White Sox's Tim Elko: Returned from IL, optioned
Elko (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.
Elko will shift to Triple-A following his return to health. He'd been on the shelf since July 11 after suffering a right knee sprain and was struggling through an 0-for-16 stretch at the plate prior to going down with the injury.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Kicks off rehab assignment
Elko (knee) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday and has gone 3-for-8 with two home runs, one walk, four RBI and three runs through his first two games.
The White Sox placed Elko on the 10-day injured list July 11 due to a right knee sprain, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return. Aside from moving short-side platoon outfielder Austin Slater, the White Sox didn't deal away any position players at the trade deadline, so Elko may not be in store for an everyday role at first base or designated hitter once he's activated.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Placed on injured list
The White Sox placed Elko on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right knee sprain.
Elko suffered the injury during the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus Cleveland, and he'll now officially remain out until at least shortly after the All-Star break. Will Robertson will come up from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the open spot on Chicago's bench.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Departs with knee injury
Elko was removed from the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians due to right knee soreness.
Elko started at first base and struck out in his lone plate appearance prior to exiting the contest. It's unclear if the 26-year-old will be available for Friday's nightcap, and he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Back in big leagues
The White Sox recalled Elko from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He'll start at first base and bat seventh in the White Sox's series finale versus the Blue Jays.
Elko has struggled during his big-league chances thus far, putting up a .601 OPS and 38.1 percent strikeout rate over 63 plate appearances. The right-handed-hitting Elko could be a regular part of the White Sox lineup against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to start versus righties could be more limited.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Sent down to minors
The White Sox optioned Elko to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
Elko had been working as Chicago's primary first baseman prior to the demotion and slugged four homers with eight RBI and a stolen base over 18 games, though he posted a mediocre .601 OPS and 38.1 percent strikeout rate. His spot on the 26-man roster has been taken by Ryan Noda, who was called up from Charlotte in a corresponding move and could take over as Chicago's top option at first base.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Resting Friday
Elko is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.
Elko started in each of the White Sox's eight games after being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on June 4. He'll get a well-earned day off Friday as Miguel Vargas handles first-base duties.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Slugs homer Saturday
Elko went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a double Saturday in a 4-1 win against Kansas City.
Elko belted a two-run shot in the second inning to put Chicago in the lead for good. The 26-year-old appears to be settling into a full-time role at first base -- since his promotion from Triple-A on June 4, Elko has made four straight starts at the position, going 3-for-15 with three RBI. Meanwhile, Miguel Vargas, who had been playing first base regularly, has been slotting in at third while Josh Rojas has mostly moved to second base in the wake of Lenyn Sosa's placement on the IL due to a hip injury.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Two straight starts since promotion
Elko went 1-for-5 with an RBI on Thursday against the Tigers.
Elko has started at first base and hit sixth in two straight games since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He has one hit in each contest and provided the game-winning knock in the 10th inning Thursday, though that was also paired with three strikeouts. However, Elko's playing time figured to be impacted by the impending promotion of top prospect Kyle Teel.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Rejoins major-league club
The White Sox recalled Elko from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Elko went just 5-for-31 at the plate during his first stint in the majors, although three of those hits were home runs. The 26-year-old has mashed at Charlotte this season (.984 OPS, 11 home runs) and could receive fairly regular playing time between first base and/or designated hitter after the White Sox placed Lenyn Sosa (hip) on the injured list in a corresponding transaction.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Back to Triple-A
The White Sox optioned Elko to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Elko is headed back to the minors after the White Sox activated both Andrew Benintendi (calf) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) from the 10-day IL on Friday. Elko flashed some pop in his first 32 big-league plate appearances, swatting three home runs, but he slashed just .161/.188/.452 with five RBI, four runs scored and a 1:10 BB:K across 10 contests.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Hitting for power
Elko went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and and additional run scored Thursday against the Mariners.
Immediately after being called up, Elko sat against most right-handed pitching. However, he's now started five straight games, four of which came against righties. Elko has an ugly 10:1 K:BB across 32 plate appearances, though he has mashed three home runs.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Tallies second homer
Elko went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday against the Cubs.
Elko sat the last two games with a righty on the mound, but he returned Saturday against left-hander Matthew Boyd. He appears to be settling into a small-side platoon role, though the situation is likely to remain fluid. Elko is now 3-for-17 with a pair of homers and four RBI in his first six MLB contests.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Receiving first day off
Elko is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.
After getting his first big-league call-up Saturday, Elko had started at first base or designated hitter in each of the White Sox's ensuing four games, going 2-for-14 with a home run and three RBI. The White Sox will likely continue to carve out at least a semi-regular role for Elko in the short term, though he'll still be subject to occasional days off versus right-handed pitching.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Knocks first career homer
Elko went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win against the Marlins.
Elko went 0-for-3 in his MLB debut Saturday before picking up his first career hit Sunday. His three-run shot off Sandy Alcantara in the sixth inning proved to be the game-winner. Elko served as the designated hitter Sunday after playing first base in his debut. With Andrew Vaughn continuing to struggle (.554 OPS through 160 plate appearances), Elko should continue seeing regular playing time.

White Sox's Tim Elko: Promotion made official
The White Sox selected Elko's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
Elko was a 10th-round pick for the White Sox in 2022 and has progressed consistently through the team's system. He's maintained a .339/.423/.661 line across 130 plate appearances with Charlotte this season, earning him his first shot in the majors. Elko will man first base and hit eighth in his debut Saturday against Miami, per Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.
