Returning to majors Colas will be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte prior to the White Sox' game Tuesday versus the Blue Jays, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.

Impact Colas was sent down by the White Sox in late April after he batted just .211/.265/.276 in his first 25 games. However, he's been on fire of late with Charlotte, collecting a 1.253 OPS with seven home runs over his last 10 contests to earn another shot in the big leagues. Colas should play regularly in right field at least against right-handed pitching.

On fire at Triple-A Colas is hitting .435 with four home runs and four strikeouts in his last six games for Triple-A Charlotte.

Impact Colas is hitting .297 with six home runs and a 21.2 percent strikeout rate in 44 games since getting optioned to Triple-A on May 2. Gavin Sheets and Clint Frazier have been platooning in right field for the White Sox, and both of them have been below league average as hitters, so it would seem that Colas could be nearing a return to the big leagues.

Optioned to Triple-A Colas was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Tuesday.

Impact The writing had seemed to be on the wall for Colas, as he hadn't been playing much lately amidst a deep slump which saw him post just a .332 OPS over his last 14 games. Colas remains plenty talented and should get another shot later this season, but for now he'll try to get back on track at Charlotte.

On bench again Colas is absent from the White Sox' lineup for Friday's game versus the Rays.

Impact It's the fifth time in the last seven games that Colas has been on the bench, and this is the third time over that stretch he's not started against a right-hander. The rookie outfielder has just four hits over his last 32 at-bats to drop his season OPS to .578. It's possible he could be facing a demotion soon.

Sits again Wednesday Colas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Colas finds himself out of the lineup for the fourth time in five games, with two absences coming against right-handers and two coming against left-handers. At this point, Colas looks to have moved into a reserve role after posting a .567 OPS through his first 71 plate appearances of the season, perhaps setting the stage for a demotion to Triple-A Charlotte to so he can play regularly and regain some confidence at the dish. Gavin Sheets and Romy Gonzalez could end up forming a platoon in right field moving forward.

Benched again Tuesday Colas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact On the bench for the third time in four games, Colas looks to be at risk of losing his regular role in the outfield, or possibly even a demotion to Triple-A Charlotte. After earning his way onto the Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, Colas has made little impact through his first 21 games in the big leagues. He enters Tuesday hitting just .219 with two extra-base hits (one home run, one double) and two stolen bases over 71 plate appearances.

Sitting again Sunday Colas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact Colas is 3-for-24 with eight strikeouts over his past nine contests and finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive game. Most of the 24-year-old's lineup absences this season have come against left-handed starters, but righty Zach Eflin is pitching Sunday for Tampa Bay. Gavin Sheets is starting in right field and batting fifth in the series finale.

Heads to bench Colas will sit Saturday against the Rays.

Impact Colas hits the bench against lefty Shane McClanahan, meaning he's now sat against four of the five lefties the White Sox have faced this season. He isn't making much of a case to move from a platoon role to an everyday job, as he's hit just .233/.303/.300 through his first 19 MLB games.

Ending skid Colas went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Rays.

Impact Colas drove in a run with an infield single in the second frame and also came around to score. After a brief stretch of production to begin the season, he has gone only 9-for-46 across his last 15 games while striking out at a 25 percent clip. However, he's shown recent signs of turning things around across his last two contests, as he's reached base three times in seven plate appearances. The White Sox appear willing to give Colas the chance to work through any struggles, as he's maintained consistent playing time despite maintaining only a .233/.303/.300 line across 67 plate appearances on the campaign.

Taking Wednesday off Colas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact After seeing his four-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout performance in Tuesday's 4-3 loss, Colas will receive a breather for the series finale. Gavin Sheets will man right field in Colas' stead.

Productive in big win Colas went 2-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.

Impact Chicago used a balanced offense to put constant pressure on Pittsburgh pitching, as six different hitters collected two hits each and seven different players combined for multiple runs plus RBI. Colas has had a strong start to his MLB career, batting .300 (9-for-30) through his first nine games with a homer, four RBI, five runs and two steals.

Slugs first career homer Colas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Pirates.

Impact Colas took Wil Crowe yard in the top of the ninth inning for the first homer of his career. He's served in a large-side platoon role in right field to begin the season, splitting time with Romy Gonzalez. Through 27 plate appearances on the campaign, Colas has collected seven hits, four runs scored and driven in two while striking out only five times.

Sitting again versus lefty Colas is absent from the White Sox' lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Impact Colas might not be in a strict platoon with Romy Gonzalez, but he has been on the bench both times his team has faced a lefty in the early going. For what it's worth, Colas batted .362/.417/.533 against southpaws in the minors last season.
