    • Filling in for resting Lee
      Maldonado will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Top backstop Korey Lee is getting a breather for the day game after he started at catcher in each of the previous days, so Maldonado will get a turn behind the plate. Maldonado is valued for his defense, but with an .088/.140/.132 slash line and a minus-24 wRC+, he's been the league's least-productive hitter among all players with at least 100 plate appearances this season.

    • Getting rest day
      Lee is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Lee will get a breather for Thursday's day game after he caught all three of the White Sox's games versus the Dodgers earlier this week. Martin Maldonado checks in for Lee behind the plate. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
       
    • Not starting Thursday
      Sheets (heel) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Sheets was forced out of Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers with a bruised left heel and is considered day-to-day. The 28-year-old could end up filling more of a part-time role for the White Sox moving forward in the wake of Eloy Jimenez's recent return from the injured list, so Sheets may not re-enter the lineup for a few more days even if he quickly shakes off the heel injury.
