CHICAGO _ The White Sox placed left fielder Eloy Jimenez on the 10-day injured list because of a high right ankle sprain, the team announced Sunday. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Jimenez left Friday's game against the Tigers in the third inning after crashing into the left-field wall at Guaranteed Rate Field on Grayson Greiner's two-run homer. Jimenez raced back, jumped and his right foot hit the wall. He fell and had to be helped off the field.
Jimenez singled to center in his only plate appearance Friday. In his first 21 games in the major leagues, Jimenez has a .241 batting average with three home runs and eight RBIs in 79 at-bats.
Earlier Friday, he was reinstated after being placed on the bereavement list on April 22. He went to his hometown of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, following the death of his grandmother, Flora Sanchez. He missed the three games in Baltimore.
The Sox also placed right-hander Nate Jones on the 10-day injured list because of right elbow inflammation. Jones is 0-1 with a 3.48 ERA. He has 10 strikeouts and two holds in 13 relief appearances.
The Sox recalled left-hander Aaron Bummer and right-hander Thyago Vieira from Triple-A Charlotte. Bummer is 0-0 with a 2.35 ERA and six strikeouts in five appearances with Charlotte this season. He had a 4.36 ERA with 52 strikeouts in 67 games with the Sox in 2017-18.
Vieira is 2-0 with a 5.00 ERA with the Knights. He has seven strikeouts and two saves in seven relief appearances. Vieira pitched in 16 games with the White Sox in 2018.
