Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) is "better today" and could do some running, according to manager Pedro Grifol. "We haven't made a roster move because we feel there is a possibility (he could play in KC)," Grifol said. Jimenez suffered a minor left-groin injury on Sunday and is missing his third straight game in the series finale against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. However, the White Sox remain optimistic that he won't need to go on the injured list, and he could return for the series in Kansas City against the Royals that starts on Thursday. When the 27-year-old does return, it will likely be as the designated hitter to keep him off his feet as much as possible. Gavin Sheets has been the team's DH the last three games with Jimenez out of action.

Chicago White Sox right-hander Dominic Leone will serve as the opener for the team on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves in what is expected to be a bullpen game. The White Sox re-signed Mike Clevinger to fill out their starting rotation late in spring training, but he's not ready to make his 2024 debut just yet, so the White Sox will have to piece things together on Wednesday in the series finale against Atlanta. The 32-year-old Leone will probably only go an inning or two before giving way to the team's next bullpen arm in this one, so fantasy managers shouldn't be streaming him at all anywhere. The former 16th-rounder in 2012 by the Seattle Mariners out of Clemson has already allowed three earned runs without a walk or strikeout in 1 2/3 relief innings in 2024.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) remains sidelined on Wednesday as the team takes on the visiting Atlanta Braves. The left-handed-hitting Gavin Sheets will make a third straight start at the team's designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Wednesday against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider. The White Sox are optimistic that the oft-injured Jimenez won't have to go on the injured list, but this is now his third straight missed game after he tweaked his groin in Sunday's game. The fact that the weather is cold and damp in Chicago probably is playing a part in the White Sox holding the 27-year-old out as a precaution, though. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Jimenez can return to the lineup this weekend when they face the Royals in Kansas City.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (finger) had an X-ray on Wednesday morning that showed his fractured left finger has not shifted and is healing as expected. The news keeps Mitchell on a four- to six-week timeframe for a return. Mitchell suffered the fractured finger late in spring training, another injury setback early in his career after he missed most of 2023 when he needed surgery on his shoulder. The 25-year-old former 20th overall pick in 2020 out of UCLA is most likely to make his 2024 debut in early May, barring any setbacks, but regular playing time is probably going to be an issue in Milwaukee's stacked outfield. His first-round pedigree alone, though, makes him worth stashing in deep-mixed and NL-only leagues. Mitchell hit .246 (16-for-65) with three homers and seven RBI in just 19 games last year.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-hander Trevor Megill (concussion) on the seven-day concussion list on Wednesday (retroactive to March 31) and recalled right-hander J.B. Bukauskas from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Megill hurt his head after contracting food poisoning. He was feeling faint and fell back and hit his head on the ground, suffering a concussion. Abner Uribe has recorded all three of the team's saves in the early going with Devin Williams (back) sidelined, with Megill serving as a late-inning setup man. The 30-year-old Megill had tossed two scoreless innings with a walk and three strikeouts out of the bullpen in the early going before getting hurt. With Megill out for at least a week, the Brewers' bullpen will be a little more vulnerable in the late innings.
