The Chicago White Sox continued their fire sale as they traded outfielder Eloy Jimenez to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. This is a sneaky move by the O's as Jimenez isn't too far removed from being one of the more exciting prospects in baseball. This season, Jimenez is slashing .240/.297/.345 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 65 games. The oft-injured outfielder has a ton of potential but staying on the field has been the biggest issue for him. It's uncertain where he'll play in Baltimore, but a designated hitter spot is best suited for him. In exchange, the White Sox will receive left-hander Trey McGough. A 26-year-old that has posted a 1.99 ERA across 28 appearances between Double-A and Triple-A this season.
Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez will start Monday's contest against the hosting Texas Rangers on the bench. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth for the White Sox against Rangers right-hander Michael Lorenzen. In just eight career at-bats against Lorenzen, Sheets is hitting .375 with a .944 OPS and an RBI, making him more attractive in DFS contests. Jimenez is being rested more regularly of late and is batting .250 (18-for-72) with no home runs, two doubles, four RBI, seven walks and 15 strikeouts in 22 games (17 starts) since coming off the injured list on June 23. The 27-year-old Dominican outfielder missed substantial time in the first half due to injury and has been a disappointment for the worst team in baseball. Jimenez is sitting on just five home runs, 16 RBI and three stolen bases in his 206 at-bats.
Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated Eloy Jimenez is not in the team's starting lineup on Saturday against the hosting Miami Marlins for the second game of the weekend series. Gavin Sheets is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup, while Tommy Pham starts in right field and bats leadoff against Marlins right-hander Yonny Chirinos. Since missing around a month with an injury and returning on June 23, Jimenez has gone 10-for-38 (.263) with no home runs, two doubles, an RBI, four walks and seven strikeouts in 11 games played for the Pale Hose. The 27-year-old Dominican won't rack up many counting stats on the worst team in baseball, but when healthy, he's a lineup regular. Jimenez has failed to live up to the hype after hitting 31 homers in his rookie season in 2019. However, he has gone 7-for-19 with two runs scored in his last six games.
Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez is getting the day off on Saturday versus the visiting Colorado Rockies. With Jimenez starting on the bench, outfielder Gavin Sheets (heel) will return to the lineup as the designated hitter and will bat cleanup against Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. Since returning from a long stay on the injured list on June 23, Jimenez has been rusty at the plate, going 3-for-19 (.158) with a double, RBI, walk, four strikeouts and two runs scored in five games played. The 27-year-old Dominican outfielder will continue to be a regular for the worst team in baseball, but fantasy managers obviously won't be able to count on much production from him. Jimenez is currently hitting just .222/.277/.359 on the year with five homers, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored in 41 games.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) remains in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is somewhat surprising considering Jimenez mentioned experiencing hamstring soreness in his return on Sunday. Despite that, the oft-injured outfielder will remain in the starting lineup for Monday's game. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus left-hander James Paxton.
