White was returned to Triple-A Charlotte following the White Sox's doubleheader against St. Louis on Thursday.

White pitched 2.1 scoreless innings in the second game, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one. It was his second appearance in the majors this season, and he's likely to be back with the big-league club at some point this summer if injuries occur.

Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

Adell put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the second inning with an opposite-field blast off Carlos Rodon, his 15th homer this year. The 26-year-old Adell has now homered in back-to-back games after going 0-for-10 over the prior three contests. Overall, he's slashing .221/.293/.471 with 37 RBI, 25 runs scored and three steals across 230 plate appearances this year.

McCormick (oblique) is likely to face live pitching within the next week, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

McCormick has been on the injured list since May 31 and resumed swinging Friday. He's still a way away from being activated, however, as manager Joe Espada said McCormick will require a rehab assignment.

Garcia (elbow) is expected to throw a live batting practice session within the next week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Garcia has thrown at least three bullpen sessions since May 24, most recently throwing 25 pitches. Live batting practice will be a significant milestone in his recovery as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery.

Grisham went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a double and a second run scored in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Grisham put the Yankees ahead with his 14th homer of the season and first since May 30, a 408-foot blast off Tyler Anderson in the second inning. The 28-year-old Grisham had cooled off at the plate prior to Thursday's contest, going just 4-for-22 in his previous six games. Overall, he's batting .245 with an .823 OPS, 30 RBI and 35 runs scored across 245 plate appearances this year.

Paddack (3-6) picked up the win Thursday against the Reds, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Fresh off a nine-run, 12-hit start last week, Paddack failed to bounce back Thursday, yielding a trio of extra-base hits, including a two-run home run by Gavin Lux. It's been an uncharacteristic stretch of play for Paddack, who had allowed two or fewer runs in six consecutive starts before his past two outings. On the year, Paddack owns a 4.48 ERA and a 56:23 K:BB across 80.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Mariners in his next start.

Kjerstad exited Thursday's game with Triple-A Norfolk after fouling a ball off his right knee, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Thursday's game was Kjerstad's fourth game with Norfolk since being demoted by Baltimore. He had gone just 2-for-15 with five strikeouts prior to exiting Thursday's game. The severity of the injury is not known.

Buxton went 3-for-6 with two solo home runs and a double during Thursday's 12-5 win over the Reds.

Buxton notched his first multi-homer game of the campaign, taking Nick Martinez yard in the first and second innings. He's now homered in three consecutive games and is up to 15 long balls on the year. In his last nine games, Buxton has gone 12-for-28 (.429) with three doubles and five home runs.

Armstrong (2-2) took the loss against the Royals on Thursday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter in the first inning.

With Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) on the injured list, the Rangers turned to Armstrong and the rest of the bullpen to fill the gap in the rotation. Armstrong took to the mound to start Thursday's game, but he gave up a two-run homer to Vinnie Pasquantino and was tagged with the loss as the Rangers were unable to muster up enough offense. Armstrong could be in the opener mix again next week against the Orioles at Camden Yards if Eovaldi is not cleared to return from the IL.

Jeffers went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a two-RBI double during Thursday's 12-5 win over the Reds.

Jeffers missed Wednesday's contest with a bruised hand but re-entered the lineup Thursday and had a monster game, setting a season high in RBI. He launched a two-run homer in the eighth inning off Taylor Rogers, marking the catcher's fifth long ball of the season. Since the start of June, Jeffers has gone 11-for-43 (.256) with two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored.
