Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is expected to be out for five to six months after rupturing the pectoral tendon in his left arm while trying to make a play during a spring training game.

The 24-year-old will have to undergo surgery, with general manager Rick Hahn saying they’ll know more about if he’ll be able to return this season after he begins rehab.

Jimenez had 31 home runs in his first year in the majors in 2019, and had 14 homers and 41 RBIs in 55 games during last year’s pandemic-shortened season.
