The 25-year-old was called up last week by Chicago and produced a .241/.241/.241 slash line across 30 plate appearances in his first taste of the majors.

White Sox's Rikuu Nishida: Hitting bench after pair of starts
Nishida is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
The White Sox will shield the left-handed-hitting Nishida from Twins southpaw Connor Prielipp and will go with Randal Grichuk in right field in place of the rookie. After being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Nishida opened his MLB career with a pair of starts against Minnesota and went 2-for-7 with a run scored between those contests. Nishida looks like he'll get a look as a strong-side platoon outfielder after the White Sox designated Jarred Kelenic for assignment Monday.
