KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ The White Sox placed left fielder Eloy Jimenez on the 10-day injured list with right ulnar nerve contusion.
Jimenez suffered the injury in the first inning Tuesday against the Royals. He collided with center fielder Charlie Tilson while both were trying to track down Whit Merrifield's fly ball to left-center field.
"It's a tough play," Tilson said after the game. "We are both running full speed. I called it, called it late. He probably didn't hear me. I haven't had a chance to talk to him about it. Really unfortunate. As an outfielder, you feel terrible especially a guy like Eloy who means so much to our lineup."
Jimenez is batting .244 with 17 home runs and 39 RBIs in 67 games this season. His 17 homers lead all AL rookies.
The Sox also purchased the contract of infielder Ryan Goins from Triple-A Charlotte and outrighted pitcher Juan Minaya to Charlotte.
