Showing off pop Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Rangers.

Impact Jimenez helped the White Sox jump out to an early lead by blasting a two-run homer in the first inning. It was his ninth long ball of the season, and third in seven games since he returned from a calf injury. Jimenez has struggled to stay on the field while dealing with an array of injuries in the first three months of the season, but he is showing off plenty of pop and now has a .204 ISO across 180 plate appearances on the campaign.

Slugs eighth homer Jimenez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Saturday against the Mariners.

Impact Jimenez took Logan Gilbert deep in the second inning to tally his eighth homer of the season. It was his second long ball since returning from a calf injury Wednesday, and he also has at least one hit in all four games since retaking the field. Jimenez has battled a number of lower-body injuries this season, which has limited him to only 163 plate appearances and seemingly hindered his ability to find a rhythm at the dish.

Two hits in return Jimenez (calf) went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Jimenez missed four contests with left calf soreness. He was one of five White Sox batters with multiple hits in the contest, and he was able to pad the lead with an RBI single in the ninth inning. Assuming he avoids setbacks, he should be able to stay in lineup between designated hitter and his usual spot in right field. Staying healthy has been a challenge for him so far, but he has a solid .262/.318/.440 slash line with six home runs, 25 RBI, 18 runs scored and seven doubles through 36 contests.

Good chance to return Wednesday White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters that Jimenez is "somewhat available" for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers off the bench, and that he has a good chance to be in the...

Impact "We are looking for [Jimenez] to be in the lineup tomorrow," Grifol said Tuesday. Jimenez has been out of the lineup since leaving the second game of a doubleheader against the Yankees on Thursday with calf discomfort, but it sounds likely that the slugger will be back in the lineup for Chicago in the coming days even if he isn't able to play Tuesday or Wednesday.

Remains out of lineup Jimenez (calf) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Jimenez will miss a fourth consecutive contest Tuesday as he continues to nurse a sore left calf.

Gavin Sheets will draw another start in right field and bat eighth in the series opener with Los Angeles.

Out as expected vs. Marlins Jimenez (calf) is not in the starting lineup versus Miami on Sunday

Sits as expected Jimenez (calf) is on the bench as expected Saturday against the Marlins.

Impact Jimenez left the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees with left calf discomfort.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out 4-to-5 days White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Friday that Jimenez (calf) is likely to be sidelined for the next 4-to-5 days, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez was pulled from the second half of Thursday's doubleheader at Yankee Stadium after experiencing discomfort just below his left calf. Grifol expressed optimism that the 26-year-old slugger will be able to avoid the 10-day injured list, but he is apparently going to miss Chicago's entire three-game weekend set against the Marlins. Gavin Sheets is playing right field in Friday's series opener and Jake Burger is serving as the designated hitter.

Sitting out with leg injury Jimenez (leg) is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Marlins.

Impact Jimenez had to come out of the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees with a leg injury and evidently isn't feeling well enough to start Friday. The specifics of the injury aren't yet clear, but at this point it seems to be a day-to-day situation. Gavin Sheets is in right field and Jake Burger will be the designated hitter Friday.

Exits game late Jimenez exited the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees with an apparent leg injury, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Jimenez was running out a ground ball in the ninth inning and grimaced upon reaching first base. Because it was so late in the game, the White Sox were unlikely to take any chances but there is no additional information as to the severity of the issue.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Has minor leg issue White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Wednesday that Jimenez has been bothered by a leg issue, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez was limited to DH duties in Wednesday afternoon's 12-5 blowout loss to the Angels, but Grifol said he expects the 26-year-old slugger to be able to play the outfield this weekend against the Tigers. Thursday's scheduled team off day should help the cause. Still, it's something to monitor moving forward.

Launches fifth homer Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Monday against the Angels.

Impact Jimenez took Carlos Estevez deep in the ninth inning to tally his fifth home run of the season and first since returning from the injured list May 28. While an extremely short sample, he's shown significant power production across two games by tallying two extra-base hits and driving in four. Jimenez has hit second and fourth in those two contests and will continue to occupy a premium spot in the White Sox order.

