Austin Slater Activated and Starting on Monday
The Chicago White Sox announced on Monday that they reinstated outfielder Austin Slater (knee) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder/outfielder Brooks Baldwin to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Slater will make the start in left field and will hit seventh right away in Monday's series opener against the visiting Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo. The 32-year-old veteran could play regularly in Chicago's outfield with both Andrew Benintendi (calf) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) still on the IL, but eventually, he could be on the short side of a platoon in left field against left-handed pitching. Slater had played in only eight games this year before needing surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his right knee and had gone 5-for-20 with a homer and two doubles. He's worth a waiver-wire pickup in AL-only formats.
