Engel was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Thursday.
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, though 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.
