ADAM ENGEL NEWS

Starting Thursday Engel (shoulder) will start in right field and bat eighth in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Giants, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact ngel underwent a shoulder cleanup procedure in early November, but he'll be able to make his Cactus League debut against San Francisco on Thursday. After the 30-year-old avoided arbitration with the White Sox by agreeing to a one-year, $2 million contract Tuesday, he looks set to fill at least a part-time role for the team in 2022. At this point, Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert and Andrew Vaughn look to have locks on everyday roles in two of the everyday spots in the outfield and designated hitter, leaving the likes of Engel, Leury Garcia and Gavin Sheets to jockey for playing time at the other outfield spot.

Settles with ChiSox Engel (shoulder) agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the White Sox on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Engel has yet to make his Cactus League while he builds back up from the cleanup procedure for his left shoulder that he required early in the offseason, but that won't deter the White Sox from keeping him in the fold for 2022. When healthy, Engel likely profiles as Chicago's fourth outfielder thanks to the solid defense he offers at all three spots, though he's shown some unexpected growth as a hitter over the past two seasons. Across 233 plate appearances since the start of the 2020 campaign, Engel has slashed .270/.335/.488 with 10 home runs and an 8-for-9 success rate on stolen-base attempts.

Gets shoulder cleanup Engel had his left shoulder cleaned up after the season ended but is expected to be ready for the start of next season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Engel missed over a month in the second half with a shoulder injury and evidently wasn't fully healthy even after he returned. He should fill a part-time role again next year if he recovers as anticipated, as he's hit .270/.335/.488 in 75 games across the last two seasons.

Takes batting practice Engel (leg) took batting practice Sunday but is not yet ready to return to action.

Impact Engel needs at least three days from the time he took batting practice before he's ready for action in the field -- that makes Wednesday's series finale against the Reds the earliest he could return.

Andrew Vaughn and Leury Garcia have started in right field while Engel has been sidelined.

Dealing with discomfort Engel won't play Friday in Cleveland due to discomfort in his leg, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Engel had only just returned from a shoulder injury Tuesday and didn't make it long before another issue popped up. The issue, which popped up while he ran the bases, doesn't appear to be related to the shoulder problem but could be related to the hamstring troubles which sent him to the injured list twice earlier in the season. Andrew Vaughn will start in right field.

Impact Engel was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday and could be in line for consistent at-bats as the primary right fielder, although the White Sox have several others capable of playing the position. Engel is deemed the best defender of the bunch and needs the work after getting just 125 plate appearances this season due to injuries.

Should return Tuesday Manager Tony La Russa said Engel (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Engel has been on the injured list with the shoulder injury over a month and will rejoin Chicago's active roster Tuesday. The 29-year-old has a .248/.339/.505 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 19 runs and seven stolen bases in 33 games this season. Engel should operate as a fourth outfielder when the White Sox are fully healthy, but he could see increased playing time until Andrew Vaughn (back) can return from his own injury.
