Eloy Fought the Wall

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.

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