Nursing hand injury Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets while tending to a right hand injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. "Probably take it slow," interim manager Grad...

Impact The injury helps explain why Baldwin will be on the bench Sunday for a fifth consecutive game, after he had previously handled a near-everyday role in the White Sox middle infield following his call-up from Triple-A Charlotte on July 19. The White Sox should have steady playing time available in the infield for Nicky Lopez, Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa while Baldwin is tending to the injury.

The infielder is now at a .222/.271/.356 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI, eight runs scored and six doubles through his first 96 plate appearances in the majors.

Impact Baldwin slugged his first career home run Saturday and followed that up with his second multi-hit game since being recalled July 19. He's also moved up to second in the order as the White Sox attempt to find long-term pieces to their lineup, hitting in between Miguel Vargas and Luis Robert.

Swats first career homer Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

Impact Baldwin temporarily tied the score at 2-2 in the sixth inning with a solo shot off Bailey Ober. The long ball was his first as a major-leaguer in his 14th career game. Baldwin shouldn't be expected to hit for much power -- he went deep a modest eight times in 82 games in the minors this season prior to his mid-July call-up -- but he batted .324 and swiped 17 bases during that span, so there's certainly potential for him to be a useful fantasy producer. However, he's struggled against major-league pitchers thus far with a .167/.200/.313 slash line through 50 plate appearances.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Baldwin is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Notches second steal Baldwin went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Baldwin earned the first multi-hit effort of his big-league career, and all three of his doubles in the majors have come over the last two games. He also picked up his second steal. Baldwin is still hitting just .207 over nine contests, but the White Sox appear committed to giving him a long look at second base in the second half. His speed is his best asset, but that won't shine through until he gets on base more consistently.

Tallies first RBI Baldwin went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Monday against the Rangers.

Impact Baldwin has started all four games at second base since being promoted for his big-league debut Friday. He's gone 2-for-14 with six strikeouts, though he showed some of his fantasy potential with both his first RBI and stolen base as a big-leaguer in Monday's contest. Baldwin's primary fantasy value looks likely to come from his speed, as he had 17 stolen bases across 82 games with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte before reaching the majors.
