Top outfield prospect Braden Montgomery is called up by the Chicago White Sox

Top prospect Braden Montgomery has joined the Chicago White Sox after the outfielder was brought up from Triple-A Charlotte

JUNE 9 • Associated Press

Moved to 60-day IL The White Sox transferred Hays (calf) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Braden Montgomery. Hays had a setback with his left calf while on a rehab assignment last week and remains shut down. He is now ineligible for activation until early July, and there is no timetable for the veteran outfielder.

Pulled off rehab after setback Hays has been pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte due to a recurrence of left calf soreness, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hays had played seven rehab contests with Charlotte, but the left calf strain that sent him to the 10-day injured list in early May is still giving him trouble. He'll meet with the White Sox's training staff and develop a plan of attack for his rehab moving forward. Hays has been limited to only 12 games for Chicago this season because of hamstring and calf issues.

At least two more rehab games Hays (calf) will play in at least two more rehab games with Triple-A Charlotte before he is evaluated for a potential return, MLB.com reports.

Impact Hays has played in seven rehab games and has gone 5-for-24 with two homers and a .208 batting average. The Knights will play Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning the earliest Hays could be activated based on this report would be Thursday. However, it's not a certainty that he will return at that point.

Beginning rehab stint Tuesday Hays (calf) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Hays has been out of action since landing on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain in early May. He's already eligible for activation but will presumably need at least a few games to shake rust in the minors. Jarred Kelenic has seen the bulk of the action in right field for the White Sox while Hays has been sidelined.

Taking live BP Manager Will Venable said Saturday that Hays has resumed taking live batting practice and could begin running the bases next week, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Hays landed on the injured list Monday with a strained left calf, and running the bases will likely be one of the final hurdles he has to clear. It remains unknown whether the White Sox will send him out on a rehab assignment before activating him, but an updated timeline for his return may come out after he begins running.

White Sox sign veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk to $1.25 million deal; place Austin Hays back on IL

The Chicago White Sox signed veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk to a one-year, $1.25 million deal on Monday and placed outfielder Austin Hays back on the 10-day injured list because...

MAY 5 • Associated Press

Lands on IL with calf strain The White Sox placed Hays on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Saturday, due to a left calf strain.

Impact Hays appeared in just four games for the White Sox following a three-week stint on the IL due to a right hamstring strain, and the 30-year-old outfielder is dealing with yet another lower-body injury. The severity of Hays' calf strain is not yet clear, but a recovery timeline should be provided by the White Sox once he undergoes further tests. To bolster their depth in the outfield, the White Sox signed Randal Grichuk to a one-year contract Monday, who could see some reps in the outfield due to the absences of Hays and Everson Pereira (pectoral).

On bench again Sunday Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Impact Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Hays has started just twice in the White Sox's ensuing six games. Even with Everson Pereira (pectoral) landing on the IL on Wednesday, Hays looks like he may be limited to a part-time role in the Chicago outfield while he's struggled to a .233/.250/.326 slash line through 44 plate appearances on the season.

First hits since return Hays went 2-for-5 on Wednesday against the Angels.

Impact Hays returned from the injured list Monday, though Wednesday marked his first start. He notched a pair of singles to record his first multi-hit game of the campaign. While he has been used primarily as a reserve option this season, Hays should see an uptick in playing time with Everson Pereira (pectoral) now sidelined.

White Sox activate outfielder Austin Hays from the 10-day injured list

The Chicago White Sox have reinstated Austin Hays from the 10-day injured list after the veteran outfielder was sidelined by a right hamstring strain

APRIL 27 • Associated Press

Reinstated from injured list The White Sox activated Hays (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Hays wound up missing three weeks of action with a right hamstring strain. The veteran outfielder was serving as the team's primary left fielder before getting hurt, but with Sam Antonacci getting an opportunity at that position, Hays could shift over to right field, which would eat into the playing time of Everson Pereira.

Set to begin rehab assignment Hays (hamstring) will embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Hays has been cleared to take the next step in his recovery from a Grade 1 right hamstring strain that caused him to land on the 10-day injured list April 7. He'll head to Triple-A to get some in-game reps and is inching closer to returning to the majors, barring a setback.

White Sox place outfielder Austin Hays on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain

The Chicago White Sox have placed outfielder Austin Hays on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain

APRIL 7 • Associated Press

Placed on 10-day injured list The White Sox placed Hays (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Hays suffered a right hamstring strain while playing the outfield during Monday's game against the Orioles. The injury will shelve him until at least mid-April, though it could be longer, depending on the degree of the strain. Andrew Benintendi could see more action in left field while Hays is out, and Derek Hill, Tanner Murray and Dustin Harris are also options at the position for the White Sox.
