Remains on bench Collins will sit for the second straight game in the first half of Monday's doubleheader against Minnesota.
Impact The consecutive games on the bench likely don't represent a significant downturn in playing time for Collins, as he was never expected to start twice in one day. Seby Zavala will be behind the plate for the afternoon game, but Collins should return to the lineup for the nightcap.

Takes seat Sunday Collins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Kicks off scoring Collins went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Astros.
Impact Not only did Collins guide ace Lucas Giolito through a complete-game gem, he opened the scoring for the White Sox with the first of back-to-back home runs in the third inning. Tim Anderson followed him with what turned out to be the game-winning hit. With Yasmani Grandal (knee) at least another two weeks away, Collins is expected to be the primary backstop during that time.

Knocks in two Collins went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Minnesota.
Impact Collins becomes a more significant piece to the White Sox after it was learned that Yasmani Grandal will miss four to six weeks with a torn tendon in his left knee. Collins has struggled at the dish in the majors, including the start of 2021, but he's slowly building respectable numbers. Since June 1, Collins is slashing .314/.386/.471 and upped his season average to .236.

Cranks third homer Collins went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base and a walk Thursday against the Twins.
Impact Collins took Jorge Alcala yard in the sixth inning to record his third home run of the season. He also chipped in the first stolen base of his career -- something that should not be counted on to continue moving forward. While Collins is typically buried on the depth chart, he should see some chance for increased opportunities given the number of injuries the White Sox have suffered and the continued dip in playing time for Yermin Mercedes.
