MILWAUKEE -- Just days before the MLB trade deadline, the Chicago White Sox are adding a bat in the form of injured left fielder/DH Eloy Jimenez.
Jimenez, 24, has been out since spring training with a torn left pectoral after attempting to catch a ball over the outfield wall. He'll be activated on Monday in time to face the Kansas City Royals.
The White Sox have thrived even without Jimenez in the lineup.
"The fair thing for him is to feel like 'let me take my at-bats and help out,'" White Sox manager Tony La Russa said.
