CHICAGO WHITE SOX NEWS

Danny Mendick - Diagnosed with torn ACL Mendick was placed on the 10-day injured list with a torn right ACL on Thursday.

Impact Mendick sustained a knee injury in a collision during Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, and he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the season after an MRI revealed a torn ACL. The 28-year-old will presumably undergo surgery and get moved to the 60-day IL at some point, while Lenyn Sosa's contract was selected from Double-A Birmingham to provide depth in the infield. It's not yet clear whether Mendick will be ready for the start of the 2023 regular season. He'll wrap up his fourth year in the majors with a .289/.343/.443 slash line to go with three home runs, 22 runs, 15 RBI and a stolen base across 106 plate appearances.

Adam Engel - Placed on 10-day IL Engel was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Thursday.

Impact Engel had a part-time role in the White Sox's outfield recently but he sustained a right hamstring injury during Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. He'll be forced to miss at least a week and a half after being diagnosed with a strain, but a timetable for his return isn't yet clear. Gavin Sheets was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday and will provide additional depth in the outfield while Engel is sidelined.

Liam Hendriks - Recovering well Hendriks (forearm) began throwing this week and is recovering well, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact After throwing from 60 feet Monday, Hendriks was quoted as saying, "Everything is exactly where we are expecting it to be. Now the challenge on my behalf tends to convince them that I can come back quicker than they are trying to let me." Hendriks is targeting July 1 for his return from the 15-day injured list. In the meantime, Kendall Graveman and Joe Kelly will mix in for save chances, with Kelly recently tallying the first Chicago save in Hendriks' absence.

Lenyn Sosa - Contract purchased by White Sox Sosa's contract was purchased from Double-A Birmingham on Thursday, Jeff Cohen of Future Sox reports.

Impact Sosa is one of the top breakout prospects in baseball, as he slashed .214/.240/.282 in 33 games at Double-A last year and slashed .331/.384/.549 with 14 home runs and a 13.8 percent strikeout rate in 62 games with Birmingham this year. The 22-year-old spent time at shortstop, third base and second base while at Double-A and could see steady playing time in the short term with Leury Garcia (side) and Danny Mendick (knee) banged up and Yoan Moncada (hamstring) on the injured list.

Eloy Jiménez - Back in action with Charlotte Jimenez (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Impact Jimenez started at designated hitter for the second consecutive game with Charlotte. He has one hit in eight at-bats, but he has shown no sign of setbacks. While positive progress, it may be a few days before Jimenez is activated if the White Sox want him to get work in the outfield.

Jake Burger - Tallies first triple Burger went 2-for-5 with a triple an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Burger led off the seventh inning with a triple and came around to score on a single by Reese McGuire. With Yoan Moncada (hamstring) back on the injured list, Burger has a clear path to playing time at third base. He has an impressive .790 OPS across 167 plate appearances on the season.

Adam Haseley - Tallies first RBI Haseley went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday against Toronto.

Impact Haseley started for the third time since being called up Sunday, hitting eighth while playing left field. He delivered his first RBI of the season on a fielder's choice in the eighth inning after logging a single in the previous frame. Haseley could see significant playing time in the short term if Luis Robert (leg) and Adam Engel (hamstring) -- both currently day-to-day -- are forced to miss further time.

JUNE 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Vaughn - Another three hits Vaughn went 3-for-5 with a run scored Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Vaughn capped off a strong series against Toronto, tallying eight hits across 14 at-bats with two RBI and three runs scored in a three-game stretch. He's also put together six multi-hit performances in his last nine starts, increasing his batting average to .333 for the season. Vaughn has an excellent .887 OPS across 212 plate appearances on the campaign.

Lucas Giolito - Delivers another rough outing Giolito (4-4) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays after surrendering seven runs on 11 hits with three strikeouts and one walk across five innings.

Impact Giolito generated 10 swinging strikes on 95 pitches but gave up five extra-base hits, including a grand slam to Bo Bichette during the fourth inning. The right-hander had a 2.63 ERA through his first seven starts of the year, but in his past five outings he's allowed 30 runs (27 earned) with a 25:11 K:BB over 25.2 innings. Giolito tentatively lines up to next take the mound Monday against the Angels.

Danny Mendick - Slated for MRI Manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that Mendick (knee) will receive an MRI, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Mendick exited Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays due to right knee discomfort, an injury that he sustained during a collision in the top of the second inning. The White Sox will likely have a better idea of the 28-year-old's status once the results of his MRI are known.

Impact The 24-year-old appeared to be in some discomfort while running the bases after his single during the sixth inning, and manager Tony La Russa opted to lift the outfielder from the contest as a precaution. Assuming Robert has no additional issues Thursday, he should be back on the field for the series opener versus Baltimore.

Luis Robert - Departs with apparent injury Robert was removed prior to the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays due to an unspecified injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports. He went 1-for-3 with an...

Impact He's the third White Sox player to leave the game early with an injury, as Danny Mendick (knee) and Adam Engel (hamstring) preceded him in being pulled from the contest. Robert appeared to suffer the injury in question on his lone hit of the day in the sixth inning, when Fegan noted that the 24-year-old looked to be in some discomfort while running the bases. It's a good sign that Robert was at least able to play the next inning in the field, and his removal in the top of the eighth may have been due in part to the White Sox trailing by seven runs. Expect the team to provide an update on the nature of Robert's injury after the game.
