White Sox left fielder Eloy Jimenez is expected to miss five or six months with a torn pectoral after yesterday’s collision at the wall. It’s a devastating blow to a team with World Series expectations.
Hearing the news on CWS outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not good. Could be out most of the summer (5-6 months) with a torn pectoral @MLBNetworkRadio

Chicago is deep with talent, so they should have some answers offensively elsewhere in that lineup, but this is still brutal. It’s never ideal for any team worth a rip to lose an everyday player–let alone a borderline star like Eloy Jimenez.
Jimenez batted .296 last season with 14 homers and 41 RBI. Good luck replacing that…
