May 6: RHP Mike Clevinger recalled from Triple-A Charlotte; RHP Dominic Leone placed on 15-day injured list
Clevinger was called up to make his season debut against the Rays. He allowed three runs on 10 hits with seven strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings over two starts with Charlotte this season.

Leone was put on the injured list with lower back tightness. He is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA, three holds and 14 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings over 17 relief appearances with the White Sox this season.

May 4: INF Danny Mendick placed on 10-day injured list with lower back tightness; INF Bryan Ramos recalled from Double-A Birmingham
Mendick was scratched from Friday's starting lineup and placed on the injured list to err on the side of caution, with the move made retroactive to May 2. Ramos, Chicago's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, did not start on Saturday but will play frequently in Mendick's absence, according to manager Pedro Grifol.

"He’s here to play," Grifol said. "It’s a good opportunity for him to experience this, and a good opportunity for us to evaluate where he is in his development."

OF Luis Robert Jr. (right hip flexor strain)
Expected return: Mid-May
On April 26, general manager Chris Getz said Robert's return is "not too far off" and "a couple weeks away." Getz expressed hope that the center fielder, who is in Arizona going through his rehab, could rejoin the White Sox in mid-May.

"He’s doing really well," Getz said. "He’s out in Arizona. He’s running, he’s hitting, he’s moving around well, so it’s been really positive.”

"I'm not feeling as bad as I was feeling in 2021," Robert, who suffered a similar but more severe injury in May of 2021, said through interpreter Billy Russo after landing on the IL. "It's hard. Last night I couldn't sleep just thinking about that. Out of the whole thing, that's the hardest part." (Last updated: April 26)

60-DAY INJURED LIST

C Max Stassi (left hip inflammation)
Expected return: TBD
Stassi, who was transferred to the 60-day IL on April 15, suffered a setback during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte when he was hit in the hand on a hitter's backswing. So, Stassi will need to recover from that, along with his left hip inflammation.

"It's not significant in regards to a fracture, but it slowed it down a little bit," general manager Chris Getz said. "We want to get him to the point where he can catch back-to-back games and his body's recovering before we bring him back.” (Last update: April 15)

3B Yoán Moncada (left adductor strain)
Expected return: Shortly after the All-Star break
While running to first on a ground ball in the top of the second inning on April 9, Moncada doubled over in pain and had to be helped off the field. A day later, he was placed on the injured list with a left adductor strain.

The estimated original recovery time for Moncada was 3-6 months, the team announced on April 10, but general manager Chris Getz gave a more optimistic return update on April 12. Moncada has hit .282 with three doubles and a triple in 11 games. (Last updated: April 12)

"I was really excited to watch him pitch," Grifol said. "We are excited to be able to identify that, and then to have it be something that we can get through and start that program right at the end of spring." (Last updated: March 28)
