Jimenez, who is expected to miss 2-3 weeks, suffered the injury running the bases during Monday’s home opener against the San Francisco Giants.
The 26-year-old is hitting .200 (4-20) with three RBI, two doubles, and three walks in five games.
One of the game’s most feared sluggers when healthy, injuries have been a common occurrence for Jimenez in recent years. The Dominican native was sidelined for over two months last season with a right hamstring strain and missed over three months during the 2021 campaign due to a ruptured left pectoral tendon.
The White Sox recalled infielder Jake Burger from Triple A-Charlotte in a corresponding move.
Chicago continues its three-game set with the Giants on Wednesday, where the White Sox are currently -134 on the moneyline per FanDuel Sportsbook.
