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.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves. Gavin Sheets is serving as the designated hitter again on Tuesday and is hitting cleanup for the Pale Hose against Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez. This is Jimenez's second straight missed game after he suffered a left-adductor injury on Sunday. After an MRI exam on Monday, the 27-year-old is being labeled as day-to-day, so hopefully the oft-injured Jimenez will be able to avoid the injured list and return to the lineup later this week. Sheets went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and hit by pitch on Monday and is still searching for his first hit of the season after five plate appearances. He has never faced Lopez in his career.
Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) is considered day-to-day after undergoing an MRI exam on Monday. For now, the team will play a man short. Jimenez injured his left-adductor muscle running out a ground ball on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers and didn't play in Monday's loss to the Atlanta Braves. For now, it looks like the oft-injured 27-year-old won't need an injured list stint, which is a nice surprise for his fantasy managers. If Jimenez misses any more time this week, expect Gavin Sheets to serve as the club's designated hitter if they are facing a right-handed pitcher. Jimenez is not only hurt but off to a slow start offensively after going 2-for-11 with two strikeouts in his first three games over the weekend.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Atlanta Braves. It shouldn't be a big surprise, as Jimenez is likely to land on the injured list after injuring his left adductor while running out a ground ball in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Tigers. The severity of the 27-year-old's injury is unknown, but Jimenez appears likely to miss at least 10 days. With Jimenez out on Monday, Gavin Sheets is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth, while Dominic Fletcher is in right field and hitting ninth against Braves right-hander Charlie Morton. The oft-injured Jimenez is also off to a slow start at the plate so far this year, going 2-for-11 (.182) with two strikeouts in his first three games. Sheets will likely benefit the most from extra playing time for however long Jimenez is out.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The organization announced that Jimenez left the game due to left groin soreness. The expectation is the team will have Jimenez undergo further testing before deciding on what to do. However, it's being reported that infielder Lenyn Sosa is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. That being said, it sounds like Jimenez is headed towards a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should get a backup plan in place in case Jimenez does miss time.
