Slugs solo homer Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the A's.

Impact Jimenez has started five consecutive games -- all at cleanup -- since returning from a groin injury. He has had an unremarkable stretch since rejoining the lineup, though he did manage his 15th homer of the season and only third since the All-Star break. Jimenez will be a fixture in the lineup assuming health, but he's only been able to suit up for 89 of the team's 129 contests on the campaign.

Jumps back into lineup Jimenez is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Back from paternity list The White Sox reinstated Jimenez (groin) from the paternity list Monday.

Impact Jimenez is back with the team after he spent the weekend away from the White Sox while observing the birth of his child, but since the team has yet to release its lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, it's unclear if he'll be available to play in the series opener. Prior to going on paternity leave, Jimenez sat out last Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs with groin soreness, and he may not be fully recovered from the injury. Whenever he's deemed fully healthy, Jimenez should reclaim duties as the White Sox's everyday designated hitter.

Impact Jimenez missed Wednesday's series finale against the Cubs due to groin discomfort and will now be away from the White Sox for at least part of their three-game weekend series in Colorado as he welcomes a new addition to his growing family. Lenyn Sosa is up from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Available to pinch-hit White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Jimenez (groin) is available to pinch-hit Wednesday versus the Mets, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Grifol said the same thing prior to Tuesday's game, but it sounds like that was a bit of gamesmanship on the skipper's part and Jimenez wasn't truly available. "Today he is available," Grifol said Wednesday. "Yesterday it was questionable whether he was available or not. I would have used him if he was available. He is available today. To pinch hit." It seems as if Jimenez could be ready to return to the lineup as soon as Thursday.

Sits Wednesday due to groin injury Jimenez (groin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact The White Sox made Jimenez available to pinch hit in Tuesday's series opener after he left the team's previous game Sunday against Atlanta due to left groin tightness, but he ultimately went unused in the 11-10 loss to the Mets. Jimenez will remain on the bench again Wednesday, and manager Pedro Grifol previously estimated that the slugger would miss around 4-to-5 days in total. With that in mind, Jimenez may not be a good bet to make it back in the lineup until this weekend's series in Minnesota.

He's still likely a few more days away from returning to Chicago's lineup, but it would be a good sign of progress if he's able to get into a game before then.

Could miss 4-5 days White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday that Jimenez (groin) could be out 4-5 days, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Jimenez got hurt on the day he returned to outfield duty, though he was injured running to first base Sunday, not while playing the field.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with groin tightness Jimenez was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta with left groin tightness.

Impact Manager Pedro Grifol rolled the dice with Jimenez in right field Sunday and it didn't take long for that decision to backfire. The oft-injured slugger will be evaluated further ahead of the team's upcoming series in Queens. Jake Burger could take over as the primary DH if this forces Jimenez to the injured list, with Yoan Moncada (back) inching closer to a return.
