OAKLAND, CALIF. — Left fielder Eloy Jimenez is not in the lineup for the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of the best-of-three wild-card series against the Oakland A’s at Oakland Coliseum.
“We put him through the wringers and (he had) a little discomfort, so we are going to have him hopefully available for maybe a big pinch hit,” Sox manager Rick Renteria said before the game.
The Sox announced their 28-man roster before the game. Infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia is back from the 45-day injured list and will start in left field.
Garcia went on the injured list Aug.
