Mendick started at second base and went 3-for-3 with a double in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick posted a career-high three hits as a fill-in at second base. The White Sox placed starting second baseman Nick Madrigal on the 10-day injured list after the rookie injured his shoulder Tuesday while sliding into third base. Mendick is expected to be the primary fill-in while Madrigal mends. That could change when shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) returns, which will free up Leury Garcia to play second base.

Mendick replaced the injured Nick Madrigal (shoulder) in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Brewers. He went 0-for-3 with a run scored.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick entered the game after Madrigal injured his shoulder on a slide into third base. The White Sox have been hit with several injuries, including shortstop Tim Anderson (groin). Leury Garcia, who opened the season as the starting second baseman, moved to shortstop. That leaves Mendick as the most likely fill-in at second base while Madrigal heals. Mendick has a middling track record as a hitter in the minors.

Mendick started at third base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 14-2 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick, a utility infielder, filled in for a resting Yoan Moncada and later moved to second base when Leury Garcia was needed in the outfield. The White Sox's outfield suffered a blow when Eloy Jimenez left with light-headedness. If Garcia is needed for outfield duty, then Mendick could find a stream of at-bats at second base.

Mendick is expected to serve as the White Sox's utility infielder in 2020, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. He's hitting .235 (8-for-34) with two walks, two doubles, two RBI and eight strikeouts over 15 spring games.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick, who was a 26th-round draft pick out of the University of Massachusetts-Lowell in 2015, played three infield positions for the White Sox in 2019. When 2020 camp began, he was added to the short list of competitors, along with Leury Garcia and the organization's third-ranked prospect, Nick Madrigal, for the starting second base job. It looks like Garcia will be the starter while Madrigal hits the minors before an eventual callup later in the season. That leaves the lightly regarded Mendick, 26, as the primary backup at second base, shortstop and third base. He showed decent power for a utility infielder at Triple-A Charlotte and has stolen 39 bases over the last two minor-league seasons.

Mendick went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 9-7 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick, who got the start at second base for the resting Yolmer Sanchez, has seven hits in 21 at-bats while getting spotty playing time since being added to the roster for the month of September. The 25-year-old infielder will fill in at three infield spots whenever manager Rick Renteria wants to give Sanchez, shortstop Tim Anderson or third baseman Yoan Moncada a day off.

Mendick went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs in a 5-1 victory against the Angels on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has a hit in each of his three starts, and now he has his first career MLB homer. Mendick is 5-for-14 with one extra-base hit, one RBI and three runs across five games to begin his major league career.

Mendick started at third base and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick is a fringe prospect that doesn't project to have a role next season. He plays three infield positions, two of which are jammed up by third baseman Yoan Moncada and shortstop Tim Anderson. He could compete for a job at second base next spring, but that spot will eventually go to Nick Madrigal, who finished the 2019 season at Triple-A.

Mendick's contract was selected by the White Sox on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old spent the season with Triple-A Charlotte, hitting a solid .279/.368/.444. He's considered a fringe prospect, with no standout tools, though he could get a fair amount of at-bats down the stretch in an audition for next season.
