Frequently Asked Questions
When will Eloy Jimenez return to the White Sox lineup?

What injury is Eloy Jimenez recovering from?
Eloy went down with a torn pec in spring training. Many initially thought his 2021 season would be over before it began, but he's been attacking his rehab with great conviction.
How have the White Sox been performing in home runs this season?
The White Sox rank 24th in all of baseball with 92 home runs at the All-Star Break and are ahead of only Kansas City in the American League. This team desperately needs Eloy's power threat to boost those numbers.
How did Eloy Jimenez help Jose Abreu's MVP season last year?
Eloy batted behind Abreu and provided protection in the lineup, forcing pitchers to attack Abreu rather than walk him with runners on base. Pitchers didn't want to leave the bases loaded for Eloy's light-tower power, so Abreu saw more pitches in the zone.
How has Eloy performed in his rehab games so far?
Eloy very predictably torched the opposing pitchers during his handful of games with the Winston-Salem Dash in High-A ball. He's now moving up to Charlotte, which is described as an incredibly hitter-friendly ballpark.
