The White Sox placed Mendick on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back tightness, retroactive to Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick's back issues caused him to be scratched from the lineup prior to Friday's game, and they will now officially cost him more than a week as he heads to the IL. Bryan Ramos was recalled from Double-A Birmingham in a corresponding move and could receive the majority of reps at third base while Mendick is sidelined.
