The White Sox optioned Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
When he was called up from Charlotte on April 6, Sosa looked on track to fill in as the White Sox's everyday third baseman in place of the injured Yoan Moncada (adductor), but the 24-year-old stuck around with the big club for just over two weeks. The writing was likely on the wall for Sosa's demotion after he had started in just two of Chicago's last five games. The White Sox selected infielder Danny Mendick's contract from Charlotte on Monday, and he appears to be the next man up to fill in at third base until Moncada returns.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Sitting for first game of twin bill
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Sosa will likely start in the second game of the twin bill, but he'll give way to Braden Shewmake at third base in the opening contest of the day. Since Yoan Moncada (adductor) was placed on the injured list earlier this month, Sosa has settled in as Chicago's primary option at the hot corner. He had started each of the White Sox's last six games, going 3-for-23 with a pair of doubles, a walk, an RBI and two runs.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Steps in for injured Moncada
Rotowire
Sosa will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Sosa went 1-for-5 with an RBI double and a run scored while starting at second base in Tuesday's 7-5 win, but he looks as though he could be in store for an everyday role at the hot corner moving forward. The White Sox placed Yoan Moncada on the 10-day injured list with a left adductor strain that's expected to keep him sidelined for 3-to-6 months, and Sosa will get the first chance to replace him in the lineup.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: One hit in 2024 debut
Rotowire
Sosa went 1-for-3 Saturday against the Royals.
Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and was immediately penciled in at second base while hitting seventh. He accounted for one of only three hits by the White Sox, though he's likely to serve primarily as a backup across most of the infield positions. Even if Sosa does find more consistent playing time, he's managed only a .186 average across his first 209 big-league plate appearances.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Promotion incoming
Rotowire
Sosa is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
With Eloy Jimenez (thigh) and Luis Robert (hip) both dealing with injuries, adding Sosa will give the White Sox extra depth. The 24-year-old infielder has slashed just .186/.209/.327 across 209 plate appearances in his MLB career, but he's had a hot start through five games at Charlotte, going 8-for-24 with two doubles and a homer. Sosa's bat may be useful for a White Sox offense that is suddenly without its star contributors.

Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Sosa entered camp seemingly with a shot at winning one of the middle-infield spots for the White Sox, but he's being sent out even after going 4-for-13 with one home run in seven Cactus League contests. The White Sox look set to open the season with Paul DeJong and Nicky Lopez as their primary options up the middle.

Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Sosa is on the bench for the fifth time in seven games and appears to have lost his grip on the everyday role at second base, with veteran Elvis Andrus re-emerging as the top option at the position. Since the beginning of September, Sosa has mustered a lowly .446 OPS in nine games.

Sosa is absent from the lineup Friday versus the Twins.
Sosa has recently been sharing starts at second base with Elvis Andrus, who will cover the position and bat eighth Friday against the Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober.

Sosa has been the White Sox's primary option at second base over the past couple weeks, and he's likely to remain in that role since he has an .820 OPS in his last 15 games. However, it'll be Elvis Andrus that starts at the keystone Tuesday versus Kansas City righty Brady Singer.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Gets Sunday off
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Elvis Andrus will get the start the keystone in the series finale while Sosa sits for the first time since Aug. 24. Sosa has slashed .260/.260/.500 with four home runs and nine RBI in 15 games during his latest stint with the White Sox and should be locked into a near-everyday role down the stretch while the non-contending club plays out the string in a losing season.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Socks fifth homer
Rotowire
Sosa went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Orioles.
The second baseman went yard for the third time in the last five games and the fifth time this season, getting the White Sox on the board in the third inning by driving a Dean Kremer sinker over the fence in right-center. Sosa has seized control of the starting job at the keystone by batting .333 (12-for-36) over the last 11 games with four long balls and nine RBI, but his 0:9 BB:K during that hot streak suggests that while his power is legitimate, he could still be a batting average and OBP risk down the stretch.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Belts another homer
Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's victory over the Athletics.
Sosa was one of three White Sox players to hit a home run Saturday, tagging JP Sears for a long ball in the second inning. After logging one homer in his first 24 games, Sosa has launched three long balls in the last six days. During that stretch, Sosa is 6-for-22 (.272) and has been handling most of the work at second base.
