White Sox slugger Eloy Jiménez wants to stay in left
Eloy Jiménez has no interest in the designated hitter job with the Chicago White Sox. Jiménez was back in left field for Chicago's 2-0 victory over Cleveland on Friday, one night after an ugly misplay led to another round of questions over whether the talented slugger might be better off at DH. “I’m expecting that over time Eloy will fall into a good category on the defensive side and if it doesn’t, we’ll find ways to continue to augment his playing time out there,” manager Rick Renteria said.