MAY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in return Jimenez went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two walks and a run scored Sunday against the Tigers.

Impact Jimenez returned from a three-week absence caused by an appendectomy and hit second in the lineup. His lone hit came on a pop up in no-man's land in between the shortstop and left fielder, though it drove in two. Jimenez started in right field, which allowed Jake Burger to remain the designated hitter while Gavin Sheets hit the bench against a lefty. Moving forward, Jimenez is likely to also see time at designated hitter.

Returns from IL The White Sox reinstated Jimenez (appendectomy) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Jimenez will get the green light to rejoin the White Sox ahead of Sunday's series finale in Detroit after he completed a three-game rehab assignment at Double-A Birmingham in which he collected 12 plate appearances. The slugger ended up missing close to a month after undergoing an appendectomy, but he should be ready to handle a near-everyday role at either designated hitter or in the corner outfield now that he's been activated. The White Sox optioned Adam Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte to make room on the 26-man active roster for Jimenez.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Sunday White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters Saturday that Jimenez (abdomen) could return as soon as Sunday against the Tigers.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needs 3-for-4 days on rehab Jimenez (abdomen) will spend 3-to-4 days on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte before being re-evaluated, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez was spotted exiting the White Sox' clubhouse Tuesday with a suitcase headed for Charlotte, so it appears he could begin his rehab assignment as soon as Wednesday and return perhaps as soon as this weekend. The slugger has been out since early May following an emergency appendectomy.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on rehab assignment Jimenez (abdomen) is getting close to going out on a rehab assignment, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Jimenez underwent an emergency appendectomy May 6 but has been working out lately without issue and his clearance for game action appears imminent. The slugger had stated previously that he hopes to be activated by the end of this week, and it would seem he has a shot to meet that goal.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aiming to return next week Jimenez (abdomen) said Wednesday that he hopes to be back by the end of next week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez was cleared to run the bases Tuesday and will incorporate more and more baseball activities over the next few days before presumably heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment by early next week. He underwent an emergency appendectomy May 6 and was originally expected to miss more than a month.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to IL The White Sox placed Jimenez (appendix) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Jimenez underwent an emergency appendectomy in Cincinnati on Saturday, but since the White Sox didn't immediately have a player available to replace him on the 26-man active roster that day, the team waited until Sunday to officially move him to the IL. Catcher Carlos Perez will move up from Triple-A Charlotte to take the spot of Jimenez, who is expected to require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes appendectomy Jimenez (abdomen) underwent an appendectomy Saturday, which is expected to sideline him 4-to-6 weeks.

Impact Jimenez went to the hospital Saturday with severe abdominal pain, which ultimately led to the removal of his appendix. The 26-year-old never seems to catch a break when it comes to his health and he'll now be out for at least a month while recovering. Over the last three seasons prior to 2023, Jimenez only appeared in 192 games while dealing with an assortment of ailments. He'll likely be placed on the injured list at some point Sunday.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffering from abdominal pain Jimenez is at a local hospital in Cincinnati after suffering from abdominal pain, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The pain apparently intensified Friday night, and Jimenez went to the hospital overnight. Manager Pedro Grifol said the team should get an update on Jimenez's status later Saturday, but did not offer an immediate timetable for the designated hitter's return to action.

MAY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in extra-inning loss Jimenez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's loss to the Twins.

Impact Jimenez was the lone source of offense for the White Sox on Thursday, driving in all three of the team's runs and smacking his fourth home run on the season. However, his efforts were not enough for a win, as Byron Buxton tied the game at two in the eighth with a solo homer while Minnesota's five-run 12th inning proved to be too much for Chicago to overcome. Despite the hefty deficit, Jimenez attempted to spark a comeback, hitting a single to lead off the bottom of the 12th that scored designated runner Billy Hamilton, but a double-play and a strikeout quickly ended any hopes of a rally. Through 24 games, Jimenez holds a .258/.324/.430 slash line.
