Brian Goodwin - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Heads to IL The White Sox placed Goodwin on the 10-day injured list with lower-back spasms Sunday.

Impact It doesn't appear to be a major injury, so Goodwin figures to be healthy by the time ALDS rosters are set. The outfielder had gone 0-for-17 in his last five games before the injury, and his season-long slash line of .221/.319/.693 is underwhelming. Regardless, Goodwin serves as a valuable depth piece and should be active in the postseason if he's at full health.

Playing time tailing off Goodwin will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter and will bat ninth Monday against the Tigers.

Impact Though he's in the starting nine for the series opener in Detroit, the lefty-hitting Goodwin may have moved into a reserve role at this point. He was on the bench for three of the White Sox's last four games, and two of those absences came against right-handed starting pitchers. Gavin Sheets, Leury Garcia and perhaps even rookie Romy Gonzalez could be ahead of Goodwin in the pecking order for outfield work, and Goodwin's playing time could become even more scarce when Andrew Vaughn (back) returns from the injured list. Goodwin is batting .200 with five extra-base hits in 31 games since the beginning of August.

Enters for Eloy Goodwin replaced an injured Eloy Jimenez (knee) and went 1-for-2 with two RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Oakland.

Impact Jimenez got clipped while sitting in the dugout by a foul ball off the bat of teammate Andrew Vaughn during the second inning. He was on the dugout floor for nearly a minute before popping up. He remained in the game but was eventually replaced by Goodwin after the fifth inning. X-rays were negative, but Jimenez is day-to-day heading into Wednesday's game. If the White Sox choose to play it cautious, then Vaughn could replace him in left field with Goodwin starting in right.
