White Sox Minor Keys: July 10, 2021

Eloy Jiménez's rehab stint starts at the right time for a few reasons. There's the obvious part of him helping a White Sox lineup, but he also can slide seamlessly into the DH role with Winston-Salem because Yoelqui Céspedes is in Denver for the Futures Game, which takes place at 2 p.m. CT today on MLB Network.

In the meantime, Jiménez wasted no time laying waste to High-A pitching, going 2-for-4 with this bullet homer in the front end of the Dash's doubleheader with Hickory on Saturday.
