Eloy Jiménez News
Chicago White Sox acting manager Miguel Cairo said that first baseman Jose Abreu and outfielders Eloy Jimenez and AJ Pollock will get the season finale off on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins. Abreu will finish his 2022 season with a strong .304/.378/.446 slash line with an .824 OPS, 15 homers, 75 RBI and 85 runs scored in 601 at-bats. Jimenez only managed to play in 84 games, but he was solid when on the field with a .295/.358/.500 slash line with an .858 OPS, 16 homers, 54 RBI and 40 runs scored. And finally, Pollock hit a pedestrian .245/.292/.389 with 14 home runs, 56 RBI, 61 runs scored and three stolen bases in 527 plate appearances over 138 games in his first year in Chicago.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears to just be a regular day of rest for Jimenez with the White Sox recently being eliminated from postseason contention. He's hit well in the final month of the regular season, going 25-for-87 (.287) with seven home runs, 22 RBI and 16 runs scored in 24 games for the Pale Hose. Jimenez has gone hitless in his last seven at-bats over two games, though, with three strikeouts, so the White Sox are giving him a day to rest. With Jimenez out, Jose Abreu is serving as the designated hitter and is batting third, while Andrew Vaughn is at first base and is hitting fifth against Twins right-hander Louie Varland on Thursday.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez went deep Tuesday, knocking a three-run homer off Chad Kuhl in the first inning of a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies. It was Jimenez's 13th of the season. He went 1-for-3 with a walk in the contest. Jimenez has been outstanding since late July, and he's slashed .350/.445/.610 over his last 30 games in 117 plate appearances. He's riding a seven-game hitting streak with five multi-hit performances in that span. Fantasy managers approaching the end of the season could be riding Jimenez to championships.

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.
