Departs with knee injury Elko was removed from the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians due to right knee soreness.

Impact Elko started at first base and struck out in his lone plate appearance prior to exiting the contest. It's unclear if the 26-year-old will be available for Friday's nightcap, and he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Back in big leagues The White Sox recalled Elko from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Sent down to minors The White Sox optioned Elko to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Impact Elko had been working as Chicago's primary first baseman prior to the demotion and slugged four homers with eight RBI and a stolen base over 18 games, though he posted a mediocre .601 OPS and 38.1 percent strikeout rate. His spot on the 26-man roster has been taken by Ryan Noda, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move and who could take over as Chicago's top option at first base.

Last Night in Baseball: Giants’ Matt Chapman hits walk-off two-run HR

Slugs homer Saturday Elko went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a double Saturday in a 4-1 win against Kansas City.

Impact Elko belted a two-run shot in the second inning to put Chicago in the lead for good. The 26-year-old appears to be settling into a full-time role at first base -- since his promotion from Triple-A on June 4, Elko has made four straight starts at the position, going 3-for-15 with three RBI. Meanwhile, Miguel Vargas, who had been playing first base regularly, has been slotting in at third while Josh Rojas has mostly moved to second base in the wake of Lenyn Sosa's placement on the IL due to a hip injury.

Two straight starts since promotion Elko went 1-for-5 with an RBI on Thursday against the Tigers.

Impact Elko has started at first base and hit sixth in each game since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He has one hit in each contest and provided the game-winning knock in the 10th inning Thursday, though that was also paired with three strikeouts. Elko has a regular spot in the order for the time being, but that could change with the impending promotion of Kyle Teel.
