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.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Heads to bench Friday

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 is sitting on a four-game hitting streak, but he owns a rough .196/.200/.341 overall season slash line in 143 major-league plate appearances.

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: Delivers three-run homer
Rotowire
Sosa went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Rockies.
Sosa didn't start the contest, but he entered as the replacement when Elvis Andrus was ejected for yelling from the dugout. The blast was Sosa's second of the campaign, and he's gone 3-for-9 with five RBI over three games since he was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. The infielder is at a middling .156/.167/.273 slash line with eight RBI and five runs scored over 79 plate appearances. His time as a regular in the lineup may come to a close when Tim Anderson's suspension ends Wednesday.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Drives in two
Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Rockies.
Sosa has drawn consecutive starts at second base in the absence of Tim Anderson (suspension), while Elvis Andrus has shifted to shortstop. Sosa has gotten bits of major-league experience in the last two seasons but has struggled significantly in both stints. His effort Saturday was encouraging -- it was his third multi-hit performance in 35 career games -- though it did come at Coors Field. Once Anderson is reinstated, Sosa is likely to lose playing time and potentially his roster spot.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Recalled from Charlotte
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
The 23-year-old will likely get a few starts in Chicago's infield while Tim Anderson serves his five-game suspension for an on-field fight with Jose Ramirez earlier this month. Sosa holds a career .126 batting average and .366 OPS in 33 games (106 plate appearances) at the major-league level but a more palatable .271/.313/.507 slash line at Charlotte this season with 17 homers in 71 games.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Getting call Friday
Rotowire
Sosa is expected to be called up to the White Sox on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The 23-year-old can help fill in at shortstop while Tim Anderson serves his five-game suspension for brawling with Jose Ramirez earlier this month. Sosa has flashed good power in the minors but holds a career .126/.143/.223 batting line in 106 major-league plate appearances.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Sosa was optioned Friday to Triple-A Charlotte.
Sosa gets the boot to clear out a 26-man roster spot for Yoan Moncada, who has been activated following a four-week absence with a lower-back injury. Sosa, 23, is slashing just .132/.145/.221 in 70 plate appearances this season at the major-league level.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Making fifth straight start
Rotowire
Sosa is starting at second base and batting eighth for the White Sox in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.
It's the fifth straight start for Sosa, who is 3-for-16 with a home run in his previous four contests. The 23-year-old is one of the White Sox' better prospects and is worth using in deeper fantasy leagues while he's playing regularly, although that might only be the case while Tim Anderson (knee) is out.

Rotowire
Sosa was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Sosa has crushed the ball for Charlotte in the early going this season, sporting a .448/.556/.828 batting line with a couple home runs. The 23-year-old is a candidate to see starts at second base with the big club while Elvis Andrus plays shortstop with Tim Anderson (knee) out.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Sent down Friday
Rotowire
Sosa was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Sosa lost out on consistent playing time recently and will head to the minors after hitting just .114 with a home run, a double, three runs and an RBI over 11 games in the majors. Elvis Andrus was signed by the White Sox on Friday and should serve as the primary shortstop while Tim Anderson (hand) and Leury Garcia (back) are on the injured list.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: On bench in second straight game
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.
Even with Leury Garcia (back) joining Tim Anderson (hand) on the injured list Wednesday, Sosa won't necessarily be handed the keys to the everyday shortstop role. In fact, Sosa will find himself on the bench Thursday for the second day in a row, as fellow rookie Romy Gonzalez draws another start at shortstop after going 1-for-4 with a double in his 2022 MLB debut. Since joining the White Sox on Aug. 7, Sosa has gone 3-for-22 (.136 average) with a solo home run in six games.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Slugs first career homer
Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals.
Sosa drew his first start since being recalled Sunday and he delivered his first career home run. He has a very limited major-league sample but has maintained an .878 OPS across 387 plate appearances between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte this season. However, Sosa may struggle to find regular at-bats with the White Sox, as Josh Harrison and Yoan Moncada have been locked into the lineup at second and third base of late.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Dealing with ankle issue
Rotowire
Sosa has not played since July 2 due to ankle pain, but he's expected back shortly, Daniel Victor of White Sox Daily reports.
He's supposed to be back with Triple-A Charlotte "in a few days." Sosa went 6-for-14 (.429) with two doubles in three games after being demoted to Charlotte following his four-game cup of coffee in the majors. It's likely we'll see him up with the big club again later this season, especially considering how little offense the White Sox are getting from Leury Garcia and Josh Harrison at second base.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Sent back to Charlotte
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
After getting his first big-league call-up last Thursday, Sosa started at second base in three of Chicago's subsequent five games and went 1-for-12 with a double, a walk and two runs. With Yoan Moncada (hamstring) making his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the White Sox won't have an everyday role available in the infield for the 22-year-old, who will head back to Charlotte to play on a regular basis.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Leads off in first start
Rotowire
Sosa went 0-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout Saturday against Baltimore.
Sosa drew his first big-league start playing at second base and leading off. He reached base on an error by Tyler Nevin in the third inning and subsequently came around to score the first big-league run of his career. Sosa won't occupy the leadoff spot regularly so long as Tim Anderson is healthy, though he could find regular playing time due to the extensive number of injuries currently plaguing the White Sox.
