Following Tuesday night’s 7-1 exhibition win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, the White Sox set their 2019 Opening Day roster. In the process, they also helped provide some clarity on where Eloy Jimenez will be starting the season. Fans will be happy to know that he has officially made the Major League roster, and will most likely be making his MLB debut on Thursday afternoon in Kansas City. This move appeared more and more likely after Jimenez signed a contract extension with the team last week.
