AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against righty again Fletcher is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Fletcher appeared to be headed for a strong-side platoon role in the White Sox outfield after he was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on July 29, but he now finds himself on the bench for the fourth game in a row and the second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher. Rather than committing to Fletcher in a regular role in right field alongside Luis Robert and Andrew Benintendi, Gavin Sheets has continued to receive playing time at the position, while the White Sox have rotated a number of different players at designated hitter.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Tuesday Fletcher isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Fletcher will be missing his third consecutive start after going 3-for-11 in five games since returning to the majors. Gavin Sheets will fill the opening in right field while Lenyn Sosa serves as Chicago's DH, moving Brooks Baldwin into second base with Nicky Lopez at shortstop.

Idle against LHP Fletcher is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Taking on regular role in outfield Fletcher is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Fletcher had started each of the White Sox's last four games in the outfield, going 3-for-11 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI over that stretch. Though he'll be on the bench for the series finale, the lefty-hitting Fletcher looks like he'll be given the opportunity to play regularly against right-handed pitching after the White Sox shipped Tommy Pham to the Cardinals prior to the trade deadline.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins major-league club The White Sox recalled Fletcher from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Fletcher is absorbing the roster spot vacated by Tommy Pham, who was traded to the Cardinals. The 26-year-old Fletcher has just a .480 OPS in 28 games with the White Sox this season but could play semi-regularly around the outfield.

JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, optioned to Charlotte The White Sox reinstated Fletcher (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Impact Fletcher's rehab assignment was transferred from the Arizona Complex League to Triple-A on Thursday, and he'll remain in Charlotte despite being fully recovered from his left shoulder strain. The 26-year-old outfielder slashed just .173/.253/.227 across 84 plate appearances during his time in the majors, though a return to Chicago may be possible if Fletcher heats up in the minor leagues.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Moves rehab assignment to Triple-A Fletcher (shoulder) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday and went 2-for-7 with a solo home run and a walk in his first two rehab games with the cl...

Impact Fletcher had previously played in two rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before reporting to Charlotte. The outfielder has been on the shelf since June 4 with a left shoulder strain and shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment, but the White Sox could nonetheless choose to keep him with Charlotte throughout the week since the team might not have a spot available for him on the big-league roster. Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert and Tommy Pham are the White Sox's regular starters in the outfield, with Corey Julks and Gavin Sheets available as depth options behind them.

JULY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 60-day IL Fletcher was recalled from Triple-A Reno and placed on the 60-day injured list Monday with a fractured left index finger.

Impact Fletcher suffered the injured at Reno in late August. Adding him to the major-league IL allows the Diamondbacks another 40-man roster spot, which they will use on Andrew Saalfrank. Fletcher is now officially done for the season.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on minor-league IL Fletcher (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Fletcher was optioned to Triple-A Reno in early July and has maintained a .252 average with seven home runs, 25 RBI and 35 runs scored in 31 games since. Those numbers were achieved in a hitter-friendly environment, though it's still possible he'll get another chance in Arizona before the close of the campaign. However, this injury will decrease that likelihood.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Reno Arizona optioned Fletcher to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Impact Fletcher had gone 4-for-15 with zero extra-base hits since being recalled to the majors June 30. This demotion seems like good news for the status of Corbin Carroll's right shoulder.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Fletcher was not in Tuesday's starting lineup, as Corbin Carroll returned from a shoulder injury.

Impact Fletcher had made three consecutive starts, playing all three outfield spots, while Carroll rehabbed his injury. He entered Tuesday's game as a pinch runner and finished out the game in right field.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opportunity could close Fletcher started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.

Impact Fletcher made a third straight start in place of Corbin Carroll, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury since last Thursday. Carroll served as a pinch hitter Sunday and could rejoin the team Tuesday, which would curb Fletcher's at-bats. It's unclear how the Diamondbacks will adjust the lineup once Carroll is ready, as they currently have six outfielders on the roster. Presumably, either Fletcher or Kyle Lewis will head back to Triple-A Reno.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in for Carroll Fletcher started in left field and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Angels.

Impact Fletcher, who was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday, filled in for the injured Corbin Carroll, who suffered a shoulder injury and was removed from Thursday's game. Fletcher was up with the Diamondbacks earlier this season after the team demoted Alek Thomas and was initially quite productive. He had a 1.231 OPS through the first two weeks before tailing off with a .427 OPS over the subsequent two weeks. Arizona also recalled outfielder Kyle Lewis from Reno on Friday, so the Arizona outfield will be a crowded one once Carroll is ready.

Bittersweet reunion: Fletcher brothers face each other for 1st time in majors after father's death

David and Dominic Fletcher got to play against each other for the first time in a major league game

JULY 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Called up Friday Fletcher was called up from Triple-A Reno on Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Fletcher will return to the major-league roster after being sent down in late May, batting .328 with two doubles, a triple, seven RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base over 58 at-bats in 13 games since his demotion. The 24-year-old has compiled a .308/.349/.474 slash line with eight extra-base hits, including two homers, over 78 at-bats in 22 contests with Arizona in 2023. Additionally, Fletcher will face off with his brother David Fletcher and the Angels upon his return to the big leagues Friday.

JUNE 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Diamondbacks optioned Fletcher to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Impact Fletcher got off to an extremely hot start after reaching the big leagues for the first time in late April, but he's cooled off tremendously since then. He will return to Reno, where he's slashing .323/.417/.559 through 109 plate appearances, and could be brought back up to the majors if he returns to form. Jake McCarthy is set to return to the D-backs and fill Fletcher's spot on the roster.

MAY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Replaces optioned Thomas Fletcher started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Fletcher was prominent on both ends. After nailing Tony Kemp at home plate in the seventh inning to preserve a 3-3 tie, he scored Arizona's final run as part of a two-run ninth inning. Fletcher moved into the center field spot that was once held by Alek Thomas, whom the Diamondbacks optioned to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday. The former had usurped at-bats from Thomas since being called up at the end of April and now will become the primary center fielder.
