CHICAGO WHITE SOX NEWS

Josh Harrison - Not starting Friday Harrison (elbow) will be on the bench Friday against the Orioles.

Impact Harrison left Thursday's series opener after getting hit by a pitch in his elbow. That's presumably the reason he's out of Friday's lineup, though he hasn't been quite a true everyday player this season, so it may just be a routine day off. In either case, it will be Leury Garcia who starts at second base Friday.

Luis Robert - Returns to lineup Robert (leg) will bat third and play center field Friday against the Orioles.

Impact Robert left Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays with a sore leg and didn't take part in Thursday's contest, but his absence will turn out to be a brief one. That's great news for the White Sox, as Robert is currently riding a 13-game hitting streak.

Lenyn Sosa - Makes big-league debut Sosa went 0-for-1 with a walk Thursday against the Orioles.

Impact Sosa entered in the sixth inning to make his major-league debut after Josh Harrison (elbow) exited the game. Sosa struck out on four pitches in his first at-bat, but he managed a nine-pitch walk in the following plate appearance. Prior to his promotion, Sosa hit .331/.384/.549 with 14 home runs across 289 plate appearances with Double-A Birmingham.

Leury García - On base twice Thursday Garcia (side) went 1-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Garcia logged nearly a full game Wednesday after shortstop Danny Mendick (knee) made an early exit, but Thursday was Garcia's first start since June 17. He snapped an 0-for-14 skid at the plate with his hit in this contest. The versatile 31-year-old started in center field with Luis Robert (leg) and Adam Engel (hamstring) out of action. Most of Garcia's starts have come in the middle infield this year, but he play virtually all around the diamond as necessary to provide the White Sox with some flexibility. He's slashing .192/.207/.257 with two home runs, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 175 plate appearances this year.

Johnny Cueto - No support in loss Cueto (1-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in 5.1 innings, taking the loss versus the Orioles on Thursday.

Impact Cueto was cruising until the fourth inning, when Adley Rutschman tagged him for a two-run home run. It was Rutschman who added a third run to Cueto's line with an RBI double in the sixth. While it wasn't a particularly sharp outing for the 36-year-old right-hander, he can't win if he doesn't get run support. He's allowed nine runs in 23.1 innings in his last four appearances, and he's got a solid 3.19 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB in 48 innings overall. Cueto is in line for a road start versus the Angels next week.

Lenyn Sosa - Won't start Thursday Sosa isn't included in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Fresh off his promotion from Double-A Birmingham earlier Thursday, Sosa could be eased into the majors as a reserve option. The 22-year-old is an intriguing prospect who looks ready for a stiffer test after turning in a .933 OPS in 289 plate appearances at Birmingham, but he may have to settle for a utility role initially while manager Tony La Russa turns to a combination of Josh Harrison, Leury Garcia and Jake Burger to handle reps at second base and third base. Neither Harrison (.611 OPS) nor Garcia (.456 OPS) have been especially impressive, however, so Sosa may not have to wait long to get an opportunity.

Reese McGuire - Sits out Thursday McGuire is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Chicago's catching situation has been tough to pin down of late. After McGuire made three consecutive starts behind the plate from June 12 through 14, Seby Zavala caught each of the team's next three contests. McGuire then caught three of the White Sox's four games since Sunday, but he'll be back on the bench for Thursday's series opener in favor of Zavala. Though McGuire represents the superior defender of the two, Zavala has thus far showed a more potent bat in a limited sample of MLB action.

Luis Robert - Not starting Thursday Robert (leg) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Robert exited Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays and was expected to be in Thursday's lineup, but he'll ultimately be on the bench for at least one matchup. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench during the series opener against Baltimore. Leury Garcia will shift to center field while Josh Harrison starts at second base.
