Eloy Jiménez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Eloy Jimenez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The O's have decided to give the oft-injured slugger the day off after he started in four straight games. Jimenez is off to a hot start with his new team. He's 12-for-24 with four RBI in eight games with the O's. Ryan O'Hearn will get the start at designated hitter and bat cleanup versus right-hander Jake Irvin. O'Hearn is hitting .274 with 12 home runs and 45 RBI against right-handed pitching this season. He could be a low-end streaming option against Irvin who has allowed four earned runs or more in each of his last two starts.

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Eloy Jimenez is taking a seat on Saturday night as they face Drew Rasmussen and the Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony Santander will be hitting in the DH spot while Austin Slater will be taking Santander's outfield role and will hit seventh. Jimenez has been a great acquisition for the Orioles as the 27-year-old is 11-21 with his new club. Him taking a seat shouldn't worry fantasy managers as it appears Baltimore is taking more of a platoon approach to tonight's matchup. With Slater getting the extra opportunity tonight, he is hitting for a .576 OPS on the season and only has seven PA with his new team, though he is three-for-five with two walks in his short stint in Baltimore. DFS managers willing to take a chance on Slater may get him at a cheap cost, but the move may be risky. Fantasy managers should expect Jimenez to be back in the lineup tomorrow against Rays' scheduled starter Jeffrey Springs.

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.
