Jimenez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 11-10 loss against Kansas City.
Jimenez got the White Sox on the board in the fifth inning with a solo blast off Jordan Lyles, cutting the deficit to 9-1 and jumpstarting an improbable comeback in an eventual one-run Chicago loss. The homer snapped a 14-game power outage for Jimenez, with his last long ball coming back on Aug. 25. He's now batting .273 on the year with a .763 OPS, 16 homers, 58 RBI and 45 runs scored across 425 plate appearances.

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: 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.
