2 days agoBlue Jays activate Springer and DFA veteran slugger who had yet to show his power
George Springer has been activated from the injured list, marking a significant return for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Jimenez, 28, was a top prospect with the Cubs and White Sox and looked to be emerging as a core piece for the latter when he debuted with a 31-homer rookie campaign back in 2019. The slugger signed a six-year, $43MM contract before ever taking a single at-bat in the majors, and that impressive rookie effort made the contract look like a potential bargain. Unfortunately for Jimenez and the South Siders, injuries derailed his trajectory.
