Monster performance in slugfest Grandal went 4-for-6 with two home runs, a double and eight RBI in Friday's 17-13 win over the Cubs.
Impact The catcher missed nearly two months while recovering from knee surgery, and he seemed to want to make up for it all at once. Grandal hit three-run blasts in the third and eighth innings while adding a two-run double in the fifth to account for nearly half of the White Sox's run production. The huge game lifted his season slash line to .203/.394/.481 with 16 homers, 46 RBI, 44 runs scored and four doubles through 252 plate appearances.

Impact Grandal was activated from the injured list earlier Friday after missing close to two months with a knee injury. The backstop will resume his season with an underwhelming .188/.388/.436 slash line, but he should get the bulk of the starts while Seby Zavala spells him behind the plate.

Returns from injured list Grandal (knee) was activated off the injured list as expected Friday.
Impact Grandal has been out since early July while recovering from knee surgery. Prior to his injury, he owned a very strange yet productive .188/.388/.436 slash line. He walked (60) nearly twice as often as he recorded a hit (34), but over 40 percent of his hits were homers (14). He's been a similar low-average, high-walk, high-power hitter throughout much of his career, but he'll need to do less damage to fantasy team's batting averages down the stretch if he's to be a quality option in standard setups. Zack Collins was optioned to clear space for him on the roster, so Seby Zavala will serve as his backup for now.

Returning Friday Grandal (knee) will be activated off the injured list Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Grandal has been out since early July after undergoing surgery to repair a torn tendon in his left knee. He's gotten into a full 11 rehab games and has looked good, hitting .303. He should return to his role as the primary catcher down the stretch, though the White Sox likely won't want to overwork his surgically-repaired knee, so he could get more days off than usual in the next few weeks.

Nearing return Manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday that Grandal's (knee) return is "imminent," Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact La Russa previously ruled Grandal out for the team's current road trip in Toronto, but it appears as though the catcher will be back in action in the coming days. The 32-year-old has made nine rehab appearances between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte, and he's slashed .321/.394/.464 with a home run, a double, four runs and three RBI.

Impact La Russa stressed that Grandal hasn't suffered a setback in his recovery from the left knee surgery he required in early July; the White Sox simply aren't keen on rushing him back early while he rebuilds strength in the knee. Grandal will likely remain on assignment at Triple-A Charlotte through at least the end of the week before the White Sox re-evaluate him for a potential activation. Through his first seven rehab games between Charlotte and Double-A Binghamton, Grandal has gone 9-for-20 with a home run and three RBI.
