Chisox star Jiménez out 5-6 months, Rays’ Anderson ailing

A week before opening day, the Chicago White Sox found out slugger Eloy Jiménez will be closed down for most of the season. Jiménez is expected to be sidelined for five to six months after rupturing his left pectoral tendon trying to make a play in the outfield during an exhibition game. The 24-year-old Jiménez needs surgery to repair the injury, putting his season in jeopardy.  Jiménez batted .296 with 14 homers and 41 RBIs in 55 games during the pandemic-shortened season. Also, Tampa Bay reliever Nick Anderson will likely be out beyond the All-Star break with an elbow tear.
