Mendick was recalled by the White Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick was sent to the White Sox's alternate training site to begin the year, but he'll be called up to serve as infield depth after Tim Anderson (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. Leury Garcia should serve as the primary shortstop in Anderson's absence, but Mendick could see some playing time as a backup.

Mendick was optioned to the White Sox's alternate training site Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick seemed to have a shot to break camp as a bench infielder, but the signing of Jake Lamb may have bumped him off the roster. He'll likely be one of the first names called up when the team needs an extra infielder but is a few injuries away from regular playing time.

Mendick was not in Tuesday's lineup for the first time in seven games as Nick Madrigal returned to action.

EDGE Analysis

Madrigal had experienced residual soreness in his surgically repaired shoulder after making his spring debut March 8. Since then, Mendick has filled in at second base but moved back to the bench in favor of Madrigal. Mendick can move around the infield from second base to third base. He's 3-for-25 with one run scored in 12 spring games.

Mendick was optioned to the alternate training site Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old saw regular playing time at second base while Nick Madrigal was on the injured list, but he's appeared in only five games since the start of September. Mendick has a .243/.281/.383 slash line with three homers in 114 plate appearances and could rejoin the team when additional infield depth is needed.

Mendick started at third base Sunday in place of the injured Yoan Moncada (leg) and went 0-for-4 in a 5-2 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick had a steady run at second base when Nick Madrigal was sidelined by a shoulder injury, but with the rookie returning over the weekend, Mendick is back to a depth role. Moncada is expected to return Monday.

Mendick was replaced at second base by the returning Nick Madrigal on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick had been a fixture at second base and at the bottom of the White Sox's order while Madrigal rehabbed a shoulder injury. He took advantage of the opportunity with a .757 OPS and three home runs, but Madrigal is a top prospect and will be the primary starter going forward.

Mendick went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 10-3 win against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old capped off the White Sox's four-run second inning by hitting a two-run shot to right field. Mendick has been a fixture at the bottom of the lineup with Nick Madrigal (shoulder) and Leury Garcia (thumb) sidelined, and he's taken advantage of the opportunity with a .266/.314/.443 slash line and nine runs, three homers and six RBI in 25 games.

Mendick went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick smacked his first home run of the season, taking Rony Garcia deep in the sixth inning. He's gotten regular playing time in the absence of both Leury Garcia (thumb) and Nick Madrigal (shoulder), and has held his own by maintaining a .275/.327/.412 line across 55 plate appearances. However, he has batted exclusively in the bottom third of the order, limiting him to five runs scored and only one RBI.

Mendick went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored across both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick appears to be firmly entrenched as the starting second baseman for the White Sox, who placed Leury Garcia (thumb) on the 45-day injured list Saturday. With both Garcia and Nick Madrigal (shoulder) unavailable, Mendick should be the primary option at second base until Madrigal, who is playing catch and taking groundballs, is ready to return. Mendick is batting .273 (12-for-44) with no RBI in 15 games.

Mendick started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Monday's 5-1 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick's started seven straight and eight of the last nine games while the White Sox covered for the loss of shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) and second baseman Nick Madrigal (shoulder). Mendick and Leury Garcia, who sustained a hand injury and left Monday's game, have been manning the middle infield. Mendick's performed well during this run, going 10-for-27 with three runs and two extra-base hits in his eight starts. However, his presence could end soon; Anderson is expected back Tuesday. Mendick's playing time will depend on how Garcia, who opened the season as the team's starter at second base, checks out in his medical evaluation.
