CHICAGO — Chicago White Sox left fielder Eloy Jiménez exited Wednesday’s 6-4 victory against the Seattle Mariners with left ankle soreness.
After further evaluation, the Sox said X-rays were negative and he is day to day with a bruised ankle.
Jiménez fouled a pitch off his ankle during a third-inning at-bat that ended in a strikeout. He was in left field the next two innings before Leury García hit for him in the fifth.
Second baseman Josh Harrison left before the eighth with lower back stiffness. The Sox said he’s being further evaluated.
Jiménez has been one of the most productive hitters in the Sox lineup. He homered to left in the second against 2021 American League Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray — his first home run of the season — and leads the team with seven RBIs.
The Sox also got back-to-back homers from Tim Anderson (three hits, three RBIs) and Luis Robert in the seventh, while Dallas Keuchel went five innings for the win. Keuchel allowed three runs on six hits with no walks and five strikeouts.
