Jimenez started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.
Jimenez, who hasn't played the field since returning from a groin injury that cost him four games, swatted his first hit since returning when he plated the White Sox's second run with an eighth-inning double. The hit snapped an 0-for-13 skid, which includes plate appearances before the injury. Andrew Vaughn and Leury Garcia have started in left field while Jimenez has served as the DH.
