LENYN SOSA NEWS

Heads back to minors The White Sox optioned Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Sosa's demotion to the minors opens up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Tim Anderson (knee), who is expected to be formally reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Twins. The 23-year-old was unable to capitalize on Anderson's absence, as Sosa recorded just eight hits in 53 at-bats (.151 average) upon being recalled from Triple-A on April 11.

Sits amid slump Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Sosa has taken on a near-everyday role in the middle infield since Tim Anderson (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 11, but the 23-year-old hasn't done much to capitalize on the opportunity. After mustering just one hit in 18 at-bats over his last six games, Sosa will retreat to the bench Tuesday while Romy Gonzalez gets a turn at second base.

Making fifth straight start Sosa is starting at second base and batting eighth for the White Sox in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

Impact It's the fifth straight start for Sosa, who is 3-for-16 with a home run in his previous four contests. The 23-year-old is one of the White Sox' better prospects and is worth using in deeper fantasy leagues while he's playing regularly, although that might only last while Tim Anderson (knee) is out.

Homers in first start Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Twins.

Impact Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday after Tim Anderson (knee) went down. He drew his first start Wednesday and took Jhoan Duran yard in the ninth inning to tally his first homer of the season and second of his career. Sosa was off to a hot start with Charlotte before his promotion, and he should mix into the starting lineup at second base and shortstop along with Elvis Andrus and Romy Gonzalez so long as Anderson is sidelined.

Recalled from Triple-A Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sosa has crushed the ball for Charlotte in the early going this season, sporting a .448/.556/.828 batting line with a couple home runs. The 23-year-old is a candidate to see starts at second base with the big club while Elvis Andrus plays shortstop with Tim Anderson (knee) out.

To open year at Triple-A Sosa was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Impact Sosa is on the 40-man roster and made his big-league debut in 2022, but more development is needed in the upper levels of the minors. Chicago brought in veteran Elvis Andrus to serve as a placeholder at the keystone, with Sosa and Jose Rodriguez the most intriguing internal long-term options behind him.

Sent down Friday Sosa was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Sosa lost out on consistent playing time recently and will head to the minors after hitting just .114 with a home run, a double, three runs and an RBI over 11 games in the majors. Elvis Andrus was signed by the White Sox on Friday and should serve as the primary shortstop while Tim Anderson (hand) and Leury Garcia (back) are on the injured list.

On bench in second straight game Sosa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

Impact Even with Leury Garcia (back) joining Tim Anderson (hand) on the injured list Wednesday, Sosa won't necessarily be handed the keys to the everyday shortstop role. In fact, Sosa will find himself on the bench Thursday for the second day in a row, as fellow rookie Romy Gonzalez draws another start at shortstop after going 1-for-4 with a double in his 2022 MLB debut. Since joining the White Sox on Aug. 7, Sosa has gone 3-for-22 (.136 average) with a solo home run in six games.

Riding pine Wednesday Sosa isn't starting Wednesday against the Astros.

Impact Sosa has hit just .136 with a solo home run and eight strikeouts over his last six matchups and is out of the lineup for the third time in the last five games. Romy Gonzalez will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Slugs first career homer Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Impact Sosa drew his first start since being recalled Sunday and he delivered his first career home run. He has a very limited major-league sample but has maintained an .878 OPS across 387 plate appearances between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte this season. However, Sosa may struggle to find regular at-bats with the White Sox, as Josh Harrison and Yoan Moncada have been locked into the lineup at second and third base of late.

Moves back to big leagues The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Impact Reliever Tanner Banks was optioned to the minors to make room on the 26-man active roster for Sosa, who may serve as a utility man for the White Sox if manager Tony LaRussa isn't yet ready to pull the plug on second baseman Josh Harrison or third baseman Yoan Moncada as everyday players. LaRussa could soon be able to find room in the lineup for all three players on a short-term basis, as Sosa may be a candidate to pick up starts at shortstop if Tim Anderson's appeal of a three-game suspension isn't overturned in the near future. The 22-year-old Sosa, who was briefly up with the big club for a brief period in late June, seemingly has little left to prove in the minors after slashing .316/.367/.511 in 85 games between stops at Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham.

Rejoins Triple-A lineup Sosa (ankle) returned to Triple-A Charlotte's lineup over the weekend and went 1-for-10 with two walks across his three starts against Gwinnett.

Impact Sosa was sidelined for just under a week with a minor ankle issue that didn't result in his placement on the 7-day injured list. The 22-year-old received his first big-league call-up earlier this summer, but until the White Sox lose patience with the underwhelming veteran duo of Josh Harrison and Leury Garcia at second base, Sosa may not get an extended look as a starter in the majors in 2022.

Dealing with ankle issue Sosa has not played since July 2 due to ankle pain, but he's expected back shortly, Daniel Victor of White Sox Daily reports.

Impact He's supposed to be back with Triple-A Charlotte "in a few days." Sosa went 6-for-14 (.429) with two doubles in three games after being demoted to Charlotte following his four-game cup of coffee in the majors. It's likely we'll see him up with the big club again later this season, especially considering how little offense the White Sox are getting from Leury Garcia and Josh Harrison at second base.

Sent back to Charlotte The White Sox optioned Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Impact After getting his first big-league call-up last Thursday, Sosa started at second base in three of Chicago's subsequent five games and went 1-for-12 with a double, a walk and two runs. With Yoan Moncada (hamstring) making his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the White Sox won't have an everyday role available in the infield for the 22-year-old, who will head back to Charlotte to play on a regular basis.

Leads off in first start Sosa went 0-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout Saturday against Baltimore.

Impact Sosa drew his first big-league start playing at second base and leading off. He reached base on an error by Tyler Nevin in the third inning and subsequently came around to score the first big-league run of his career. Sosa won't occupy the leadoff spot regularly so long as Tim Anderson is healthy, though he could find regular playing time due to the extensive number of injuries currently plaguing the White Sox.

Makes big-league debut Sosa went 0-for-1 with a walk Thursday against the Orioles.

Impact Sosa entered in the sixth inning to make his major-league debut after Josh Harrison (elbow) exited the game. Sosa struck out on four pitches in his first at-bat, but he managed a nine-pitch walk in the following plate appearance. Prior to his promotion, Sosa hit .331/.384/.549 with 14 home runs across 289 plate appearances with Double-A Birmingham.
