Andrew Vaughn is at first base and is hitting fifth against Twins right-hander Louie Varland on Thursday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez went deep Tuesday, knocking a three-run homer off Chad Kuhl in the first inning of a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies. It was Jimenez's 13th of the season. He went 1-for-3 with a walk in the contest. Jimenez has been outstanding since late July, and he's slashed .350/.445/.610 over his last 30 games in 117 plate appearances. He's riding a seven-game hitting streak with five multi-hit performances in that span. Fantasy managers approaching the end of the season could be riding Jimenez to championships.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Twins. Jimenez was forced to exit the game early against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday with right leg soreness. Although he's likely just day-to-day, fantasy managers will need to remove him from their lineups for the series opener against the Twins. The 25-year-old continues to be injury-prone, but he's a must-start for fantasy managers when he's on the field. First baseman Jose Abreu is serving as the designated hitter and will bat third, while Andrew Vaughn slots in at the cold corner and is hitting second against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray on Friday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) left Thursday's game early against the Kansas City Royals with right leg soreness. The White Sox are calling him day-to-day. Jimenez continues to deal with right leg issues, but hopefully he won't be out for long. Before leaving in the seventh inning, Jimenez went 0-for-3 with a strikeout while serving as the designated hitter. Josh Harrison replaced him in the contest. The 25-year-old only has 189 at-bats over the course of the 2022 season due to different ailments along the way, but he entered Thursday's action with a strong .307/.376/.466 slash line with an .841 OPS, eight home runs, 30 RBI and 22 runs scored in 55 games. Jimenez has plenty of tools, but he's played in over 100 games in just one of his four MLB campaigns.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (elbow) is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth on Thursday against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jordan Lyles. Jimenez was hit by a pitch on Tuesday and sat out on Wednesday, but fantasy managers should get him back into their starting lineups on Thursday. The 25-year-old Dominican slugger only has 170 at-bats on the year in 49 games, but when he's been available, he's been solid for fantasy managers, hitting .306/.372/.465 with an .836 OPS, seven home runs, 28 RBI and 19 runs scored. Get him back into your fantasy lineups.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. Jimenez was hit by a 100 mph fastball on Wednesday, but thankfully X-rays were negative and he's just dealing with a bruise. Fantasy managers should consider the 25-year-old slugger day-to-day. AJ Pollock is in left field and is batting leadoff on Wednesday, while Jose Abreu is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup against Orioles right-hander Spencer Watkins. When Jimenez returns to the lineup, he'll be a must-start in fantasy. He only has 170 at-bats on the year due to injuries, but he's hitting a strong .306/.372/.465 with an .836 OPS, seven home runs, 28 RBI and 19 runs scored when he's been on the field.

X-rays came back negative on Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (elbow) after he was forced to leave the game early on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles after getting hit in the left elbow by a pitch. Jimenez is considered day-to-day with a bruise, so he dodged a bullet and shouldn't have to go on the injured list. The 25-year-old went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks before departing the contest, and he's now hitting .306/.372/.465 with an .836 OPS, seven home runs, 28 RBI and 19 runs scored in 191 plate appearances over 49 games played. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Wednesday to see if Jimenez is in the lineup against right-hander Spencer Watkins and the Orioles.

The Chicago White Sox will have outfielder Eloy Jimenez (knee) back in their lineup Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. Jimenez left Friday's game against the Guardians with right knee discomfort after twisting his knee while swinging, which is scary considering his injury history. However, he is feeling better today and will get back in the lineup. Jimenez has been on a tear lately, with a .406/.468/.507 slash line in August, so it is good to see him get right back in the lineup to hopefully continue this hot stretch. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status over the next few weeks, as the oft-injured star may need a game or two off to rest this injury.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in the starting lineup on Saturday for the first game of a doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians. Jimenez returned from a leg injury in the first game of the second half of the season on Friday and went 1-for-3. Fantasy managers will probably see him back in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's double dip. The 25-year-old Dominican only has 69 at-bats this year due to injuries, and he's hitting a disappointing .203 with two home runs and 13 RBI, but he's still a must-roster fantasy player. Andrew Vaughn is starting in left field in Game 1 and is hitting third against Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie. Vaughn, who is hitting .300 on the year with 10 home runs, will be a fine DFS target.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against right-hander Sonny Gray and the Minnesota Twins. This comes as little surprise as the team is likely to be cautious with the oft-injured slugger. Jimenez was removed from Wednesday's game due to right leg tightness. We haven't gotten any word yet in regards to the severity of the injury, so he should be considered day-to-day for now. On the bright side, White Sox manager Tony La Russa stated that he didn't believe Jimenez re-injured his hamstring on Wednesday -- Jimenez had recently missed over two months due to a right hamstring strain.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with right leg tightness. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before exiting early during the seventh inning. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time, and he will undergo further evaluation after the game.

The 25-year-old has been limited to 19 games this season, slashing .197/.239/.303 across 71 plate appearances. Adam Engel would see an uptick in playing time if Jimenez is forced to miss any time. Stay tuned.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) made his return from the injured list on Wednesday. The young slugger has been out since late April due to a lingering hamstring issue. The 25-year-old went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the victory over the Minnesota Twins. Jimenez has been mediocre since suffering a torn pectoral last year. The hope is that the young slugger will finally get healthy and find his groove at the plate. The good news is, Jimenez played well during his first game back, so hopefully that trend will continue.
