With the White Sox still in contention for the postseason, the team didn’t want to get bad news regarding its injured center fielder Austin Jackson. However, according to Ken Rosenthal, Jackson appears to not be progressing very well from his meniscus tear that he suffered in early June, and the White Sox could be searching for a center fielder.
The White Sox have relied heavily on J.B. Shuck in center field in Jackson’s absence. Shuck, more of a fourth outfielder and not an everyday starter, has been okay in center field, but the White Sox could certainly use a more polished outfielder for the second half.
