July 24, 20214 yr I would say by the second week in August they are both back in the sox starting lineup. Grandal probably a week to 10 days after that. Now go get a reliever and a 2nd baseman Hahn and the team will be ready to rock and roll by Sep 1st!

July 24, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Kyyle23 said: This is by design Of course it is but I also think that's a sign he isn't 6 days away from being back on the big league roster. They took it slow with Engel, they've taken it slow with Eloy, I don't see any reason to believe Robert will be any different.
July 25, 20214 yr Eloy will be up this week unless they option him to the minors, that's a given. He started his rehab July 10th and is only allowed 20 days. The latest he can be activated is Friday now baring them using an option year and sending him down.
July 25, 20214 yr Saw the Eloy replays on the post game show. Eloy makes a great catch against the wall on one and then on a fly ball to shallow center, throws out a guy trying to score from third. Nice. Now I would like to see if he still has the bat speed and power he had. Could not tell much from the short Robert video other than he looked like he was doing the right thing by easing into the rehab. Anyway, it was good to see the two friends out there together playing again.. Edited July 25, 20214 yr by tray

It didn't in Spring Training, and only ended when Eloy suffered his major injury. It MUST end at this point. If Luis calls off Eloy, Eloy needs to back off. This needs to be a condition made very clear to Eloy before he takes the field for the Chicago White Sox. https://www.mlb.com/video/jimenez-robert-collide Edited July 25, 20214 yr by South Side Hit Men

The injury is the issue with Robert , not whether he played at all this year. He had a serious injury and just walking again took time. Now he has to do everything expected of a MLB player with great speed while slowly seeing how that hip responds.

July 25, 20214 yr Nice. Very nice. He still has time to hit 15-20 homers. Edited July 25, 20214 yr by black jack
July 25, 20214 yr 8 minutes ago, Heads22 said: It's simple, DH Eloy and start Vaughn in LF. Eloy plays LF sparingly just to stay sharp for the WS and Wrigley. In which case he will be shackled in the field.

July 25, 20214 yr Hell. Yeah. Wish he was available this weekend as a PH but oh well. Will be so nice to have him back.

July 25, 20214 yr On 6/14/2021 at 1:52 PM, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: I trust Eloy's judgment on this about as much as I trust his judgment on how to stay injury free. Eloy's judgment? You mean a 24 year old player that wants to make every effort to bring back a a home run? OK< it was pre-season, but that is what competitive athletes do - they compete. It could be a game of pick-up basketball in the alley, it doesn't always prevent a guy from trying to make a play. If you want to mock him for that, well go ahead. Never forget, White Sox fans claimed Avi Garcia was a lifetime DH after he was injured diving for a ball. Now AviG is a pretty valuable member of an NL team with no DH. I think Avi has something like 17 HR ... before today's game. Unfortunately, the Brew crew are tougher and Rowdier than I thought.
