BRIAN GOODWIN NEWS

Heads to open market Goodwin became a free agent Friday after declining an outright assignment to the minors.

Impact Goodwin was a serviceable part-time player for the White Sox last season, hitting .221/.319/.374 (good for a 94 wRC+) in 271 trips to the plate while spending time at all three outfield spots. He should be able to latch on somewhere in a similar role this winter but has little upside to be anything more than that given that he's heading into his age-31 season.

Not on ALDS roster Goodwin (back) isn't included on the White Sox's ALDS roster, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Goodwin landed on the 10-day injured list with lower-back spasms in late September, and he won't be available to begin the ALDS. Whether he'll return if the White Sox advance to the ALCS remains to be seen.

Heads to IL The White Sox placed Goodwin on the 10-day injured list with lower-back spasms Sunday.

Impact It doesn't appear to be a major injury, so Goodwin figures to be healthy by the time ALDS rosters are set. The outfielder had gone 0-for-17 in his last five games before the injury, and his season-long slash line of .221/.319/.693 is underwhelming. Regardless, Goodwin serves as a valuable depth piece and should be active in the postseason if he's at full health.

Impact Goodwin last saw game action Thursday, when he started in right field and went 0-for-3. Manager Tony La Russa said the outfielder's back "kind of locked up on him," leaving his availability for this weekend's contests in question.

Playing time tailing off Goodwin will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter and will bat ninth Monday against the Tigers.

Impact Though he's in the starting nine for the series opener in Detroit, the lefty-hitting Goodwin may have moved into a reserve role at this point. He was on the bench for three of the White Sox's last four games, and two of those absences came against right-handed starting pitchers. Gavin Sheets, Leury Garcia and perhaps even rookie Romy Gonzalez could be ahead of Goodwin in the pecking order for outfield work, and Goodwin's playing time could become even more scarce when Andrew Vaughn (back) returns from the injured list. Goodwin is batting .200 with five extra-base hits in 31 games since the beginning of August.
