EDGE Analysis
Davidson was reinstated from the disabled list Monday, but he's not penciled into the lineup for Game 1. Daniel Palka is listed as the designated hitter and will bat cleanup. Davidson has been on the shelf since May 22 with a back issue, although he could have a chance to play in the second game of the day.

Davidson (back) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson hasn't played since May 22 due to back spasms, but he'll be available for Tuesday's series opener against the Twins. The 27-year-old has been able to hit and field grounders with no issues recently, clearing the way for him to rejoin the White Sox after a minimum stay on the shelf. He'll immediately slot back in as the team's primary designated hitter, with Matt Skole being sent back to the minors in a corresponding move. Davidson was hitting .243/.368/.521 with 11 homers and 28 RBI in 42 games prior to landing on the shelf.

Davidson (back) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson has missed the last five games due to back spasms, and after being reevaluated Monday, the White Sox opted to send him to the shelf. The move is retroactive to May 25, so Davidson will be eligible to return June 4 should he prove ready. In the meantime, Matt Skole was summoned to the majors in a corresponding roster move.

Davidson (back) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Van Schouwen, manager Rick Renteria said Davidson would be reevaluated later Sunday before it's determined whether or not the designated hitter will require a trip to the disabled list. Sunday marks Davidson's fifth straight absence from the lineup due to back spasms, resulting in Jose Rondon picking up extra at-bats at DH.

Davidson (back) was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson was originally in the lineup before his back flared up during batting practice, so he'll miss a fourth straight game while Jose Rondon joins the lineup as the designated hitter. Consider Davidson day-to-day.

Davidson (back) is serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup Saturday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
As had been the hope, Davidson is good to go after missing the past three games with a back issue. The 27-year-old, who is hitting .243/.268/.521 with 11 homers and 28 RBI through 42 games this season, will face lefty Francisco Liriano in his return to action.

Davidson (back) reported feeling and moving better Friday and is hopeful to play Saturday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson played through back soreness Tuesday before it was too much to endure and sat out the last three games. Manager Rick Renteria said Davidson was improving, but will continue to proceed with caution. "Back spasms are tricky,'' Renteria said. "You don't want to create whatever is causing it to happen again.''
