On bench for third straight game Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact The switch-hitting Baldwin will hit the bench for the third game in a row, though he'll be out of the lineup against a right-handed starter (Taijuan Walker) on Wednesday after sitting against lefties in the first two contests of the series. Kyle Teel will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter in the series finale while Chicago rolls out an outfield of Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert and Mike Tauchman from left to right.

Hitting bench Monday Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Michael Taylor will pick up a start in the outfield in place of Baldwin, who had been included in the lineup in five of Chicago's previous six contests. Baldwin has maintained a lowly .615 OPS over 187 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he could nonetheless be in line for a near-everyday role over the final two months of the campaign while the 38-68 White Sox play out the string.

Getting third straight start Baldwin will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact The White Sox will keep Baldwin in the lineup for a third straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Taj Bradley), after he went 1-for-7 with a home run and three RBI in the first two contests of the series. For the season, the 24-year-old Baldwin is hitting just .222/.264/.364 over 178 plate appearances, but he may continue seeing plenty of starts over the final two months of the campaign while the non-contending White Sox prioritize playing time for their younger players down the stretch.

Scratched Tuesday Baldwin was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Toronto due to lower-back tightness.

Impact Baldwin entered Tuesday looking to extend his five-game hitting streak, but he'll instead move to the bench and give his back time to heal. Austin Slater will fill in as Chicago's left fielder and bat eighth while Baldwin recovers.

Settling into everyday role Baldwin will start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Baldwin will occupy center field for the fifth straight game and the sixth time in seven contests following his promotion from Triple-A Charlotte on July 1. Though Luis Robert (hamstring) will eventually reclaim everyday duties in center when he returns from the injured list, Baldwin's ability to play either corner-outfield spot as well as the three infield positions could allow him to retain steady playing time if he warrants it. Since his call-up, Baldwin has gone 6-for-17 with one home run, two doubles, two walks, three runs, three RBI and one stolen base.

Goes yard in loss Baldwin went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Baldwin broke up Dustin May's shutout bid in the eighth inning. Baldwin has struggled for playing time when in the majors lately, and his best path to starts is in center field while Michael Taylor (neck) is out of the lineup and Luis Robert (hamstring) is on the injured list. For the season, Baldwin is batting .216 with a .605 OPS, four homers, 18 RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases over 152 plate appearances.
