White Sox Place Eloy Jimenez, Nate Jones On IL

By Connor Byrne | April 28, 2019 at 9:45am CDT

The White Sox announced that they have placed outfielder Eloy Jimenez (high right ankle sprain) and reliever Nate Jones (right elbow inflammation) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Saturday in both cases. The club recalled left-hander Aaron Bummer and righty Thyago Vieira in corresponding moves.

There’s no timetable for the return of Jimenez, whom the White Sox will re-evaluate in two weeks, Bruce Levine of 670 The Score tweets. They’re left to hope the 22-year-old makes it back in relatively short order thereafter, and Jimenez seems optimistic that will be the case.

“Yeah, it feels much better,” he said Sunday (via Scott Merkin of MLB.com). “The first day, I couldn’t even walk. Now, I feel better. I can walk better. There’s no pain a lot now, just a little bit.”

Jimenez is one of the keys to Chicago’s rebuild, someone the team signed to a six-year, $43MM guarantee before he ever set foot on a major league diamond. And though Jimenez has gotten off to a slow start as a rookie, having hit .241/.294/.380 with three home runs in 85 plate appearances, that subpar production shouldn’t dampen the enthusiasm about his long-term outlook.

Jones’ latest ailment is troubling considering the laundry list of injuries, including to his pitching arm, he has battled during his career. Now 33, Jones has been among the game’s finest relievers at times, though this season has been another story. While Jones owns a 3.48 ERA and a 51.7 percent groundball rate in 10 1/3 innings, he has accompanied those respectable figures with a dip in velocity and declining strikeout, walk and swinging-strike rates (8.71 K/9, 6.1 BB/9, 9.1 percent).

    Jones is done a good RP a few years ago but lately he’s either hurt or….

    White Sox player development is unimpressive. Coach the kids to play smarter. Jiminez will help the team with his bat not hurting himself trying to make acrobatic moves with the glove. Luis Robert kept hurting himself making head first slides in spring training and A ball games rather than staying healthy and developing. There are reasons they don’t develop talent like other organizations. Don’t tell me you can’t coach players to play smart. You can.

      I hear you on that. Blue Jays have had that problem for many years.

        I promise you I’ve coached more kids than you ever will. And yes. For your knowledge they are all coachable and I’ve corrected many bad, unnecessary habits.

          This ain’t little league. Literally everyone slides heads first in the MLB. Good luck with your overly simplistic assumptions about why players get hurt, “coach”.

      Easier said than done. Nobody ever accused Kris Bryant of being a dumb player when he struggled last season after suffering a bone bruise to his shoulder on a headfirst slide on May 19.

      The HR that Eloy Jimenez got hurt on trying to climb the left field wall was non-catchable. Hopefully more experience in LF and at Guaranteed Rate Field will prevent him from repeating that error. The White Sox don’t need Jimenez to be their next Adam Eaton who finally learned to curb his enthusiasm and stopped crashing into walls after too many stints on the injured list during his rookie season on the South Side. Hopefully Jimenez will put this mistake behind him and not turn into the next Jorge Soler.

    “Before he ever set FOOD on a major league diamond” lol. C’mon Connor, clean it up. I thought he was selling concessions prior to being called up.

    “Evaluate in two weeks” in Hahn speak means he’s out for at least two months.

    We still have no idea what is going on with John Jay.

    Super random reference but has anyone heard Eloy’s Ocean? I always think of that prog rock album when I see Eloy Jimenez news.

    I hope Eloy has a speedy return. He’s fun to watch and has the tools to become a really special, impact player. I just hope he doesn’t turn into Jorge Soler. A player who processed a lot of talent but was almost always battling through injuries.

    Jiminez is more Jorge Soler than Super Star and his “slow start” is likely closer to his ceiling than peoples hype let them think.

      Ya I’m sure that’d be same case had the Cubs not traded him, right?

      20 games is a pretty small sample size to predict how the rest of his career is headed.
