Eloy Jimenez Activated by Blue Jays, Gets the Start on Sunday
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Eloy Jimenez was added to the team's MLB roster on Sunday. Jimenez replaces outfielder/designated hitter George Springer (toe), who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured toe. Jimenez last appeared in the big leagues in 2024, hitting .238/.289/.336 with six home runs, 23 RBI, 25 runs scored, and three stolen bases across 349 plate appearances split between the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles. While Jimenez has fallen on hard times in recent years, he was an above-average hitter by measure of OPS+ as recently as 2023. With Springer out, he could have a chance to earn regular playing time in Toronto. In the Blue Jays' Sunday matchup against the Minnesota Twins, Jimenez got the start at designated hitter and batted seventh.
