Jimenez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.
Jimenez will be UTIL-only heading into 2024 in leagues that require 15-plus games to qualify at a position, as he only played 14 games in the outfield this year and 105 at designated hitter. He slashed .272/.317/.441 with 18 home runs, 50 runs and 64 RBI.

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

White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Jumps back into lineup
Rotowire
Jimenez (groin) will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter and cleanup batter in Monday's game against the Marinres.
Before landing on the paternity list Friday, Jimenez missed the White Sox's preceding game last Wednesday due to a groin injury. He returned from paternity leave Monday and apparently healed up from the groin issue while he was away from the team, so he'll be ready to reclaim his usual spot in the heart of the Chicago lineup.

White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Back from paternity list
Rotowire
The White Sox reinstated Jimenez from the paternity list Monday.
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.

White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Available to pinch hit
Rotowire
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.
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.

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