Fantasy Impact: Jimenez is back after being activated from the injured list by the White Sox Monday, occupying the designated hitter spot and batting third against the Royals Tuesday.

Nick Nastrini allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a decent performance that showcased his ability to manage hits and maintain a solid strikeout rate, Nastrini's efforts were not supported by his team's offense, leading to his first loss of the season.

Fantasy Impact: The move was needed for the team to select the contract of Monday’s start, Nick Nastrini. Stassi will now not be eligible to return until late May.

Michael Soroka allowed five runs on five hits over 4 2/3 innings Sunday against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: The biggest knock on the outing for Soroka was walking six hitters. He now has a 6.98 ERA so far this season.

Fantasy Impact: The timetable includes a minor league rehab assignment as well. The White Sox will continue to monitor his status and hope that he can avoid any setbacks.

Fantasy Impact: Moncada’s move was procedural, as the team needed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. The third baseman is expected to be sidelined 3-to-6 months.

Fantasy Impact: Colas was recalled for just one game before being sent back down. The White Sox will likely recall another position player on Friday.

Erick Fedde's outing against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday left fantasy managers scratching their heads.

Fantasy Impact: Tossing 93 pitches over five innings, Fedde allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks, while only managing to strike out three batters. The White Sox's narrow 7-6 loss to the Guardians didn't do much to salvage Fedde's day, nor did it inspire confidence in fantasy managers banking on a turnaround. With a season ERA now bloated to 4.30 and a WHIP that's climbed to an unsettling 1.43, the numbers aren't exactly screaming "roster me."

In a valiant effort that ultimately couldn't carry the Chicago White Sox to victory over the Cleveland Guardians, Gavin Sheets turned in a performance that fantasy managers should take note of.

Fantasy Impact: Sheets went 3-for-5 with 5 RBI, showcasing his power with 2 doubles and a home run, while also crossing the plate twice and even swiping a base for good measure. Despite the team's loss, Sheets's individual performance was a bright spot, especially for fantasy managers who have been tracking his promising start to the season. Now boasting a .333 batting average with 2 home runs, 7 RBI, and an impressive .480 wOBA through 10 games, Sheets is making a strong case for increased fantasy relevance.

Despite a solid performance where he fanned five over 2.1 innings, Tanner Banks couldn't steer the Chicago White Sox clear of a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Guardians.

Fantasy Impact: Banks, who threw 43 pitches and allowed just two hits and one earned run, continues to showcase his strikeout capabilities, maintaining an impressive 16.6 K/9 rate that fantasy managers have come to covet. His ERA slightly ticked up to 2.08, but with a WHIP standing strong at 0.92, Banks is emerging as an asset in leagues that reward pitching efficiency and strikeouts. As the season progresses, if he maintains these metrics, don't be surprised to see him climb the ranks in fantasy relevance.

Fantasy Impact: Lee didn't start Sunday's series finale with the Royals but went 0-for-1 in a pinch-hitting appearance in his team's 5-3 loss. Lee is 3-for-9 with a homer on the young season.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran started Sunday's series finale against the Royals before being replaced by Korey Lee after going 1-for-3. The 37-year-old is just 1-for-18 with a walk on the season after hitting .191 with the Astros last season.

Chicago White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet was solid despite a 5-3 loss to the Royals on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: The southpaw tossed five innings of two-run ball, surrendering three hits, including a homer, and no walks against five strikeouts on the day. He was in line for the win before the White Sox bullpen blew a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning. He sports an even 2.00 ERA through two starts on the season.

Chris Flexen took the loss on Monday against the Braves, allowing four runs on six hits across 4 1/3 innings with one strikeout and three walks.

Fantasy Impact: After a pair of scoreless innings to start the game, Atlanta was finally able to get to Flexen. It could have been worse for the veteran in a tough matchup. He is scheduled to face the Royals next.

The White Sox are expected to recall Lenyn Sosa from Triple-A. (Source: James Fegan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This will be the corresponding move to Eloy Jimenez likely being placed on the injured list. Sosa is 5-for-12 with two doubles so far with Triple-A Charlotte.

The White Sox placed Jimmy Lambert on the 15-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact: It is unclear if Lambert will undergo surgery or not to address his right shoulder injury.

The White Sox placed Shane Drohan on the 15-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact: Drohan underwent surgery on his right shoulder last month. He is without a clear timetable to return.

The Braves signed Jesse Chavez to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. (Source: Atlanta Braves on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Chavez was recently released by the White Sox after allowing 10 runs (nine earned) across seven innings in Spring Training. He returns to Atlanta where he excelled last season.

Braden Shewmake is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a left lateral ankle sprain. (Source: Daryl Van Schouwen in Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Shewmake had been one of the top candidates to earn a bench role in the infield for the White Sox. He'll be sidelined through early-to-mid April at the earliest.

Chicago White Sox right-hander Michael Kopech is moving to the bullpen, according to general manager Chris Getz. (Source: Bob Nightengale on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kopech was initially being stretched out as a starter but has posted a 7.71 ERA in three starts so far in spring action. The right-hander, once one of the top prospects in the game, posted a 5.43 ERA in 30 outings (27 starts) in the 2023 campaign.
