Baldwin (wrist) could resume on-field hitting this week but is unsure he'll make it back before the end of the season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right wrist sprain that sent Baldwin to the 10-day injured list earlier this month has improved, but he might run out of time before he's ready to return to the White Sox's active roster. The rookie infielder has slashed .211/.250/.316 in 33 games for Chicago this season.

The White Sox placed Baldwin on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right wrist sprain, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
A hand injury kept Baldwin sidelined for seven consecutive games before he entered Tuesday's game off the bench, though he'll now need to miss at least another 10 days after injuring his wrist. Lenyn Sosa will presumably continue to see regular starts while Baldwin is out, and Bryan Ramos will come up from Triple-A Charlotte to replenish Chicago's infield depth.

Baldwin (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin hasn't been in the lineup since Aug. 27 due to a hand injury, though he did come off the bench to play second base in Tuesday's blowout loss, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. That appearance indicates the 24-year-old is now healthy and that he's no longer the preferred option at second base. Nicky Lopez is starting at the keystone Wednesday, but Lenyn Sosa started there in three of the previous four games.

Baldwin (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin hasn't seen the field since Aug. 27 due to a right hand injury, and he's absent from the starting nine once again Tuesday. It's unclear when the 24-year-old will return to the lineup, but the lack of IL move indicates he should still be considered day-to-day.

Baldwin (hand) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin hasn't played in nearly a week while battling a right hand injury. The hope is that he'll be ready to go Tuesday, but it's not a given he's back in the lineup. Jacob Amaya and Nicky Lopez will form the White Sox's double-play combination Monday.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets while tending to a right hand injury, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. "Probably take it slow," interim manager Grady Sizemore said in regard to Baldwin's recovery from the injury. "We are going to see how batting practice goes, and I think he's going to have probably just down at least [Sunday and Monday] and see how he's doing Tuesday."
EDGE Analysis
The injury helps explain why Baldwin will be on the bench Sunday for a fifth consecutive game after he had previously handled a near-everyday role in the White Sox middle infield following his call-up from Triple-A Charlotte on July 19. The White Sox should have steady playing time available in the infield for Nicky Lopez, Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa while Baldwin is tending to the injury.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin looks to have fallen out of a regular job, as he's been out of the lineup now for three straight games and four times over the last six contests. Jacob Amaya is at shortstop and Nicky Lopez is at second base for the White Sox in the series opener.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin also sat out the second game of Wednesday's quasi-doubleheader, so he's technically hitting the bench for a second straight contest. He's slashed only .216/.256/.324 in his first 32 big-league games. Lenyn Sosa will start at second base, and Nicky Lopez will handle shortstop for the White Sox in the series finale.

Baldwin isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin will take a seat to conclude Wednesday's activities after going 1-for-3 during a loss in Game 1. Lenyn Sosa will shift to second base while Baldwin sets, allowing Miguel Vargas to start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin started the past five games but will sit Sunday after going 3-for-16 during that stretch. Lenyn Sosa will move to the keystone while Miguel Vargas receives a start at third base.
