Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez was having surgery Tuesday to repair a ruptured left pectoral tendon, and general manager Rick Hahn said the slugger still is expected to miss five to six months.
Hahn said the timeline hasn't changed, though he left the door open for Jiménez to return sooner.
"There's a chance, certainly, that he beats that traditional timeframe for this type of injury of five to six months," he said. "But quite candidly, no one's going to know that for at least 12 weeks until he's completed the healing process and the rehabilitation side of this injury.
