Eloy Jiménez News
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez helped the team capture a 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday. He went 1-for-5 with two RBI in the game. The 24-year-old has had a rough time at the plate in September. He's slashing just .192/.253/.288 with one home run, five RBI and four runs scored over 19 games. He's also struck out 23 times this month while walking just six times. Jimenez made his season debut in late July and he was stellar in August, tallying seven home runs and 27 RBI while posting an .865 OPS. Most of his underlying power metrics are down from last year, like his .436 xSLG on the year, a decrease from .544 last year. He might be worth benching in some shallow fantasy leagues for championship week if you have an enticing alternative.
Chicago White Sox outfielders Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez are both not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The White Sox will instead send Gavin Sheets, Leury Garcia, and Romy Gonzalez onto the outfield grass. Robert has been smashing the ball, slashing .467/.500/.733 over his last seven games, but Jimenez has not had as much success with a .172/.200/.241 line in the same span. Fantasy managers can expect each to return for Chicago's next game, which comes Monday against the division-rival Detroit Tigers, though the White Sox may continue to rest starters frequently with a playoff spot safely in the cards.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (knee) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He will miss his second straight contest after being removed from Tuesday's game with a right knee contusion. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day and his next chance to return to the lineup will be Friday against the Boston Red Sox. Billy Hamilton is starting in left field and batting seventh in Thursday's game. Hamilton can be used as a streamer for fantasy managers in search of speed. The veteran outfielder has swiped eight bags over 58 games this season.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez didn't start 2021 on the right foot, missing almost the first four months with a pectoral injury that he suffered in Spring Training. He came back hot out of the gate, slashing .333/.350/.719 with six home runs in his first 15 games. In his last 40, though, he slashed .218/.287/.333 with four long balls, combining for an end of season .249/.303/.437 slash line, 10 HRs, 37 RBI, 23 runs, and no stolen bases. Jimenez has slugged 55 HRs over his first 232 career games and will continue hitting for power in 2022. September's power shortage can be blamed on an uncharacteristic 10.5% HR/FB. And after barrelling the ball 12.8% and 16.5% in 2019 and 2020, respectively, he still managed a 10.8% rate last season. Jimenez's batting average should improve as he posted an average exit velocity of 90.5 MPH, and his 3.2 Solid% will almost certainly trend towards the 7% mark from 2020. But, the 25-year-old's not going to be a plus in the category; his .296 average from 2020 was paired with a .282 xBA, he has a career 25.7 K% and isn't the type of player that benefits from a ground ball rate of just under 50% (48.4 GB% in 2021). Though Jimenez has 61st percentile sprint speed, he has yet to steal a base in the majors, and there's no reason to think that will change much. The power, as well as the run production numbers he'll accumulate hitting in the heart of a good White Sox lineup, makes him a fine pick at his ADP of 63. However, fantasy managers are better off waiting for fellow slugger J.D. Martinez who is being drafted 26 picks later at 89.
