White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Heading to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Jimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Jimenez experienced a brief scare when he experienced some soreness in his hamstring in his first game back from the injured list in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers, but he proceeded to serve as the White Sox's designated hitter in both of the first two games of the series with the Dodgers. He went 2-for-9 between the two contests, smacking a double while driving in a run. Jimenez didn't report any setbacks with the hamstring coming out of either game against the Dodgers, so he's likely just getting a planned day off Wednesday.

White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Will be in Monday's lineup
Rotowire
Jimenez (hamstring) will be in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The White Sox haven't yet released their lineup for the series opener, but Jimenez has evidently received the green light to make a second consecutive start. Jimenez was noticeably gimpy while running the bases in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers in his first game back from a stint on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain. The apparent aggravation of the hamstring injury won't cause him to miss any starts, at least not yet. Certainly, Jimenez will remain a major injury risk as he attempts to play through some discomfort.
Jimenez experienced hamstring soreness in his return to the lineup in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a run scored.
Jimenez made his return from the 10-day injured list Sunday after missing a month with a left hamstring strain, and he now appears to be dealing with a potential setback. The White Sox are set to launch a three-game series at home versus the Dodgers on Monday, and the 27-year-old's status is worth monitoring leading up the 8:10 p.m. ET opening pitch.

White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Reinstated off IL, starting Sunday
Rotowire
The White Sox reinstated Jimenez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.
Jimenez will serve as the designated hitter and bat third for the White Sox Sunday's series finale against the Tigers. The 27-year-old was placed on the IL on May 22 due to a left hamstring strain but was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 13. After going 8-for-18 with one double, one home run and five RBI over his six games, Jimenez has now been cleared to rejoin the big club. He should settle back in right away as the White Sox's everyday designated hitter, likely pushing Gavin Sheets into a reserve role as a result.
