Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (undisclosed) was moving slowly after hitting a ground ball to shortstop on Thursday against the New York Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader that seemed like a surefire double play. Jimenez was grimacing after making it to first base and then was pulled from the game for a pinch-runner with what appeared to be some sort of leg injury. The White Sox should provide an update on Jimenez soon, but this could be something that sends the oft-injured outfielder to the injured list. The good news is he went 1-for-4 with his sixth home run of the year, two RBI, a run scored, a walk and two strikeouts in the game before departing. For now, consider the 26-year-old as day-to-day. Jimenez entered the day hitting .258 (33-for-128) with six doubles, five homers and 22 RBI in 33 games played.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez went 2-for-4 with his fifth home run of the season, two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in the team's 6-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Memorial Day on Monday night. The long ball was Jimenez's first since returning from the injured list on Sunday. The 26-year-old Dominican has had trouble staying healthy in his career, but he's a dynamic outfielder when healthy and should continue to hit in the heart of Chicago's batting order. He's now slashing .269/.339/.462 with an .801 OPS, five doubles, five homers, 19 RBI and 14 runs scored in 115 trips to the plate and 27 games in 2023. Keep Jimenez in your starting fantasy lineups on a daily basis.

The Chicago White Sox reinstated outfielder Eloy Jimenez (appendix) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned outfielder Adam Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Jimenez is right back in the starting lineup, playing right field and batting second on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. The 26-year-old will return to the Pale Hose after missing almost a month after having an appendectomy, but fantasy managers will have him back after he played in three minor-league rehab games for Charlotte. Before he hit the injured list, Jimenez was hitting .258 (25-for-97) with four doubles, four home runs, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored in 25 games played. He will return to being an everyday player for Chicago in the outfield/designated hitter.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy) could return to the team as early as Sunday against the Detroit Tigers, per manager Pedro Grifol. This is encouraging news for the White Sox and fantasy managers alike. Jimenez has appeared in three games on his minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Birmingham and hasn't suffered any setbacks. He's been out since the beginning of May after undergoing an appendectomy. It's worth checking your waiver wire to see if he's still available in any leagues where he was dropped.

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) will spend three to four days on a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Birmingham this week before the team evaluates him. Infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) will also need a rehab assignment, and it probably won't come until next week. If everything goes well for Jimenez at Birmingham, he could come off the injured list to join the White Sox this weekend. The 26-year-old slugger has been sidelined since early May after having an emergency appendectomy, so fantasy managers may want to prepare for some rust when he returns. He's played in 25 games this year and has hit .258 (25-for-97) with four doubles, four home runs and 15 RBI. When healthy, Jimenez is an everyday player for the Pale Hose.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery according to manager Pedro Grifol. Jimenez underwent an appendectomy procedure several weeks ago so it's nice to hear that he's progressing ahead of his timetable. On Wednesday, Jimenez told reporters that he hopes to return to the lineup next weekend around May 26-28. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status over the next few days to make sure he sticks to this new optimistic timeline.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (appendix) said he felt like he "was going to die" when he woke up with intense pain caused by appendicitis. Jimenez is feeling good now, though, and is running and playing catch. After a minor-league rehab assignment, he's hoping to be ready to return from the 10-day injured list potentially by next weekend. The 26-year-old had an appendectomy on May 6 and was originally expected to miss over a month of action for the White Sox. Chicago needs a healthy Jimenez back in order to turn things around this year. Before he landed on the injured list, he was hitting .258 (25-for-97) with four doubles, four home runs, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored in 25 games played.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) underwent an appendectomy on Saturday. The 26-year-old is expected to out next four to six weeks. He complained about abdominal pain Saturday night and was taken to the hospital for further evaluation, which led to removing his appendix. Jimenez is slashing .258/.351/.423 with four home runs, 15 RBI, and 12 runs across 25 games in 2022. Jimenez is expected to go on the injured list and has missed 185 games the last two seasons due to injuries. Gavin Sheets is expected to see an uptick in at-bats while Jimenez is sidelined, and the White Sox could recall outfield prospect Oscar Colas after recently demoting him to the minors earlier in the week.

Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez (abdomen) is not in the White Sox lineup Saturday against the Reds as he deals with abdominal pain. The 26-year-old spent Friday night at a local Cincinnati hospital and this injury will cost him at least one game. Manager Pedro Grifol said there should be an update on the status of Jimenez sometime Saturday. It's concerning, though, for a player who missed nearly half of last year and already has one stay on the injured list in 2023. Fantasy managers hope the former Silver Slugger can get back soon, as Jimenez was tearing the cover off the ball during his current eight-game hitting streak. He's got a .424 batting average, three extra-base hits, and eight RBI over this torrid stretch.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez went 3-for-5 on Thursday with a home run and three RBI. Jimenez also scored a run and took a walk in the afternoon loss versus the Minnesota Twins. The 26-year-old got off to a slow start for the White Sox but has turned it around over the last two weeks, especially over the last seven days. Over his last 29 at-bats, he has a .448/.500/.690 slash line with two homers and eight RBI. He's been dropped in several leagues, but he is someone worth stashing, as he can be a fantasy force when everything is right for him at the plate.

The Chicago White Sox officially reinstated outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and placed third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) on the 10-day IL (retroactive to April 11) with lower back soreness in a corresponding move. The team also recalled left-hander Tanner Banks from Triple-A Charlotte, optioned right-hander Jesse Scholtens to Charlotte, claimed infielder/outfielder Nick Solak off waivers from the Seattle Mariners and optioned him to Charlotte and moved righty Matt Foster (forearm) to the 60-day IL. Jimenez wasn't hitting very well in a small sample size before his injury, but he's hitting cleanup on Friday in his return to the lineup and needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues. With Moncada out, expect Hanser Alberto and ... [More]

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 26-year-old has been working his way back from a low-grade hamstring strain. It appears he's ready to return after a short stint on the injured list. The expectation is that Jimenez will be back in the White Sox lineup on Friday. He'll look to get back on track after hitting .211 with three RBI before the injury.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is expected to come off the injured list and be in the starting lineup on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Tyler Wells. Jimenez has looked good in recent days. The 26-year-old's injury was never considered very serious, but he's likely to return in the designated hitter role to ease him back in. Jimenez was hitting only .211 (4-for-19) with two doubles and three RBI in his first five games before getting injured, but he needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats because of his high-end upside with the lumber. Third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) could take Jimenez's place on the injured list in a corresponding move before Friday's contest against Baltimore.

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.
