The White Sox placed Pollock on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right hamstring.

EDGE Analysis

Pollock's advancing age and history of lower-body injuries always made a trip to the IL a likely outcome, but the White Sox opted to wait a few days after he tweaked the hamstring in Saturday's game in Detroit before officially deactivating him. In addition to Adam Engel -- who filled in for Pollock in right field in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Tigers -- Gavin Sheets and Leury Garcia are candidates to pick up more work in the corner outfield while the veteran is sidelined.
