White Sox's Austin Hays: Taking live BP
Manager Will Venable said Saturday that Hays (calf) has resumed taking live batting practice and could begin running the bases next week, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
Hays landed on the injured list Monday with a strained left calf, and running the bases will likely be one of the final hurdles he has to clear before returning to game action. It remains unclear whether the White Sox will send him out on a rehab assignment before activating him, but an updated timeline for his return may come out after he begins running.

White Sox's Austin Hays: Lands on IL with calf strain
The White Sox placed Hays on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Saturday, due to a left calf strain.
Hays appeared in just four games for the White Sox following a three-week stint on the IL due to a right hamstring strain, and the 30-year-old outfielder is dealing with yet another lower-body injury. The severity of Hays' calf strain is not yet clear, but a recovery timeline should be provided by the White Sox once he undergoes further tests. To bolster their depth in the outfield, the White Sox signed Randal Grichuk to a one-year contract Monday, and the latter could see some reps in the outfield due to the absences of Hays and Everson Pereira (pectoral).

White Sox's Austin Hays: On bench again Sunday
Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Hays has started just twice in the White Sox's ensuing six games. Even with Everson Pereira (pectoral) landing on the IL on Wednesday, Hays looks like he may be limited to a part-time role in the Chicago outfield while he's struggled to a .233/.250/.326 slash line through 44 plate appearances on the season.

White Sox's Austin Hays: First hits since return
Hays went 2-for-5 on Wednesday against the Angels.
Hays returned from the injured list Monday, though Wednesday marked his first start. He notched a pair of singles to record his first multi-hit game of the campaign. While he has been used primarily as a reserve option this season, Hays should see an uptick in playing time due to Everson Pereira (pectoral) now being sidelined.

White Sox's Austin Hays: Reinstated from injured list
The White Sox activated Hays (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Hays wound up missing three weeks of action with a right hamstring strain. The veteran outfielder was serving as the team's primary left fielder before getting hurt, but with Sam Antonacci getting an opportunity at that position, Hays could shift over to right field, which would eat into the playing time of Everson Pereira. The White Sox will keep the hot-hotting Pereira in the lineup over Hays for Monday's series opener versus the Angels, who will send right-hander Jack Kochanowicz to the bump.

White Sox's Austin Hays: Set to begin rehab assignment
Hays (hamstring) will embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Hays has been cleared to take the next step in his recovery from a Grade 1 right hamstring strain that caused him to land on the 10-day injured list April 7. He'll head to Triple-A to get some in-game reps and is inching closer to returning to the majors, barring a setback.

White Sox's Austin Hays: Heads to 10-day injured list
The White Sox placed Hays (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Hays suffered a right hamstring strain while playing the outfield during Monday's 2-1 win over the Orioles. Manager Will Venable said Tuesday that Hays' injury is considered a Grade 1 strain and will sideline the outfielder 2-to-4 weeks, per Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com. Andrew Benintendi could see more action in left field while Hays is out, and Derek Hill, Tanner Murray and Dustin Harris are also options at the position for the White Sox.

White Sox's Austin Hays: Headed for IL
Hays is expected to require a trip to the 10-day injured list after being diagnosed with a right hamstring strain, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Hays picked up the hamstring injury while playing the field Monday night against Baltimore, and he appears headed for the shelf after further evaluation. An official move will likely be made Tuesday, which could include calling up outfield help.

White Sox's Austin Hays: Departs early Monday
Hays was lifted from Monday's game against the Orioles due to a right hamstring strain.
Hays pulled up early on an attempt to chase down a ball hit down the line in the top of the fourth inning, and he was forced to exit immediately after the play. The White Sox are calling the injury a right hamstring strain, and he'll be sent for further evaluation to determine if a trip to the injured list is warranted.

Hays went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Monday against the Marlins.
Hays provided the key blow in a four-run third inning for the White Sox, popping his first home run of the season. While that was a positive, Hays struck out in all four of his other at-bats and now has eight strikeouts across only 15 plate appearances to begin the campaign. Despite those struggles, he's started three of four games in left field while hitting fifth in the order twice and third on Monday.

The 31-year-old signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the White Sox in January and has put his best foot forward during spring training.
