  • Sitting Thursday
    Sosa isn't in the White Sox's lineup Thursday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Sosa went 2-for-12 across the first three games of Chicago's series against the Mariners, and he'll now sit down for the finale while Danny Mendick starts at third base and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:46 pm
     
  • On verge of rehab assignment
    Polanco (hamstring) is slated to run the bases before Thursday's game against the White Sox and then head out on a rehab assignment, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Advice: Polanco has been progressively ramping up his level of activity in recent days, apparently without any setbacks. MLB.com reports that general manager Justin Hollander indicated team trainers would jointly assess Polanco's condition with the veteran infielder following Thursday's activity, at which point the length of the rehab assignment would likely be determined.

  • Resting for day game
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Murphy will get a breather for Thursday's matinee after he caught eight innings of Atlanta's 4-2 loss Wednesday night while going hitless across four at-bats. Travis d'Arnaud will spell Murphy behind the plate. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:49 am
     
  • Getting looks at third base
    Caballero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Cubs.

    Advice: He has lost some playing time since the return of Taylor Walls but has still started four of the last six games. Caballero has made starts at second base, third base and shortstop and looks set to settle into a utility role for the Rays. The 27-year-old has also been productive of late, hitting two home runs and swiping three bags across his last 10 appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:51 am
     
  • Jorge Polanco nearing rehab assignment
    Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is nearing a minor league rehab assignment.

    Advice: The 30-year-old infielder is in the midst of his second stint on the injured list due to a balky right hamstring. He has bene shelved since May 26 this time around, so he’s going to need at least a few games at Triple-A Tacoma before he’s ready to rejoin the Mariners. Ryan Bliss will continue to function as the team’s primary second baseman in the meantime. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:21 pm

  • Exits starting nine
    Gordon is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets.

    Advice: Gordon has yet to make a start versus a left-hander this season and will begin Wednesday's game on the bench as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the bump. Bryan De La Cruz will replace Gordon in left field. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:24 pm

  • Resting Wednesday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Jansen will take a seat for the day game after he caught all nine innings of Tuesday's 3-0 win while going 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and an RBI. Alejandro Kirk will replace Jansen behind the dish. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:14 am
     
  • Clubs homer Tuesday
    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: DeJong is up to 13 homers on the year, six of which he's hit over his last 11 contests. He went back-to-back with Andrew Vaughn in the third inning of Tuesday's contest, though that's where the White Sox's scoring ended. DeJong is up to a .240/.290/.490 slash line with 28 RBI, 28 runs scored, two stolen bases and 11 doubles over 62 contests while seeing a starting role at shortstop.

  • Stays hot in loss
    Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Vaughn has hit safely in his last 11 games, going 16-for-44 (.364) with three homers and five RBI in that span. The first baseman is up to a .226/.283/.372 slash line with seven long balls, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored and one stolen base across 62 contests. Vaughn hasn't been at risk of losing playing time in the White Sox's weak offense, but his recent play has positioned him as one of the team's better batters after he shook off his slow start to the campaign.
