Eloy Jiménez News
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Washington Nationals. Jimenez has begun to heat up with seven hits over his last 27 at-bats, but his solo home run on Tuesday are his only counting stats in that time. For the season, Jimenez is hitting .221 with five homers and 12 RBI in 113 at-bats. The power has never been a question for Jimenez, but his plate discipline and health have been huge concerns throughout his career. As long as he remains healthy, Jimenez offers good power to managers in all formats, but he is also a strong sell-high candidate when he starts heating up with him only playing more than 84 games twice in his career.
Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez is not present in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday versus the visiting Minnesota Twins. This will be Jimenez's first day off after playing in 14 straight games following his activation from the injured list in the middle of last month. Since returning from his injury, he's hit .255/.328/.436 with three home runs and a stolen base for fantasy managers. After a scheduled off day on Thursday, he should return to his DH duties on Friday on the road in St. Louis against the Cardinals. Robbie Grossman is serving as Chicago's DH on Wednesday and is hitting leadoff for the Pale Hose against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Grossman is batting .600 in five career at-bats against Ober and will have elevated DFS sleeper appeal on Wednesday in the leadoff spot despite going just 11-for-57 (.193) this year.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is back as the designated hitter and is batting third on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Brady Singer, while first baseman Andrew Vaughn is getting the day off. Jimenez was activated from the injured list on Monday but wasn't in the starting lineup before getting a pinch-hit appearance later in the game. The White Sox are going to ease him back into the fold, but he could see more appearances in the outfield after starting there only 14 of 118 times in 2023. Vaughn has gone 1-for-16 in the last four games and 10-for-58 with no homers and three RBI to begin the year, so he's deserving of a rest. Gavin Sheets is at first base and is batting cleanup on Tuesday.

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Eloy Jimenez played in 120 games in 2023. While that number is the highest since his rookie season, he saw his underlying numbers drop across the board the 27-year-old put together a season where most stats came in below his career average. Barrel %, exit velocity, launch angle, and hard hit % all ended below career norms. There are other numbers in the same boat. As far as fantasy output, however, he had a decent season with a .272 average, 18 home runs, and 64 RBI. That will give managers hope he still has a breakout in him, but he will need to drastically improve his underlying numbers. ATC has a 71/28/87/.275 projection for the Dominican and that seems like a ceiling at this point, if he can stay healthy and turn around some of the aforementioned stats. There may be a single leading factor to Jimenez not doing more damage last season, his sweet spot %. He was in the bottom one percent in baseball in that category, with a 26% rate. If he can get that number back near his 31.7% from 2022, there may finally be a coming-out party. There are talks of the White Sox trading him, and fantasy managers may be ready to give up on his potential, it just depends on if you think he can fix his sweet spot rate.
