KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chicago White Sox placed designated hitter Eloy Jiménez on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left adductor strain.

The move is retroactive to Tuesday.

Jiménez last played Sunday against the Detroit Tigers, when he displayed discomfort running to first after hitting a grounder to third in the sixth inning, eventually exiting the game.

He said he was feeling “way better than Sunday” when speaking to reporters Thursday at Kauffman Stadium but admitted frustration with the latest injury, saying, “Things are going to happen. Sometimes I want to go home but I don’t want to give up like that. I’m going to keep working. I’m going to be here for my team.

“Remembering all these years with everything that happened, it’s really frustrating. Especially when you’ve been feeling good and you’ve been preparing yourself good and something happens. But at the end of the day, I’m a warrior. I’m going to keep pushing and I’m going to keep working and I’m going to be there.”

He is 2-for-11 (.182) in three games this season.

In Friday’s corresponding moves, the Sox selected the contract of outfielder Robbie Grossman from Triple-A Charlotte and designated pitcher Alex Speas for assignment.

Grossman, 34, is 4-for-10 with two home runs and five RBIs in three games with Charlotte. The switch-hitter originally joined the Sox as a minor-league free agent on March 22. He hit .238 with 10 homers and 49 RBIs in 115 games with the Texas Rangers last season.
