Avila went 2-for-4 with a double and solo homer in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

His eighth-inning, 364-foot shot to left got the White Sox within one, a deficit that would grow to three in the top half of the ninth. The performance was an extension of Avila's recent hot streak, one that's seen him hit .500 (7-for-14) over his last three games. After entering June hitting just .194, he's raised his average a whopping 58 points by generating a .317/.404/.488 line this month.

Avila went 4-for-5 without an RBI or run despite the White Sox scoring seven times in Thursday's 8-7 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Well, that's an unusual batting line. It's too bad for Avila, too, as the four-hit day was huge for him -- he'd gone hitless in four straight games and entered Thursday's action batting just .211. Once one of the more promising young offensive catchers in the majors, Avila's offense has declined to the point that he's hard to own even in two-catcher leagues.

Avila is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Following an 0-for-3, two strikeout showing Tuesday, Avila will continue to alternate days on and off. Dioner Navarro will get the start behind the plate in his place Wednesday and bat sixth.

Avila went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI against the Royals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The home runs were Avila's first of the season. He is 6-for-17 to start June, but he and Dioner Navarro remain in a a 50/50 timeshare.

Avila is in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Avila went 1-for-4 and draw a pair of walks Monday in his first game back off the disabled list after dealing with a hamstring injury, but the club will look to ease him back into action, so he'll get a break Tuesday. Dioner Navarro will fill in behind the plate and bat eighth against Derek Holland.

Avila (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list Monday, Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Avila wrapped up a rehab stint at Triple-A Charlotte over the weekend, and he'll rejoin the Sox after missing just over two weeks. Avila will step back into the fold behind the plate, but he may face stiff competition from Dioner Navarro, who's fared well in Avila's stead. In a corresponding move that freed up a roster spot, Chicago DFA'd Hector Sanchez on Monday.

Avila (hamstring) played in his second rehab game for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, and he should return from the disabled list in the upcoming week, the Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

That was Avila's second rehab game in as many days. Even though he has gone hitless over those four at-bats, it is encouraging to see him play back-to-back days behind the plate after spending a few weeks on the DL. His impending activation should send Hector Sanchez to the minors, but it is unclear if he will boot Dinoer Navarro from the starting lineup. Navarro has hit .308 with a .590 slugging percentage in Avila's time away.

Avila (hamstring) will begin a rehab stint at Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sox haven't revealed how long they expect the rehab assignment to last, but Avila will likely need to play in a handful of games before returning to the big league club. Once that happens, he's expected to reenter a timeshare with Dioner Navarro behind the plate.

Manager Robin Ventura on Wednesday said Avila (hamstring) should begin a rehab assignment this week, the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is unclear how long Avila might need to spend in the minors rehabbing before the Sox activate him, but one would think it would not be more than a few games. Upon return, Avila should re-slot into a timeshare behind the plate with Dioner Navarro.

Avila (hamstring) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, Bruce Levine of 670 WSCR reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is encouraging news for Avila, as it points toward a return to the White Sox near the first day that he's eligible to return. The exact timetable is currently unknown, but that should become clearer once the details of the rehab assignment are revealed.
