15 Adam Engel CF

Engel was optioned to Triple-a Charlotte following Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Engel has struggled at the plate to kick off the 2019 campaign, hitting .212 with a home run and four RBI over 26 games. He'll get a chance to find his swing in the minor leagues following Sunday's roster move.

Engel went a collective 4-for-5 with an RBI and two runs in Wednesday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

Engel came off the bench to produce a pinch-hit single in the first game, then logged his first multi-hit performance of the season in the nightcap. Eloy Jimenez's recent move to the injured list should open up extra opportunities for Engel, but his paucity of power and poor contact skills (career 31 percent strikeout rate) put a major cap on his fantasy upside.

Manager Rick Renteria suggested Thursday that Engel would remain the White Sox's fourth outfielder following the demotion of Daniel Palka to Triple-A Charlotte, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Engel had been occupying the short side of a platoon with Palka, but it doesn't appear Engel will even be tasked with handling that modest role any longer. The White Sox summoned Ryan Cordell from the minors to fill Palka's spot on the active roster and immediately inserted him as the starting right fielder in Thursday's series opener with the Tigers. Renteria intends to use Cordell regularly as a right or center fielder versus both left- and right-handed pitching, leaving no spot in the lineup for Engel against opposing southpaws.

Engel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Engel heads to the bench after starting in center field in the first two games of the series. Though he's seen his role increase over the past week, Engel still appears to be stuck in the short side of a platoon in the outfield with Daniel Palka.

Engel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 12-5 loss to the Mariners.

For the second time in three games, Engel entered the lineup in place of Daniel Palka against a left-handed starter. Engel has rapped a double and a homer in those two games.
