Elko (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

EDGE Analysis

Elko will shift to Triple-A following his return to health. He'd been on the shelf since July 11 after suffering a right knee sprain and was struggling through an 0-for-16 stretch at the plate prior to going down with the injury.

Elko (knee) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday and has gone 3-for-8 with two home runs, one walk, four RBI and three runs through his first two games.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox placed Elko on the 10-day injured list July 11 due to a right knee sprain, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return. Aside from moving short-side platoon outfielder Austin Slater, the White Sox didn't deal away any position players at the trade deadline, so Elko may not be in store for an everyday role at first base or designated hitter once he's activated.

The White Sox placed Elko on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right knee sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Elko suffered the injury during the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus Cleveland, and he'll now officially remain out until at least shortly after the All-Star break. Will Robertson will come up from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the open spot on Chicago's bench.

Elko was removed from the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians due to right knee soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Elko started at first base and struck out in his lone plate appearance prior to exiting the contest. It's unclear if the 26-year-old will be available for Friday's nightcap, and he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

The White Sox recalled Elko from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He'll start at first base and bat seventh in the White Sox's series finale versus the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Elko has struggled during his big-league chances thus far, putting up a .601 OPS and 38.1 percent strikeout rate over 63 plate appearances. The right-handed-hitting Elko could be a regular part of the White Sox lineup against left-handed pitching, but his opportunities to start versus righties could be more limited.

The White Sox optioned Elko to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Elko had been working as Chicago's primary first baseman prior to the demotion and slugged four homers with eight RBI and a stolen base over 18 games, though he posted a mediocre .601 OPS and 38.1 percent strikeout rate. His spot on the 26-man roster has been taken by Ryan Noda, who was called up from Charlotte in a corresponding move and could take over as Chicago's top option at first base.

Elko is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Elko started in each of the White Sox's eight games after being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on June 4. He'll get a well-earned day off Friday as Miguel Vargas handles first-base duties.

Elko went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a double Saturday in a 4-1 win against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Elko belted a two-run shot in the second inning to put Chicago in the lead for good. The 26-year-old appears to be settling into a full-time role at first base -- since his promotion from Triple-A on June 4, Elko has made four straight starts at the position, going 3-for-15 with three RBI. Meanwhile, Miguel Vargas, who had been playing first base regularly, has been slotting in at third while Josh Rojas has mostly moved to second base in the wake of Lenyn Sosa's placement on the IL due to a hip injury.

Elko went 1-for-5 with an RBI on Thursday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Elko has started at first base and hit sixth in each game since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. He has one hit in each contest and provided the game-winning knock in the 10th inning Thursday, though that was also paired with three strikeouts. Elko has a regular spot in the order for the time being, but that could change with the impending promotion of Kyle Teel.

The White Sox recalled Elko from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Elko went just 5-for-31 at the plate during his first stint in the majors, although three of those hits were home runs. The 26-year-old has mashed at Charlotte this season (.984 OPS, 11 home runs) and could receive fairly regular playing time between first base and/or designated hitter after the White Sox placed Lenyn Sosa (hip) on the injured list in a corresponding transaction.
