Eloy Jimenez activated from 60-day IL, homers in return to Chicago White Sox lineup

Eloy Jimenez made an impactful return to the Chicago White Sox lineup Wednesday, homering in his first game in over two months.

Jimenez was activated from the 60-day injured list before the afternoon finale of Chicago's three-game series against the Minnesota Twins and started in left field. It marked his first game with the White Sox since April 23, when he suffered a right hamstring strain while running to first base.

After striking out in his first at-bat Wednesday, Jimenez blasted a towering two-run homer in the fourth inning that just snuck around the left-field foul pole, tying the score at 3-3.
