White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Exits with hamstring injury
Jimenez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays with a left hamstring strain.
Jimenez appeared to be limping after scoring from second base during the fifth inning of Tuesday's contest, and Gavin Sheets later replaced him as Chicago's DH during the seventh. The severity of Jimenez's injury remains unclear, but the White Sox will take a closer look at him and should offer more information on his status after the game.

White Sox's Eloy Jimenez: Swipes third bag
Jimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday against the Yankees.
Jimenez had a hit in all three games of the team's weekend series, but none went for extra bases, and he also didn't record any RBI or runs. However, he did steal his third base of the season Sunday and his second in his last four games. It's unclear what has led to his sudden aggressiveness on the basepaths, as he had never attempted a stolen base across the first five seasons of his career.

Ryan O'Hearn RF | PIT
Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Smacks homer in win
O'Hearn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.
O'Hearn had gone nine games without an extra-base hit, hitting .240 (6-for-25) with three RBI in that span. The 30-year-old broke his power drought with a third-inning homer off Mariners starter George Kirby to give the Orioles a 4-1 lead. O'Hearn is up to six homers, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .288/.368/.510 slash line through 33 contests in a strong-side platoon role while seeing time at designated hitter and first base and in the corner outfield spots.

Daniel Vogelbach DH | TOR
Blue Jays' Daniel Vogelbach: Scores thrice
Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rays.
Vogelbach needed his second career triple to hit for the cycle Sunday after notching a single, double and solo homer off Aaron Civale. The performance marked Vogelbach's 10th career game with at least three hits and his first since July 7, 2023. Sunday's homer was Vogelbach's first of the season and could be what he needs after opening 2024 going 4-for-37 (.108) at the plate.
