Lenyn Sosa - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent to minor-league camp The White Sox optioned Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Sosa entered camp seemingly with a shot at winning one of the wide-open middle infield spots with the White Sox, but he's being sent out even as he went 4-for-13 with one home run in seven Cactus League contests. The White Sox look like they will open the year with Paul DeJong and Nicky Lopez as their double-play duo.

On bench again Monday Sosa is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Sosa is on the bench for the fifth time in seven games and appears to have lost his grip on the everyday role at second base, with veteran Elvis Andrus re-emerging as the top option at the position. Since the beginning of September, Sosa has mustered a lowly .446 OPS in nine games.

Losing work to Andrus Sosa is not in Saturday's lineup against the Twins.

Impact Sosa had a hold on the second base job for the second half of August but has been sharing time at the position since the start of September. Elvis Andrus will be in the lineup for the fifth time in the last seven games.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Wednesday Sosa is absent from the lineup Friday versus the Twins.

Impact Sosa has recently been sharing starts at second base with Elvis Andrus, who will cover the position and bat eighth Thursday against the Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober. Sosa is sitting on a four-game hitting streak, but he owns a rough .196/.200/.341 overall season slash line in 143 major-league plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Wednesday Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Sosa dominated the playing time at second base for Chicago in late August and early September, but veteran Elvis Andrus has taken on a larger number of starts lately. That's the case Wednesday, with Andrus manning the keystone and batting ninth.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out afternoon game Sosa is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Royals.

Impact He's been seeing the bulk of the playing time at second base for the Pale Hose since being recalled last month, but he'll yield to Elvis Andrus for the afternoon game. Sosa will likely be back at the keystone for the second contest.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Friday Sosa isn't in the White Sox's lineup Friday against Detroit.

Impact Sosa will get a breather Friday after starting September 2-for-14 through four games. Elvis Andrus will man the keystone and bat seventh while Sosa rests.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Tuesday Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Sosa has been the White Sox's primary option at second base over the past couple weeks, and he's likely to remain in that role since he has an .820 OPS in his last 15 games. However, it'll be Elvis Andrus that starts at the keystone Tuesday versus Kansas City righty Brady Singer.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets Sunday off Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Elvis Andrus will get the start the keystone in the series finale while Sosa sits for the first time since Aug. 24. Sosa has slashed .260/.260/.500 with four home runs and nine RBI in 15 games during his latest stint with the White Sox and should be locked into a near-everyday role down the stretch while the non-contending club plays out the string on a losing season.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Socks fifth homer Sosa went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Orioles.

Impact The second baseman went yard for the third time in the last five games and the fifth time this season, getting the White Sox on the board in the third inning by driving a Dean Kremer sinker over the fence in right-center. Sosa has seized control of the starting job at the keystone by batting .333 (12-for-36) over the last 11 games with four long balls and nine RBI, but his 0:9 BB:K during that hot streak suggests that while his power is legitimate, he could still be a batting average and OBP risk down the stretch.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Belts another homer Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's victory over the Athletics.

Impact Sosa was one of three White Sox players to hit a home run Saturday, tagging JP Sears for the long ball in the second inning. After logging one homer in his first 24 games, Sosa has launched three long balls in the last six days. During that stretch, Sosa is 6-for-22 (.272) and has been handling most of the work at second base.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Emerging as starter at keystone Sosa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 12-4 loss to the A's.

Impact He got the White Sox on the board by slicing a Zach Neal cutter the other way over the right-field wall in the second inning, but Chicago was already in a 5-0 hole at that point. Sosa has started four of the last five games at second base as Elvis Andrus shifts into a utility role, and the younger infielder has earned the assignment by batting .273 (6-for-22) over his last seven games with two homers and seven RBI.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers three-run homer Sosa went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Rockies.

Impact Sosa didn't start the contest, but he entered as the replacement when Elvis Andrus was ejected for yelling from the dugout. The blast was Sosa's second of the campaign, and he's gone 3-for-9 with five RBI over three games since he was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. The infielder is at a middling .156/.167/.273 slash line with eight RBI and five runs scored over 79 plate appearances. His time as a regular in the lineup may come to a close when Tim Anderson's suspension ends Wednesday.

Lenyn Sosa hits 3-run homer as Chicago White Sox rally past Colorado Rockies 10-5

Lenyn Sosa capped Chicago’s seven-run eighth inning with a three-run homer, and the White Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 to avoid a sweep

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drives in two Sosa went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Rockies.

Impact Sosa has drawn consecutive starts at second base in the absence of Tim Anderson (suspension), while Elvis Andrus has shifted to shortstop. Sosa has gotten bits of major-league experience in the last two seasons but has struggled significantly in both stints. His effort Saturday was encouraging -- it was his third multi-hit performance in 35 career games -- though it did come at Coors Field. Once Anderson is reinstated, Sosa is likely to lose playing time and potentially his roster spot.

Recalled from Charlotte The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Impact Sosa will likely get a few starts on Chicago's infield while Tim Anderson serves his five-game suspension for an on-field fight with Jose Ramirez earlier this month. Sosa, 23, holds a career .126 batting average and .366 OPS in 33 games (106 plate appearances) at the major-league level.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting call Friday Sosa is expected to be called up to the White Sox on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The 23-year-old can help fill in at shortstop while Tim Anderson serves his five-game suspension for brawling with Jose Ramirez earlier this month. Sosa has flashed good power in the minors but holds a career .126/.143/.223 batting line in 106 major-league plate appearances.

Optioned to Triple-A Sosa was optioned Friday to Triple-A Charlotte.

Impact Sosa gets the boot to clear out a 26-man roster spot for Yoan Moncada, who has been activated following a four-week absence with a lower-back injury. Sosa, 23, is slashing just .132/.145/.221 in 70 plate appearances this season at the major-league level.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Covering second base Sosa is starting at second base and hitting ninth for the White Sox on Thursday in Kansas City.

Impact It's his third start since he was recalled a week ago. Sosa has just one hit in 11 at-bats over that span as he continues to scuffle at the dish with the big club.

MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Thursday.

Impact Sosa was just optioned Monday but is back to take the spot of the injured Jake Burger (oblique). He is getting a start at second base Thursday.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to minors The White Sox optioned Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Sosa's demotion to the minors opens up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Tim Anderson (knee), who is expected to be formally reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Twins. The 23-year-old was unable to capitalize on Anderson's absence, as Sosa recorded just eight hits in 53 at-bats (.151 average) upon being recalled from Triple-A on April 11.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits amid slump Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Sosa has taken on a near-everyday role in the middle infield since Tim Anderson (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 11, but the 23-year-old hasn't done much to capitalize on the opportunity. After mustering just one hit in 18 at-bats over his last six games, Sosa will retreat to the bench Tuesday while Romy Gonzalez gets a turn at second base.
