KANSAS CITY, Mo. — White Sox prized outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez suffered a mild strain to his left pectoral muscle while working out at the Sox’ spring-training complex, the team said Saturday.

Jimenez, the No. 4 prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, will be held out of baseball activities for about a week and is expected to ramp back up in extended spring-training games before rejoining Class AA Birmingham. Jimenez missed about two weeks during spring training with knee tendinitis.
