White Sox activate OF Eloy Jimenez from IL
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez hasn't played for the "South Siders" since suffering a torn right hamstring in late April. The slugging youngster is finally back in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's game against the Minnesota Twins.
Prior to landing on the injured list, Jimenez had started the 2022 season 8-for-36 with one home run and seven RBIs. Jimenez got a late start to the 2021 campaign due to a torn pectoral tendon and recorded 10 home runs, 37 RBIs and a .249/.303/.437 slash line over 213 at-bats covering 55 games.
The 2020 Silver Slugger award winner signed with the Chicago Cubs as an amateur free agent in 2013 but was traded to the White Sox in 2017 with talented now-fourth-year starting pitcher Dylan Cease and two other minor-leaguers in exchange for southpaw Jose Quintana.
