Chicago White Sox activate DH Eloy Jimenez off IL ahead of Monday's game at Kansas City

MILWAUKEE -- Just days before the MLB trade deadline, the Chicago White Sox added a bat in the form of injured left fielder/designated hitter Eloy Jimenez.

Jimenez was activated before Monday's game at the Kansas City Royals. To make room for Jimenez, the White Sox optioned infielder Jake Burger to Triple-A Charlotte.

"I feel really excited to be back with the boys," Jimenez said Monday.

Jimenez, 24, has been out since spring training with a torn left pectoral after attempting to catch a ball over the outfield wall.
