Dayan Viciedo went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI Wednesday versus the Twins.

Viciedo has been hot since coming off the DL, going 8-for-18 with two homers and six RBI in six games. The real oddity, though, is that he has five walks during that span. He had a 16/0 K/BB ratio in 13 games before getting hurt. Last year, he had a 120/28 K/BB ratio in 505 at-bats.

White Sox placed OF Dayan Viciedo on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain.

Viciedo was hoping to avoid the DL, but oblique injuries have a tendency to keep players out for longer than expected. Dewayne Wise and Jordan Danks should see the majority of playing time while Viciedo is sidelined. The White Sox have recalled Blake Tekotte from Triple-A Charlotte to take his spot on the active roster.
