Preliminary diagnosis for Eloy: torn hamstring

It didn’t look good on the field, it didn’t seem sunny postgame, and late Saturday night came preliminary confirmation that, indeed, the news on Eloy Jiménez was real bad.

Eloy Jimenez initial diagnosis is right hamstring tear (also sometimes called strain). White Sox are only saying hamstring injury is “significant” until their own docs see him. Tony La Russa did say they expect him to miss less time than he missed with pec injury last year.

Last year, you’ll recall, it was a torn pectoral muscle late in spring training that kept Jiménez out until July 26, missing the first 99 games of the season.
