Impact The team plans to provide another update on Jimenez's status following Monday's team off day once he's re-evaluated in Chicago, but the 25-year-old is set to miss extended time for the second time in as many seasons after a ruptured pectoral tendon kept him sidelined for about four months of the 2021 campaign. While the slugger is out of the lineup, both Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets could have clear paths to near-everyday roles at either left field or designated hitter. The righty-hitting Adam Engel should also be a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching with Jimenez out of the picture.

Suffers serious injury Jimenez (hamstring) suffered a "significant" injury Saturday, but it is not expected to end his season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jimenez was carted off the field after landing awkwardly on first base while running out a groundball. Though no formal move has been made, it appears a certainty that Jimenez will land on the injured list. Andrew Vaughn's at-bats look more secure, and Gavin Sheets could see a significant uptick in playing time with Jimenez out.

Starting at DH Thursday Jimenez (ankle) is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth Thursday against the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact This is encouraging, as Jimenez has missed significant time with lower-body issues throughout the years, but this ankle soreness didn't require a trip to the injured list. The White Sox may look to get him more starts at designated hitter in the short term in an effort to avoid a reoccurrence.

Sits out second game of twin bill Jimenez is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians due to a sore left ankle, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Manager Tony La Russa noted prior to the White Sox's 11-1 loss earlier Wednesday that Jimenez was dealing with some swelling in his foot after playing through the ankle injury he sustained from fouling a ball off himself. Jimenez was able to take batting practice Wednesday and could still be available as a pinch-hitter for the second game of the twin bill.

Tending to sore foot White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Jimenez is dealing with "a little foot soreness," which likely explains his absence from the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doublehea...

Impact Jimenez's foot issue was also a factor in the White Sox bringing up Adam Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte as the 29th man for the twin bill rather than reserving that spot for another pitcher. La Russa didn't seem too concerned about Jimenez's injury, so the slugger should be available off the bench for the first game of the doubleheader before potentially starting in the nightcap. The White Sox could look to deploy Jimenez as a designated hitter to limit the strain on his foot.

On bench for matinee Jimenez isn't starting the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Impact Jimenez was in the lineup for the three-game series against the Rays over the weekend, and he went 2-for-10 with a walk and four strikeouts. Andrew Vaughn will start in left field while Adam Engel takes over in right.

Available as pinch hitter Jimenez (ankle) isn't starting Thursday's game against Seattle but is available as a pinch hitter, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Impact Jimenez said prior to Thursday's matchup that his ankle feels "much better" after receiving treatment, so he'll be an option off the bench if needed. In spite of his bruised left ankle, the 25-year-old is optimistic that he'll be back in the starting lineup Friday against the Rays.

Won't play Thursday Manager Tony La Russa said Jimenez (ankle) won't be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact La Russa added Jimenez could talk his way into the lineup Thursday morning, so there doesn't appear to be significant concern for the bruised ankle. The 25-year-old already had X-rays come back negative after fouling a pitch off himself, and he should be back on the field within a few days.
