What is the story about?

George

Springer is back from the IL and Eloy Jiménez has been DFAed to make room.

Jiménez was hitting .290/.343/.290 in 35 PA with no extra base hits. I’ll admit to being surprised, I figured it would be Yohendrick Pinago heading back to Buffalo, but if Eloy isn’t hitting for power, he doesn’t have much value and with Springer back, there is no room at DH for Eloy.

Welcome back George. Let’s have some home runs, please.
