Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Baldwin has handled a near-everyday role for much of August, but he'll head to the bench for the second time in three games while the White Sox welcome Mike Tauchman (lower body) back to the lineup following a one-game absence. Over 17 games on the month, Baldwin is slashing .314/.375/.529 with three home runs, one steal, three RBI and six runs. Look for the White Sox to continue to find ways to keep the versatile 25-year-old's bat in the lineup over the final month of the season.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Stepping back into everyday role
Rotowire
Baldwin will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Mariners.
After being withheld from the lineup in four consecutive games last week, Baldwin appears to have moved back into a near-everyday role.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Hitting bench Monday
Rotowire
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Michael Taylor will pick up a start in the outfield in place of Baldwin, who had been included in the lineup in five of Chicago's previous six contests. Baldwin has maintained a lowly .615 OPS over 187 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he could nonetheless be in line for a near-everyday role over the final two months of the campaign while the 38-68 White Sox play out the string.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Getting third straight start
Rotowire
Baldwin will start in left field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.
The White Sox will keep Baldwin in the lineup for a third straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Taj Bradley), after he went 1-for-7 with a home run and three RBI in the first two contests of the series. For the season, the 24-year-old Baldwin is hitting just .222/.264/.364 over 178 plate appearances, but he may continue seeing plenty of starts over the final two months of the campaign while the non-contending White Sox prioritize playing time for their younger players down the stretch.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Cracks sixth homer
Rotowire
Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Rays.
The Chicago utility man drew his first start since being activated from a back injury July 19 and made the most of it. Baldwin opened the game's scoring with a 352-foot, three-run blast off Tampa Bay starter Shane Baz in the second. The 24-year-old is now slashing .226/.269/.371 with three steals, 23 RBI and 14 runs scored across 175 total plate appearances.

Rotowire
Baldwin was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Toronto due to lower-back tightness.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
Baldwin has slashed an ugly .211/.252/.323 during his time with the big club this season. He's posted better numbers in Triple-A and has been getting reps in center field, however, so he could help cover for the absence of Luis Robert (hamstring).

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
Baldwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Records first steal
Rotowire
Baldwin went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Red Sox.
Baldwin had gone 0-for-11 over his previous four games before logging his first multi-hit effort of the season. The steal was also his first of the season, while the RBI he earned on an eighth-inning single was the first run he's knocked in since April 4. The utility player is batting .237 (9-for-38) with a home run, six RBI and two runs scored over 12 contests. He's carving out a decent share of playing time despite not focusing on a single position, but playing for the White Sox will likely prevent him from racking up significant counting stats.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Heading to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Baldwin will begin Wednesday's game on the bench after he started in each of the last six games while playing four different positions (second base, shortstop, left field and right field). The White Sox haven't settled on a permanent spot for Baldwin, but the switch-hitting utility player should continue to hold down a near-everyday role.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: On bench for series opener
Rotowire
Baldwin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Baldwin had picked up starts in both of the White Sox's previous two matchups with right-handed pitchers, going 2-for-7 at the dish. Though he'll find himself out of the lineup in Monday's series opener versus Twins righty Chris Paddack, Baldwin's standing as a switch hitter who's capable of playing multiple spots in the infield and outfield should allow him to continue seeing at least semi-regular playing time.
