Well, another year, another injury for Eloy Jiménez, battling inanimate objects in the outfield.
With none out in the top of the second at Camelback Ranch, Sean Murphy launched a blast out to left field off of Chisox starter Lance Lynn. Jiménez, as he has attempted in the past, made a try at robbing the home run by vaulting himself onto the wall.
Not good. Eloy exits the game after trying to rob a home run. pic.twitter.com/7rQ0BDbwy7

The attempt was not outright ludicrous, as the arc of the ball appeared no more than 10 feet beyond his glove.
