Pillar went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar knocked in three of Los Angeles' five runs in the defeat, drilling a two-run homer in the third inning and adding an RBI single in the eighth. The veteran went just 1-for-6 through his first three games after joining the club April 30, but he's been on a heater of late, recording three multi-hit performances across his past five games. Over that span, he's batting ..474 (9-for-19) with three home runs, 12 RBI, six runs and a stolen base.

Pillar went 3-for-4 with a triple, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar led off the bottom of the second with a triple before coming around to score on a three-run shot from Jo Adell as the Angels took a 3-1 lead. The recently acquired outfielder added two RBI singles on the night in addition to swiping his third bag of the season. Pillar has now tallied three hits in two of his last four contests, posting nine RBI and five runs scored over that stretch.

Pillar went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI during Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar made it a 3-0 ballgame with his three-run home run in the fourth inning, and his solo shot in the seventh gave the Angels a convincing 7-0 lead. The 35-year-old now sports an inflated .866 OPS through 43 plate appearances this season, but he shouldn't be relied on as a consistent source of production in fantasy.

Pillar signed a one-year, $740,000 contract with the Angels on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar elected to become a free agent Sunday after being DFA'd by the White Sox, and he'll now quickly find work with the Angels on a major-league deal. The 35-year-old slashed .160/.290/.360 across 32 plate appearances with the White Sox, and he'll give Los Angeles' outfield additional depth with Mike Trout (knee) in line for a long-term absence.

Pillar has cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent from the White Sox, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday, and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere instead of reporting to Triple-A Charlotte. The outfielder has struggled to a .160 batting average with a home run, four RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases over 25 at-bats in 17 games this season.

The White Sox designated Pillar for assignment Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old posted a .160/.290/.360 slash line through 32 plate appearances, and he'll lose his place on Chicago's 26-man and 40-man rosters to make room for Tommy Pham. Pillar could elect to become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Pillar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar hadn't picked up a hit since April 13 (six at-bats) and Wednesday's homer was his first long ball of the campaign. Pillar is batting .174 with three RBI across 29 plate appearances.

Pillar went 1-for-2 with a walk Saturday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar didn't have a particularly notable game, but he did make his second consecutive start at cleanup. Both have come against lefties, and all four of his starts on the year have come in that scenario. Though Pillar is currently on the short side of a platoon, he could see his playing time tick up due to the number of injuries the White Sox have faced early on.

Pillar is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar started in right field and batted seventh against a southpaw on Opening Day. He went 0-for-3 with one strikeout in a game that saw the White Sox shut out on three hits. Left-handed-hitting Dominic Fletcher will get the start in right field Saturday and bat sixth against Tigers right-hander Kenta Maeda.

Pillar signed a major-league contract with the White Sox on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder was cut loose by Chicago on Friday, but he'll end up rejoining the organization a couple days later. Pillar should serve as the White Sox's No. 4 outfielder and isn't likely to have much fantasy utility.
