Eloy Jimenez

Jimenez has some warts, without question. He hits the ball on the ground too much, doesn't walk enough, and will provide nothing in the stolen base category. But he makes up for all of that by hitting the ball really, really, really hard pretty much every time he steps up to the plate. Jimenez ranks no worse than the 90th percentile in barrel rate, expected slugging percentage, average exit velocity, and hard hit percentage, and has hit 45 home runs in 177 MLB games. Playing in Guaranteed Rate Field helps, of course, and Jimenez should pretty easily provide nearly 40 home runs with strong runs and RBI over the course of a full season. Draft him as a borderline top-10 outfielder.

Eloy Jimenez (foot) leaves Game 3 after doubling

Eloy Jimenez was removed from Game 3 of the Wild Card Round in the third inning.

Fantasy Impact

Jimenez missed the final weekend of the regular season due to a mid-foot sprain he suffered last Thursday. He returned to the lineup for Game 3 but appeared to be hobbling following a third inning double. The White Sox will likely update his status after the game.
