May was cut loose by Chicago on Saturday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
May will look to latch on elsewhere after slashing .255/.303/.341 with two home runs and 30 RBI through 81 games at Triple-A Charlotte.

May was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
In order to make room for recently-acquired pitcher Miguel Gonzalez, the team cast May off the 40-man roster. The outfielder appeared in 15 games for Chicago in 2017, going 2-for-36 with three RBI and three walks during his first opportunity in the big leagues. May will ready himself for another season at the Triple-A level with Charlotte, assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed.

May has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox will wait to announce a corresponding move until Tuesday. May went just 1-for-32 over his 14 games with the White Sox and struck out 15 times. It clearly wasn't going to happen for May at the major league level. Leury Garcia will hold down the center field job for now, but we'll have to see who gets called up before the playing time situation can be sorted out.

May entered Saturday's game as a pinch hitter and delivered his first hit in the major leagues. He went 1-for-2 with a strikeout in a 7-0 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
May served as a pinch hitter for Melky Cabrera, who left the game with a wrist injury, and played left field. After opening the season as the team's starting center fielder, May struggled at the plate and has been sharing the job with Leury Garcia. If Cabrera's injury costs him any time, May will be in line for at-bats but those aren't at-bats fantasy owners want.

May returned to the lineup Saturday after sitting three straight games. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the White Sox's 6-0 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
May earned the starting job in center field based on his productive spring, but we're relearning the old adage that spring training stats don't guarantee regular-season success. May is hitless over 20 plate appearances with eight strikeouts, one walk, one run and two RBI to start his MLB career. Luery Garcia is the top backup but his .191 career average over 163 games in the majors ought to deter fantasy owners who think there might be a gem hidden somewhere in Chicago's outfield.

May is not in the lineup Thursday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
May has seen his playing time dwindle after failing to garner a hit yet this year, and Thursday marks the second day in a row that view the game from the bench. Leury Garcia will patrol center field once again in his place.

May is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old outfielder hasn't amounted to anything at the plate thus far, going 0-for-14 with six strikeouts in his six games played. May will cede the start to Leury Garcia for the afternoon, and could do so a bit more frequently if he is unable to pick things up at the plate.

May is out of the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old is 0-for-6 through his first two MLB games, but has added a pair of RBI. May will need to prove his worth if he is to hold on to a starting role in the White Sox outfield, especially with Charlie Tilson (foot) on the mend. Leury Garcia, meanwhile, will take over in center field for Friday's contest.

May went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and an RBI groundout in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
May was making his major-league debut Tuesday, batting ninth and starting in center field. With no MLB track record and just 301 at-bats at Triple-A Charlotte, May should be approached skeptically by fantasy owners.

May started in center field and batted ninth in the order in Friday's exhibition against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Rick Renteria fielded a lineup that could look very much like a regular-season batting order. May, who emerged as the White Sox's starting center fielder during training camp, was used mostly in the leadoff spot this spring but appears headed for nine-hole when the season drops Monday.
