White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Remains out Thursday
Rotowire
Montgomery (side) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Montgomery will miss a second straight start with a left side issue that initially cropped up last week. The hope is that he can play again soon, but the White Sox will have to consider a stint on the 10-day injured list if Montgomery isn't ready to go sometime this weekend. Chase Meidroth will handle shortstop Thursday, while Lenyn Sosa will cover second base.

White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Still nursing side soreness
Rotowire
White Sox general manager Chris Getz said that Montgomery is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals due to continued soreness in his left side, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Montgomery missed one game last week with the same injury. He returned to action last Wednesday and has gone 6-for-20 with four home runs and one double in his five starts since then, but Montgomery apparently still hasn't totally moved past the injury. Getz noted that imaging on Montgomery's side came back negative, so consider the rookie infielder day-to-day heading into Thursday's series opener versus the Yankees.

White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Rotowire
Montgomery is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Royals.
Montgomery extended his streak of games with a home run to four during Tuesday's 5-4 loss, but the left-handed hitter is out of the lineup a day later, even with the Royals sending righty Ryan Bergert to the bump. The rookie infielder missed a game last week due to side soreness, so it's possible he could be less than 100 percent. Chase Meidroth will play shortstop and Lenyn Sosa will be at second base for the White Sox in the series finale.

Montgomery is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Rotowire
Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Twins.
Montgomery contributed to an early offensive barrage for the White Sox, as his home run came in the second inning and put the team up 7-0. He homered in all three games against the Twins over the weekend, giving him 13 long balls across his first 160 plate appearances in the majors. While his power is prodigious, Montgomery's inability to make consistent contact has persisted, potentially jeopardizing his production in the long term.

Montgomery left Monday's game against Atlanta with left side soreness.
Montgomery can be tagged as day-to-day until the team has more information on the extent of the injury. If he needs to be shut down, look for Brooks Baldwin to see opportunities at shortstop. After the game, Montgomery stated "I just took a swing on a foul ball and I kind of felt a little bit of a stretch. But I mean nothing crazy or anything like that. Got on first and they saw I was feeling for it and they asked me if I felt something and I was like yeah, but nothing too serious," per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
