Overview

  • Andrew Benintendi and Mike Tauchman were activated from the 10-day injured list and returned to the White Sox lineup for their series opener against the Texas Rangers.
  • Andrew Vaughn, hitting just .189 over 48 games this season, was sent to Triple-A Charlotte for the first time since his MLB debut in 2021.
  • Rookie Tim Elko, despite a strong .348 batting average and 10 home runs in Triple-A, was also optioned after hitting .161 with three home runs in his first 10 MLB games.
  • The moves aim to balance lineup stability with long-term player development as the White Sox navigate a challenging season marked by offensive inconsistency.
  • Both Benintendi and Tauchman are expected to bring veteran experience and production to the team, with Tauchman returning after a strong but brief showing earlier this season.
