Sitting after three straight starts Slater is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Slater started in each of the White Sox's last three games while the team went up against right-handed pitching. Though he went 4-for-10 with a double, two walks, three runs and one RBI in those contests, Slater still looks as though he'll be limited to a short-side platoon role so long as Mike Tauchman's sore right groin doesn't force him to the injured list. Tauchman remains out of the lineup Sunday, but Michael Taylor will get the nod in right field over Slater.

Sitting after three straight starts Slater is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Slater started each of the White Sox's last three games while the team went up against right-handed pitching, as Mike Tauchman tends to a groin injury. Though he went 4-for-10 with a double, two walks, three runs and one RBI in those contests, Slater still looks as though he'll be limited to a short-side platoon role when the outfield is fully healthy. Michael Taylor will get the nod in right field Sunday over Slater.

Chicago White Sox activate OF Austin Slater from the 10-day injured list

The Chicago White Sox have activated Austin Slater from the 10-day injured list after the outfielder made a speedy recovery from a knee injury

MAY 19 • Associated Press

Back from IL The White Sox activated Slater (knee) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Slater missed a little over a month of action following surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He will see regular at-bats versus lefties, at the very least, and could play plenty against righties, too, particularly until Andrew Benintendi (calf) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) return.

Starting rehab assignment Slater (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Slater is less than a month removed from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, but he has been cleared to test things out in game action. The veteran outfielder should be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list before the end of May if all goes well on his rehab assignment.
