Shipped to White Sox Pollock was sent from the Dodgers to the White Sox on Friday in exchange for Craig Kimbrel, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Leaving Los Angeles could potentially be a boost to Pollock's value, as the Dodgers' depth allows them to rotate heavily, though that rotation may have also helped keep the oft-injured outfielder on the field. Still, there's the possibility of a small bump in playing time with this trade as well as a better home park, and he's gone to one of the only lineups that doesn't represent a large downgrade from the one he had around him with the Dodgers. Gavin Lux should see more playing time for Los Angeles in his absence.

Back in action Tuesday Pollock (soreness) will start in left field and bat fifth in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Reds, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pollock was removed from the lineup ahead of Monday's game against the White Sox due to general body soreness, but his re-entry into the starting nine one day later implies he was scratched mainly for precautionary purposes. The 34-year-old won't be in any danger of missing Opening Day, provided he experiences no injury-related setbacks in the next two weeks of spring training.

Dealing with general soreness Pollock was scratched from Monday's Cactus League lineup due to general body soreness, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pollock doesn't have the cleanest injury history, but this particular issue seems like nothing to be worried about. The veteran will avoid overtaxing himself in an exhibition contest and should still have plenty of time to prepare for Opening Day.

Scratched from lineup Pollock was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox for undisclosed reasons, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The bar to scratch a player from a Cactus League game is quite low, so it's entirely possible there's nothing to worry about here. Still, given Pollock's injury history, it wouldn't be a surprise if he were dealing with an actual issue. If he's forced to miss time to open the season, Gavin Lux would likely be elevated from a super-utility role to a near-everyday job, with Zach McKinstry and Matt Beaty also candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Impact Pollock was overshadowed by Chris Taylor's three-homer effort, but the duo combined to account for 10 of the 11 runs driven in. Pollock took Max Fried yard in the second inning and followed that up with a three-run blast in the eighth inning to provide the Dodgers with plenty of insurance runs. The homers were Pollock's first of the postseason, though he has at least one hit in five of his last six appearances.
