Up from Triple-A The White Sox recalled Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Impact Baldwin has caught fire since being sent down to Triple-A in mid-May, slashing .380/.437/.734 with seven homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases across 19 games. His hot streak will now buy him another shot with the White Sox as a replacement for Joshua Palacios, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Baldwin has experience playing every position in the field other than first base, which significantly boosts his chances of picking up big-league starts.

On bench for second straight game Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Impact The switch-hitting Baldwin will hit the bench for the second day in a row, sitting this time against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans after being held out of the lineup against a right-hander (Lance McCullers) on Sunday. Baldwin doesn't have a regular spot at any one position, but his ability to play all over the infield and outfield should allow him to make at least a handful of starts per week while he's up with the big club.

Taking seat Sunday Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Impact The White Sox infield has become more crowded in recent days with the returns of Chase Meidroth (thumb) and Josh Rojas (toe) from the injured list, but the versatile Baldwin may still have a fairly clear path to playing time due to his ability to play all three outfield spots. The 24-year-old will take a seat Sunday, however, as the White Sox roll out a starting outfield of Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert and Joshua Palacios from left to right.

Pops two-run homer Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Athletics.

Sitting out Thursday Baldwin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Impact The White Sox haven't committed to using Baldwin at any one position, but his status as a switch hitter and his ability to play all three outfield spots and three infield spots should allow him to hold down a near-everyday role. He'll hit the bench for the series finale, however, opening up a start for Michael Taylor in center field.

Accounts for team's only run Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics.
Impact Baldwin gave the White Sox an early lead with his solo shot in the third inning, but that was the only run the team ended up scoring. It was the second long ball and eighth RBI of the season through 15 games for Baldwin, tying his total in each category across 33 contests last season. Baldwin has also shown improvement with a .267 batting average so far after hitting just .211 last season, though he continues to be averse to walks with just one free pass on the campaign.
