Reinstated from 60-day IL Jimenez (hamstring) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Jimenez concluded his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, but the White Sox waited an additional day before activating him. He's starting in left field and batting sixth during Wednesday's series finale against the Twins, but it's possible that the team gives him some additional looks as the designated hitter in the near future following his lengthy absence. Regardless of his position, the 25-year-old should see plenty of playing time. Over 11 games prior to sustaining his hamstring injury, he slashed .222/.256/.333 with a homer, seven RBI and two runs.

Rehab ends, not yet activated Jimenez (hamstring) has concluded his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte and rejoined the White Sox, but he won't be activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's g...

Impact Jimenez played a nine-inning game in the outfield for Charlotte on Monday, so the White Sox may have wanted to give him a full day to recover before potentially activating him and adding him to the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. After a two-week hiatus from game action at Triple-A, Jimenez appeared in 11 games upon resuming his rehab assignment June 21 and slashed an unremarkable .244/.311/.390 over that stretch, though he began to hit his stride with five hits over his final three contests. Assuming Jimenez ends up being activated Wednesday, the White Sox could deploy him as a designated hitter more frequently with the hope of avoiding a setback to his surgically repaired right hamstring. He's been on the shelf since late April while recovering from the injury.

Could return next week Manager Tony La Russa indicated Saturday that Jimenez (hamstring) could return next week, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact General manager Chris Getz said Friday that Jimenez has been getting more comfortable with his legs during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, and the 25-year-old appears to be closing in on a return in the coming days. La Russa said Saturday that the White Sox could ease Jimenez into action by giving him chances to serve as the designated hitter once he's ultimately activated. Over his eight games since resuming his rehab assignment, he's hit .167 with a homer, four runs and three RBI.

Still getting comfortable White Sox assistant general manager Chris Getz said that Jimenez (hamstring) is "getting more comfortable with his legs" while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, Daryl...

Impact Getz further stated, "It's just a matter of him [Jimenez] getting comfortable with it. When you have an injury like that, there is going to be some competitiveness and getting him to where he doesn't have to think about his hamstring, just go out and play baseball." On a more optimistic note, Getz also offered that Jimenez's sprint speed and time to first base is improving, so there has been progress made. That provides some hope that Jimenez will be activated from the injured list fairly soon, though the exact timing remains unclear.

Hits 60-day IL in procedural move The White Sox transferred Jimenez (hamstring) to the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

Impact Thursday marks 60 days since Jimenez was initially placed on the IL on April 23 with a strained right hamstring that required surgery, so the transaction doesn't affect his timeline for returning to the 26-man active roster and merely opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Lenyn Sosa, whose contract was purchased from Double-A Birmingham. After his minor-league rehab assignment was paused for two weeks, Jimenez returned to action Tuesday for Triple-A Charlotte and has gone 1-for-8 with four strikeouts while playing on back-to-back days. The White Sox may want to give Jimenez some light exposure to the outfield this weekend before potentially reinstating him from the IL next week.

Back in action with Charlotte Jimenez (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Impact Jimenez started at designated hitter for the second consecutive game with Charlotte. He has one hit in eight at-bats, but he has shown no sign of setbacks. While positive progress, it may be a few days before Jimenez is activated if the White Sox want him to get work in the outfield.

Close to resuming rehab assignment Manager Tony La Russa said Sunday that Jimenez (hamstring) will have a chance to resume his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jimenez's rehab assignment was paused in early June due to "normal leg soreness," but he'll return to minor-league games nearly two weeks after his shutdown began. Given the length of his shutdown, the outfielder will likely require several more rehab games before he's cleared to rejoin the White Sox.
