Sent to alternate site Mendick was optioned to the alternate training site Thursday.

Impact The 26-year-old saw regular playing time at second base while Nick Madrigal was on the injured list, but he's appeared in only five games since the start of September. Mendick has a .243/.281/.383 slash line with three homers in 114 plate appearances and could rejoin the team when additional infield depth is needed.

Starts at third Mendick started at third base Sunday in place of the injured Yoan Moncada (leg) and went 0-for-4 in a 5-2 win over Kansas City.

Impact Mendick had a steady run at second base when Nick Madrigal was sidelined by a shoulder injury, but with the rookie returning over the weekend, Mendick is back to a depth role. Moncada is expected to return Monday.

Sits Saturday Mendick was replaced at second base by the returning Nick Madrigal on Saturday.

Impact Mendick had been a fixture at second base and at the bottom of the White Sox's order while Madrigal rehabbed a shoulder injury. He took advantage of the opportunity -- .757 OPS, three home runs -- but Madrigal is a top prospect and will be the primary starter going forward.

Drills third homer Mendick went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 10-3 win against Pittsburgh.

Impact The 26-year-old capped off the White Sox's four-run second inning by hitting a two-run shot to right field. Mendick has been a fixture at the bottom of the lineup with Nick Madrigal (shoulder) and Leury Garcia (thumb) sidelined, and he's taken advantage of the opportunity with a .266/.314/.443 slash line and nine runs, three homers and six RBI in 25 games.

Smacks first homer Mendick went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday against the Tigers.

Impact Mendick smacked his first home run of the season, taking Rony Garcia deep in the sixth inning. He's gotten regular playing time in the absence of both Leury Garcia (thumb) and Nick Madrigal (shoulder), and has held his own by maintaining a .275/.327/.412 line across 55 plate appearances. However, he has batted exclusively in the bottom third of the order, limiting him to five runs scored and only one RBI.

Starts both ends of doubleheader Mendick went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored across both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Impact Mendick appears to be firmly entrenched as the starting second baseman for the White Sox, who placed Leury Garcia (thumb) on the 45-day injured list Saturday. With both Garcia and Nick Madrigal (shoulder) unavailable, Mendick should be the primary option at second base until Madrigal, who is playing catch and taking groundballs, is ready to return. Mendick is batting .273 (12-for-44) with no RBI in 15 games.

Collects three hits Monday Mendick started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Monday's 5-1 loss to Detroit.

Impact Mendick's started seven straight and eight of the last nine games while the White Sox covered for the loss of shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) and second baseman Nick Madrigal (shoulder). Mendick and Leury Garcia, who sustained a hand injury and left Monday's game, have been manning the middle infield. Mendick's performed well during this run, going 10-for-27 with three runs and two extra-base hits in his eight starts. However, his presence could end soon; Anderson is expected back Tuesday. Mendick's playing time will depend on how Garcia, who opened the season as the team's starter at second base, checks out in his medical evaluation.

Starts at second base Mendick started at second base and went 3-for-3 with a double in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Mendick posted a career-high three hits as a fill-in at second base. The White Sox placed starting second baseman Nick Madrigal on the 10-day injured list after the rookie injured his shoulder Tuesday while sliding into third base. Mendick is expected to be the primary fill-in while Madrigal mends. That could change when shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) returns, which will free up Leury Garcia to play second base.

Fills in for Madrigal Mendick replaced the injured Nick Madrigal (shoulder) in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Brewers. He went 0-for-3 with a run scored.

Impact Mendick entered the game after Madrigal injured his shoulder on a slide into third base. The White Sox have been hit with several injuries, including shortstop Tim Anderson (groin). Leury Garcia, who opened the season as the starting second baseman, moved to shortstop. That leaves Mendick as the most likely fill-in at second base while Madrigal heals. Mendick has a middling track record as a hitter in the minors.

Makes first appearance Mendick started at third base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 14-2 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Mendick, a utility infielder, filled in for a resting Yoan Moncada and later moved to second base when Leury Garcia was needed in the outfield. The White Sox's outfield suffered a blow when Eloy Jimenez left with light-headedness. If Garcia is needed for outfield duty, then Mendick could find a stream of at-bats at second base.

Uncertain status for Opening Day White Sox hitting coach Frank Menechino is uncertain how many at-bats Moncada (undisclosed) will need to be ready for the regular season, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Time...

Impact Moncada, who was placed on the injured list Friday, could be eligible to return before the regular season starts. He has not yet reported to camp and described his hitting activity at home in Miami during the shutdown as "limited." Menechino was at first reticent to estimate a number of at-bats Moncada needs once he's been activated but then offered a timeline to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. "I think 10, 15 at-bats to see where he's at. And then, probably, I'd say 20 at-bats to get him started in the right direction," Menechino said. "As far as days, I don't know what he's able to do while he's not here." If Moncada is unable to start the season, Leury Garcia or Danny Mendick could fill in at third base.
