White Sox's Luis Robert: Could return in mid-May
White Sox GM Chris Getz said Friday that Robert (hip) could be back from the injured list in mid-May, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
The 26-year-old was given a six-week recovery timeline after he landed on the shelf April 6 with a Grade 2 right hip flexor strain, and it appears he may be slightly ahead of schedule. Veterans Tommy Pham and Rafael Ortega had their contracts selected by Chicago on Friday and should see most of the action in center field until Robert can return from the injured list.

White Sox's Rafael Ortega: Joins big-league roster
The White Sox selected Ortega's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Ortega was slashing .241/.378/.431 with three home runs and six stolen bases for Charlotte. Given Chicago's dearth of quality options, the 32-year-old could see semi-regular reps in the outfield.

White Sox's Dominic Fletcher: Optioned to Triple-A
The White Sox optioned Fletcher to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Fletcher has slashed just .203/.277/.271 with a 20:4 K:BB over 66 plate appearances with the White Sox. He had begun seeing his playing time dip, and now the club will give the 26-year-old a reset back in the minors.

White Sox's Kevin Pillar: Designated for assignment
The White Sox designated Pillar for assignment Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
The 35-year-old posted a .160/.290/.360 slash line through 32 plate appearances, and he'll lose his place on Chicago's 26-man and 40-man rosters to make room for Tommy Pham. Pillar could elect to become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

White Sox's Tommy Pham: Added to big-league roster
The White Sox selected Pham's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Signed to a minor-league contract April 15, Pham has been knocking some rust off at Charlotte, where he went 5-for-17 with one double, two stolen bases and a 3:1 K:BB. The 36-year-old should receive regular playing time in the outfield for the White Sox, with most of it likely to come between center and right field. Pham had a .774 OPS with 16 homers and 22 steals in 2023 and makes for a viable fantasy option in most formats.

White Sox's Andrew Vaughn: Swipes first bag
Vaught went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Twins.
Vaughn singled in his first trip to the plate before stealing his first base of the season. He added a double in his next at-bat, then came around to score on a Paul DeJong single to put Chicago up 2-0, marking the first baseman's first multi-hit performance since April 9 against the Guardians. Vaughn is batting just .170 (15-for-88) following the two-hit effort, though he has hit safely in three of his last four games.

White Sox's Michael Soroka: Allows two runs in no-decision
Soroka did not factor into the decision against the Twins on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over five innings.
Soroka walked Alex Kirilloff on four straight pitches to open the bottom of the first inning and appeared to be headed for another rough outing, but the right-hander was able to work his way out of the jam despite a two-out single. Soroka actually shut out the Twins over the first five innings before giving up back-to-back home runs to lead off the sixth. It marked the first time in his last four starts that he was able to make it through five innings, but he sports a dismal 13:14 K:BB through 29 innings on the season to go with his 6.83 ERA and 1.69 WHIP.

White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Throws 60 pitches
Clevinger allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out three across 3.1 innings Thursday with Triple-A Charlotte, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Clevinger is ramping up his workload after signing with the White Sox a few days after the season began. He threw 60 pitches in his appearance Thursday and will increase his workload to 75 pitches in his next outing, which will also come with Charlotte. Assuming all goes well, Clevinger's third appearance of the campaign will come in the majors -- setting him up to debut around May 5.

White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Making first rehab start Thursday
Clevinger will make a rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday against Lehigh Valley, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Clevinger will be making his first start with a minor-league affiliate, as he has been pitching in extended spring training games after re-signing with the White Sox on a one-year deal April 2. Manager Pedro Grifol said Thursday that Clevinger will throw four innings and/or 60 pitches in his first start with Charlotte and then progress to five innings and/or 75 pitches in his next outing. Clevinger could be ready to join the White Sox's rotation after that, setting him up for his season debut as soon as May 5 in St. Louis.

White Sox's Martin Maldonado: Sits in second straight game
Maldonado is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Maldonado finds himself on the bench for a second straight day, ending a stretch of eight consecutive contests in which he and Korey Lee alternated turns behind the dish. With the White Sox sitting on a 3-21 record and the 37-year-old Maldonado having recorded just two hits in 42 at-bats on the season, it's possible that the organization will begin to start phasing him out to open up more opportunities for the 25-year-old Lee.

White Sox's Dominic Fletcher: Sits in favor of Pillar again
Fletcher is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
For the second straight day, the lefty-hitting Fletcher finds himself on the bench as the White Sox oppose a right-handed starting pitcher (Simeon Woods Richardson). Kevin Pillar will get another nod in center field in place of Fletcher after he slugged a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: On bench Thursday
Benintendi is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Benintendi will head to the bench for the second time in the four-game series in Minnesota as the White Sox hand Robbie Grossman a start in left field. Though he's produced a .395 OPS through 88 plate appearances on the season, Benintendi's role still appears fairly secure while he's in the second season of a five-year, $75 million contract.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Breaks hitless streak
Shewmake went 1-for-3 with a run scored and two stolen bases Wednesday against the Twins.
Shewmake sat two straight games, but he returned Wednesday to start at second base and hit eighth. He also ended a four-game hitless streak with a bunt single in the fifth inning before stealing a pair of bases -- including home. Shewmake is hitting just .158 across 40 plate appearances on the campaign, but he has chipped in four stolen bases and is striking out at just a 12.5 percent clip.

White Sox's Korey Lee: Clubs solo homer
Lee went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.
Lee reached safely in two of his three plate appearances Wednesday, tagging Joe Ryan for a solo home run in the third inning and working a walk in the fifth. He stole second after the free pass, marking his first-career steal in the big leagues. After batting .077 and .160 over small samples in 2023 and 2022, respectively, Lee is off to a much better start to 2024, slashing .256/.310/.462 with five RBI and five runs scored.

Pillar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.
Pillar hadn't picked up a hit since April 13 (six at-bats), and Wednesday's homer was his first long ball of the campaign. Pillar is batting .174 with three RBI across 29 plate appearances.
