Palka started at designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Palka has been getting regular playing time as right fielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) and designated hitter Matt Davidson (back) work their way back from the disabled list. He's getting time as a replacement for each player, but we're quickly learning he's a better hitter than a fielder, which may limit him to DH duties if he sticks around when those two players return. He has an .849 OPS over 108 plate appearances, however, his deficiency in the field surfaced at a couple of pivotal moments over the last week, reinforcing the notion he needs to work on defense. Palka ranks 46th out of 48 right fielders (minimum 100 innings) with minus-7 defensive-runs saved, according to Fangraphs.

Palka went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Palka continued his strong play of late and has two hits in three of his last four games. The 26-year-old is slashing .289/.310/.557 with five home runs this season, but has drawn only three walks in 100 plate appearances.

Palka went 2-for-4 Sunday in the loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Palka delivered two base knocks for the second consecutive game, pushing his batting average to .281 through 25 games on the season. He's also hit four home runs and has driven in 16 RBI with two stolen bases.

Palka went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Palka made his 17th start for the White Sox, 12 of them in right field where he's been helping to fill in for the injured Avisail Garcia (hamstring). With recent news that Garcia had a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and is targeting a late-June return, the lefty-hitting Palka should be afforded many opportunities over the next month, particularly against right-handed starters.

Palka went 1-for-3 with a two-run triple in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Palka's fourth-inning triple pushed the White Sox ahead after they had fallen behind, 3-0. The low-level prospect is hitting .271 over 18 games, which ranks third on the team behind Jose Abreu and Yolmer Sanchez. Palka has stepped in to fill the void with Avisail Garcia (hamstring) sidelined, as White Sox manager Rick Renteria is careful not to expose the 26-year-old outfielder to too many left-handers, putting him in the best possible situation to succeed. Whether or not the manager can continue to limit Palka's opportunities, given injuries to Garcia and Nicky Delmonico (finger), is unknown.

Palka is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Palka will find his usual seat on the bench with a left-hander (Cole Hamels) starting for the opposition. In his place, Trayce Thompson will start in right field and bat ninth.

Palka is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Palka has primarily filled the strong side of a platoon in right field since Avisail Garcia (hamstring) hit the disabled list in late April, but the former will get the day off Wednesday despite a right-hander (Jameson Taillon) taking the hill for Pittsburgh. Utility man Leury Garcia will pick up the start in right field and could become a more regular threat to Palka's playing time now that Garcia no longer has a path to consistent at-bats at the keystone following Yoan Moncada's return from the DL earlier this week.

Palka is not in the starting nine against the Cubs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Palka will receive a breather following three straight starts with southpaw Jon Lester on the mound for the Cubs. In his absence, Trayce Thompson will start in right field and bat eighth.

Palka started in right field Friday and went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in an 11-2 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Palka has given the White Sox lineup a boost, having hit in three straight, going 6-for-13 with a home run and three RBI. He's started seven of the last eight games -- five in right field and two as designated hitter -- and appears to have moved ahead of Trayce Thompson as the primary fill-in starter in right while Avisail Garcia (hamstring) is unavailable.

Palka went 3-for-3 with a walk, a home run, a stolen base, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was his third in 11 games since his promotion while the steal was his first, and Palka now sports a .282/.300/.615 slash line with the White Sox. The 26-year-old has flashed plenty of pop in the minors, slamming 34 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A in 2016, and he could prove to be a solid power source for fantasy rosters if he sticks in Chicago, albeit one who likely won't help much in batting average.
