brijames1957 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I would say by the second week in August they are both back in the sox starting lineup. Grandal probably a week to 10 days after that. Now go get a reliever and a 2nd baseman Hahn and the team will be ready to rock and roll by Sep 1st! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems unlikely to me he'd go from that to being on the ML roster within the span of 6 days. This is by design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took it slow with Engel, they've taken it slow with Eloy, I don't see any reason to believe Robert will be any different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Eloy will be up this week unless they option him to the minors, that's a given. He started his rehab July 10th and is only allowed 20 days. The latest he can be activated is Friday now baring them using an option year and sending him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Saw the Eloy replays on the post game show. Eloy makes a great catch against the wall on one and then on a fly ball to shallow center, throws out a guy trying to score from third. Nice. Now I would like to see if he still has the bat speed and power he had. Could not tell much from the short Robert video other than he looked like he was doing the right thing by easing into the rehab. Anyway, it was good to see the two friends out there together playing again.. Edited July 25, 2021 by tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the bullshit "yuk yuks" between Eloy and Robert would end with La Russa. It didn't in Spring Training, and only ended when Eloy suffered his major injury. It MUST end at this point. If Luis calls off Eloy, Eloy needs to back off. This needs to be a condition made very clear to Eloy before he takes the field for the Chicago White Sox. https://www.mlb.com/video/jimenez-robert-collide Edited July 25, 2021 by South Side Hit Men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury is the issue with Robert , not whether he played at all this year. He had a serious injury and just walking again took time. Now he has to do everything expected of a MLB player with great speed while slowly seeing how that hip responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 8 minutes ago, Heads22 said: It's simple, DH Eloy and start Vaughn in LF. Eloy plays LF sparingly just to stay sharp for the WS and Wrigley. In which case he will be shackled in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloy's judgment? You mean a 24 year old player that wants to make every effort to bring back a a home run? OK< it was pre-season, but that is what competitive athletes do - they compete. It could be a game of pick-up basketball in the alley, it doesn't always prevent a guy from trying to make a play. If you want to mock him for that, well go ahead. Never forget, White Sox fans claimed Avi Garcia was a lifetime DH after he was injured diving for a ball. Now AviG is a pretty valuable member of an NL team with no DH. I think Avi has something like 17 HR ... before today's game. Unfortunately, the Brew crew are tougher and Rowdier than I thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
