Eloy Jiménez News
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) has resumed his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts as the designated hitter on Wednesday. Jimenez resumed his minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday, and although he has just one hit in eight at-bats over the last two days, the good news is that the 25-year-old looks to be heading in the right direction. Fantasy managers could have Jimenez back in their starting lineups by this weekend. He has only played in 11 games this year because of injuries and was hitting just .222/.256/.333 with a homer and seven RBI before his latest hamstring injury, but Jimenez should return to an everyday outfield role in Chicago once he's activated from the injured list.
Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) "is getting ready to play games again." There's a chance that Jimenez resumes his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday after his rehab was paused in early June due to "normal leg soreness." The White Sox were adamant that it wasn't a setback for the 25-year-old, rather just the normal progression given his injury. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a quick rehab assignment, however, as Jimenez hasn't played in a big-league game since April 23. Adam Haseley, who had been playing well in the minors, might not have a regular role for long in Chicago with Jimenez getting closer to a return.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is dealing with what the team is calling "normal leg soreness" and the White Sox are pulling him from his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. It's not unexpected, considering it's a part of his return from surgery, but they are hoping he can return next week. The White Sox emphasized that this isn't a "setback," but the 25-year-old will be delayed further in his return from the injured list. Jimenez hasn't played since April 23 and was 4-for-17 (.235) with no home runs or RBI in six rehab games with Charlotte. He had only eight hits in 36 at-bats in Chicago before his injury early this year, but Jimenez is worthy of stashing everywhere.

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.
