Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Sosa started the previous 20 games but will receive Sunday off after going 2-for-12 with two RBI and five strikeouts in the past three contests. Miguel Vargas will shift to first base, opening up the hot corner for Curtis Mead.
Sosa went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 13-9 win over Atlanta.
Sosa tied a season high in RBI and also launched his 17th long ball of the season. While he has just 14 walks across 108 games, Sosa remains one of the lone bright spots for the last-place White Sox this year. The 25-year-old infielder is hitting a healthy .274 with 16 doubles, 54 RBI and 42 runs scored through 391 at-bats.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Pops 15th home run
Rotowire
Sosa went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Royals.
Sosa went deep in his first at-bat of the game to tally his 15th home run of the season. That continued his power tear in August, as Sosa now has six home runs, nine RBI and nine runs scored across 15 games played. Sosa has recently flipped from playing second base to first base, but he should be in for regular at-bats down the stretch unless the White Sox decide to give Curtis Mead additional playing time.
Sosa went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and three RBI on Sunday against the Guardians.
Sosa kicked off the scoring with a two-run home run in the first inning, his 14th of the season. That continued a prolific power surge, as Sosa now has five homers in his last 11 starts. He's also managed to go 13-for-39 with 10 RBI and nine runs scored in that span.

The long ball extended Sosa's hitting streak to eight games, during which he has gone 13-for-28 (.464) with three homers and seven RBI.

For the season, Sosa is batting .281 with a .747 OPS, 12 homers, 44 RBI, 36 runs scored and two stolen bases across 96 contests.

Sosa went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs in Saturday's 10-3 win against the Rockies.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: On bench for Game 1
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.
Sosa had been scheduled to sit out Wednesday's game against right-hander Sonny Gray before the contest was postponed due to inclement weather. The two teams are making up the postponed game with a doubleheader Thursday, and Sosa will still find himself on the bench for the first contest of the day while St. Louis sends righty Erick Fedde to the bump. Sosa had been a near-everyday player for the White Sox prior to landing on the injured list June 4 with a hip flexor strain, and despite being activated earlier this week, he might have to settle for more of a part-time role in the Chicago infield.
