Eloy Jiménez has been designated for assignment by the Blue Jays following the reinstatement of George Springer from the injured list. Jiménez struggled to secure a longer look, playing only eight innings in the outfield and failing to produce extra-base hits. His performance included a .290 batting average but an overall wRC+ of 82, indicating below-average offensive production. Despite a promising spring training, Jiménez's major league numbers remained disappointing, leading to his current free agency status.
"Jiménez's .290 batting average looks nice but he didn't produce an extra-base hit, leading to a .290/.343/.290 slash line and 82 wRC+, indicating he was 18% worse than league average at the plate overall."
"Though Jiménez was a potent slugger for much of the 2019 to 2023 window, he hasn't been in good form since, hitting just six home runs in 98 games in 2024."
"There was a bit of optimism among some Jays fans when Jiménez put up a decent .286/.333/.524 line in spring training this year, but his big league numbers were uninspiring."
