A.J. Pollock is out of the starting lineup Saturday for the Chicago White Sox, BaseballPress.com reports.
This is a curious move by the Sox as Pollock is 3-9 with a home run in his last two games but this will also be the third game he has sat in the last five games for the team. Pollock hasn’t been lighting up the scoreboard but it’s still surprising to see him sit so often. Gavin Sheets is playing right-field and Yasmani Grandal is the designated hitter on Saturday. If the Sox are sitting Pollock so often now, it makes you wonder what they will do when Eloy Jimenez returns from the injured list, something that is expected to happen next week.
