Olt is not in the lineup Friday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Olt will get his second day off in a row, though there don't appear to be any lingering issues. Tyler Saladino will get the start at third base in his place and bat ninth.

Olt was 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a winning effort against the Yankees on Friday night.
EDGE Analysis
Olt missed a game with a sore shoulder, but was back in the lineup against southpaw C.C. Sabathia. He has some pop, the home run was his fourth as the White Sox evaluate his potential for next season, but his lackluster .200 batting average is not very encouraging.

Olt (shoulder) is back in the lineup Friday for the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Olt missed just one game after injuring his shoulder earlier this week. With C.C. Sabathia set to take the mound for the Yankees, Olt will hit seventh in the order and take over at the hot corner.

Olt (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, according to CSN's Dan Hayes.
EDGE Analysis
Olt will be held out Thursday after exiting the previous day's game with shoulder discomfort. It's not clear if the setback will cost him further action, but Tyler Saladino will man the hot corner for the White Sox on Thursday night.

Manager Robin Ventura said Olt felt his shoulder "go a bit numb" during Wednesday's game, the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The discomfort made it difficult for Olt to throw, so he left Wednesday's game in the fifth inning. He should be considered day-to-day moving forward, with Tyler Saladino and Gordon Beckham the likely candidates to replace him at third base.

Olt is starting at third base and hitting eighth, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Ot went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the White Sox's win over the A's on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox said Olt would receive the lion's share of playing time at third base in the season's final weeks, and they have remained true to their word. Olt has started every game but one since he joined the roster in earlier in the month, but his home run Wednesday was his first since joining the organization. He should continue to be the favorite to start as the season winds up.

Manager Robin Ventura said Wednesday that Olt figures to see most of the time at third base down the stretch, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olt will not start Wednesday, but he started the previous three nights, and it appears he will get most of the action at the hot corner the rest of the way as the White Sox try to figure out if he will be an option for the position next season.

Olt could be in the mix for at-bats at third base in the final few weeks of the season, the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately for Olt, Tyler Saladino, Gordon Beckham, and Carlos Sanchez are all already in the mix at third base, and Matt Davidson could join the party later in the week. However, none of those guys are guaranteed the starting role in 2016, and Olt could start to make a claim for that job now that he is in a new organization.
