Sosa went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Rockies.
Sosa singled in the third inning, hit a two-run home run in the fifth and then walked and scored in the eighth. Since June 18, Sosa was in a 2-for-33 slump but broke out of it in a big way Friday. On the season, the 24-year-old is now hitting .218 with three homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored over 132 plate appearances.

Rotowire
Sosa went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Saturday's win over Arizona.
Sosa singled in his third trip to the plate and was later thrown out at home on a fielder's choice.

It marked the third baseman's first three-hit performance of the season and his fifth multi-hit effort this month, during which he's batting .333 with two homers and seven RBI.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Hitting well with regular run
Rotowire
Sosa went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a stolen base Sunday against the Red Sox.
Sosa has started eight straight games at third base since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte and has at least one hit in six of those contests. He's hit .385 overall with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. While Sosa has primarily hit in the bottom third of the order, he should remain locked into regular playing time and could move up in the lineup if he remains productive.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Slugs first homer of campaign
Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs.
Sosa was able to check off his first multi-hit game and his first homer of the season in the same contest. He's gone 4-for-10 with a walk and two strikeouts over four games since he was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Sosa is slashing .188/.235/.292 with three RBI, three runs scored and two doubles over 52 plate appearances in the majors this season. He's started three straight games at third base and will likely need to outplay only Danny Mendick to stick at the hot corner in the near term.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
It's the corresponding move for the demotion of Bryan Ramos, who was optioned Thursday. Sosa has struggled mightily during his time in the majors over the last three seasons, slashing just .177/.200/.304 in 75 games. Theoretically, there is playing time available on the White Sox infield, but there's no indication that Sosa will see much of it.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Sent to minors
Rotowire
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.

Sosa will be optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Sosa has struggled to a .132 average with 13 strikeouts over 38 at-bats in 12 contests with the White Sox this season and he'll now get a chance to reset with the Triple-A squad. Danny Mendick is expected to have his contract selected from Charlotte and join Chicago's major-league roster Monday.

Rotowire
Sosa isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

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.

Sosa was officially called up after the White Sox moved Luis Robert (hip) to the 10-day injured list. Sosa had a good start with Charlotte, going 8-for-24 with one home run, three RBI and five walks. He will draw the start at second base and bat seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

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.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Sent to minor-league camp
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.

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.

Rotowire
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.
