He has to occasionally, even if he's not the primary LF.

Exactly he will play left maybe twice a week to keep him happy.

😭😭😭 they’re really going to let him back in LF aren’t they? 

you gotta play him in LF at least a few times a week to keep the rust off. if the Sox make it to the WS, Eloy isn't gonna be on the bench in NL parks

Is there going to be a live feed of this game because I will totally watch his at bats

[EloyJenkins 1,737]

Oh boy, based on those batting cage swings, the Athletic was SO right, clearly has no power and is rushing this... 

[pcq 1,094]

He looks plenty strong.

[Tnetennba 3,153]

I wish they would only DH him as well, but hopefully being out for a large chunk of time has taught him not to be stupid or reckless out there.  Or someone has his ear about playing smarter in the field.

[pcq 1,094]

If you were family you would make sure he has a will and power of attorney. We just have to roll with it.

Watching Charlotte, they may need him to pitch tonight as well

eloy batting now

Eloy struck out with a man on 3rd but Yerminator doubled him home

Eloy might kill someone in AAA

More likely to be with a glove on his hand, vs. a bat in his hands.

All kidding aside, glad to see him with solid at bats.

Maybe some guys don't hit as well as a DH.

You know who else doesn't hit well?  Guys on the injured list.

Google translate: My Trusted Source tells me that The Dominican 🇩🇴 #EloyJimenez could be back with the #MLB team as fast as at the end of this week or starting the series on Monday vs the Twins #WhiteSox

I would be surprised if he’s back by the end of this week but you never know.

Makes sense.  You know he is a successful MLB hitter and he is murdering balls at over 100 mph exit velo so he is healthy.  Why waste his bullets/swings down in AAA.

It's not so much his performance as wanting to see how his body responds to playing games every day for a while before bringing him back. I'd be really surprised to see him before Milwaukee.

Good point.  No need to rush as there may be soreness after repeated days playing.  The blessing in all of this is that even if the trade deadline is underwhelming, we have Eloy and Robert soon.  But just gut feeling that Grandal will be longer than we expect.

Yeah but him playing in Charlotte is no different than playing here in that regard. You are going to play him it might as well be in Chicago. If he gets sore you rest him. Now if he is in Charlotte to get swing timing down or used to playing again without hurting the MLB team's chance at winning, then keep him down.

There's been no talk of adding a catcher (though I think Molina would be an ideal get) so that tells me that they expect Grandal back early enough to get a few weeks in before the postseason.

Easier to rest him on a AAA roster though. Once he's back on the Sox, someone else is gone. Can't bring him back until you're confident he can play at least 5-6 games a week.
