Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa gave an update on injured outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) on Saturday. During his presser, La Russa didn't rule out Jimenez returning at some point next week. La Russa said, "The question is how much does Eloy play in the outfield. There's a lot that's uncertain about Eloy yet. What's not uncertain is that we look forward to his return." The 25-year-old hasn't played since late April due to a hamstring injury, but it sounds as if he's getting close to a return, despite the fact that we haven't had much of a grasp on his timeline lately. Injuries have plagued the slugger the past few years. He only managed to play 55 games last year and he's been held to just 11 games this year, but his power upside is immense so hopefully he can reward fantasy managers for their patience soon.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) has resumed his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts as the designated hitter on Wednesday. Jimenez resumed his minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday, and although he has just one hit in eight at-bats over the last two days, the good news is that the 25-year-old looks to be heading in the right direction. Fantasy managers could have Jimenez back in their starting lineups by this weekend. He has only played in 11 games this year because of injuries and was hitting just .222/.256/.333 with a homer and seven RBI before his latest hamstring injury, but Jimenez should return to an everyday outfield role in Chicago once he's activated from the injured list.

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) "is getting ready to play games again." There's a chance that Jimenez resumes his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday after his rehab was paused in early June due to "normal leg soreness." The White Sox were adamant that it wasn't a setback for the 25-year-old, rather just the normal progression given his injury. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a quick rehab assignment, however, as Jimenez hasn't played in a big-league game since April 23. Adam Haseley, who had been playing well in the minors, might not have a regular role for long in Chicago with Jimenez getting closer to a return.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is dealing with what the team is calling "normal leg soreness" and the White Sox are pulling him from his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. It's not unexpected, considering it's a part of his return from surgery, but they are hoping he can return next week. The White Sox emphasized that this isn't a "setback," but the 25-year-old will be delayed further in his return from the injured list. Jimenez hasn't played since April 23 and was 4-for-17 (.235) with no home runs or RBI in six rehab games with Charlotte. He had only eight hits in 36 at-bats in Chicago before his injury early this year, but Jimenez is worthy of stashing everywhere.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) felt a "tug" in his hamstring while taking a swing during his rehab assignment on Saturday, according to manager Tony La Russa. The team is taking the tweak as a sign that Jimenez's leg isn't 100% healthy yet, per La Russa, and he will get a few days off as a result. This will set back the 25-year-old slugger's timetable a bit as he continues to recover from hamstring surgery that he underwent in late April. Fantasy managers should expect to receive an update in a few days.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) exited Saturday's rehab game at Triple-A Charlotte early due to leg soreness. He is considered day-to-day. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since April 24 after undergoing surgery on his right hamstring. He was initially estimated to miss 6-to-8 weeks and was on target to return during that timeframe. It's unknown how much more additional time Jimenez will miss with the latest setback, but fantasy managers should continue to stash the White Sox outfielder for now. Stay tuned for further updates.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez has been out since April 23 with a right hamstring strain but will start his rehab assignment tonight for triple-A Charlotte. The slugger will likely need at least a week to get back into form. The White Sox start a home stand on June 7th, so that could be a potential target date for Jimenez to return. In 11 games before his injury, Jimenez slashed just .222/.256/.333 with one home run.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next week, according to White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn. Jimenez has been out for about a month after undergoing hamstring surgery. His initial timeline was six to eight weeks and it seems as if he's on track to be on the shorter end of that timeline, meaning a return in early June. Jimenez appeared in just 11 games this year before landing on the injured list. He slashed .222/.256/.333 with one home run over those 11 outings.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) said that he's coming along quicker than expected in his recovery from right hamstring surgery. Jimenez went under the knife in late April and was expected to miss six to eight weeks. There are still plenty of hurdles for the 25-year-old to clear before he's ready to return from the injured list, but it's good to hear that he's doing well. Even in a best-case scenario, Jimenez might not be back for fantasy managers until late June or early July, but we'll keep you updated as he progresses. Before his injury, he had gone only 8-for-36 with one home run and seven RBI in 11 games, but Jimenez has 30-plus home run power when fully healthy and should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues.

The Chicago White Sox have announced that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday morning. The goal of the surgery was to repair a torn hamstring tendon behind Jimenez's right knee. It is expected that the 25-year-old will be out for six to eight weeks while recovering from the surgery. Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets should see increased playing time with Jimenez out and we could also see more of Adam Engel and Adam Haseley in the lineup as well.

The Chicago White Sox estimate that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) will miss six to eight weeks. The White Sox will place Jimenez on the 10-day injured list on Sunday after he was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain on Saturday. He'll undergo further evaluations when the team returns home on Monday. It's another tough blow for Chicago and for the 25-year-old outfielder, who missed roughly four months last year due to a ruptured pectoral muscle. With Jimenez now out for the foreseeable future, both Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets should have regular roles in the outfield and at designated hitter. Adam Engel will also see more playing time against right-handers. Although Jimenez had just eight hits in his first 36 at-bats with 10 strikeouts, he needs to be stashed in all fantasy formats.

While attempting to run out a ground ball, he appeared to trip over first base, causing him to fall down awkwardly. He was down on the ground for a while and carted off the field. The 25-year-old is expected to be placed on the injured list. Fantasy managers should stash Jimenez on their roster for now but expect to be without the White Sox outfielder for a while. Gavin Sheets is expected to have an uptick in at-bats while Jimenez is sidelined.

Jimenez thankfully didn't need to go on the injured list due to his ankle issue, and fantasy managers can get him back into their lineups against Cleveland. Adam Haseley is in left field on Thursday and is hitting ninth. Jimenez is 6-for-27 to begin the year with a home run, seven RBI and two runs scored in eight games played. The White Sox could ease him back into the lineup as the DH for another couple games.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The 25-year-old has a sore left ankle, but he hit in the cages and ran on Wednesday morning, so he could be available to pinch hit. "It's more than just the bruise, there's some swelling," manager Tony La Russa said. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned, but Jimenez could miss both games of the doubleheader. Gavin Sheets will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus righty Shane Bieber in Game 1. It's a favorable spot in the order for Sheets, but Bieber is never an easy pitcher to hit.

"Maybe they'll talk me out it by tomorrow morning," La Russa joked. "I can be intimidated." X-rays came back negative on Jimenez's ankle after he fouled a pitch off himself on Wednesday, and if he's not playing Thursday, he should be in the lineup by Friday or later this weekend. The 25-year-old has a homer, seven RBI and two runs scored while slashing .235/.263/.412 in his first 19 plate appearances over the first five games of the 2022 season.

He's also struck out 23 times this month while walking just six times. Jimenez made his season debut in late July and he was stellar in August, tallying seven home runs and 27 RBI while posting an .865 OPS. Most of his underlying power metrics are down from last year, like his .436 xSLG on the year, a decrease from .544 last year. He might be worth benching in some shallow fantasy leagues for championship week if you have an enticing alternative.
