White Sox's Oscar Colas: Bound for Triple-A
The White Sox optioned Colas to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
The writing seemed to be on the wall for Colas, who hadn't been playing much lately amidst a deep slump which saw him post just a .332 OPS over his last 14 games. Colas naturally retains plenty of upside and should get another shot later this season, but for now, he'll try to get back on track at Charlotte.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: On bench again
Colas is absent from the White Sox' lineup for Friday's game versus the Rays.
It's the fifth time in the last seven games that Colas has been on the bench, and this is the third time over that stretch he's not started against a right-hander. The rookie outfielder has just four hits over his last 32 at-bats to drop his season OPS to .578. It's possible he could be facing a demotion soon.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Sits again Wednesday
Colas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Colas finds himself out of the lineup for the fourth time in five games, with two absences coming against right-handers and two coming against left-handers. At this point, Colas looks to have moved into a reserve role after posting a .567 OPS through his first 71 plate appearances of the season, perhaps setting the stage for a demotion to Triple-A Charlotte so he can play regularly and regain some confidence at the dish. Gavin Sheets and Romy Gonzalez could end up forming a platoon in right field moving forward.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: On bench again Tuesday
Colas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
On the bench for the third time in four games, Colas looks to be at risk of losing his regular role in the outfield or possibly even facing a demotion to Triple-A Charlotte. After earning his way onto the Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, Colas has made little impact through his first 21 games in the big leagues. He enters Tuesday hitting just .219 with two extra-base hits (one home run, one double) and two stolen bases over 71 plate appearances.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Sitting again Sunday
Colas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Colas is 3-for-24 with eight strikeouts over his past nine contests and finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive game. Most of the 24-year-old's lineup absences this season have come against left-handed starters, but righty Zach Eflin is pitching Sunday for Tampa Bay. Gavin Sheets is starting in right field and batting fifth in the series finale.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Ending skid
Colas went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Rays.
Colas drove in a run with an infield single in the second frame and also came around to score. After a brief stretch of production to begin the season, he has gone only 9-for-46 across his last 15 games while striking out at a 25 percent clip in that span. However, he's shown recent signs of turning things around across his last two contests, as he's reached base three times in seven plate appearances. The White Sox appear willing to give Colas the chance to work through any struggles, as he's maintained consistent playing time despite posting a .233/.303/.300 slash line across 67 plate appearances on the campaign.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Heads to bench
Colas will sit Saturday against the Rays.
Colas hits the bench against lefty Shane McClanahan, meaning he's now sat against four of the five lefties the White Sox have faced this season. He isn't making much of a case to move from a platoon role to an everyday job, as he's hit just .233/.303/.300 through his first 19 MLB games.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Taking Wednesday off
Colas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
After seeing his four-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-4, two-strikeout performance in Tuesday's 4-3 loss, Colas will receive a breather for the series finale. Gavin Sheets will man right field in Colas' stead.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Productive in big win
Colas went 2-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.
Chicago used a balanced offense to put constant pressure on Pittsburgh pitching, as six different batters collected two hits each and seven different players combined for multiple runs plus RBI. Colas has had a strong start to his MLB career, batting .300 (9-for-30) through his first nine games with a homer, four RBI, five runs and two steals.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Slugs first career homer
Colas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Pirates.
Colas took Wil Crowe yard in the top of the ninth inning for the first homer of his career. He's served in a large-side platoon role in right field to begin the season, splitting time with Romy Gonzalez. Through 27 plate appearances on the campaign, Colas has collected seven hits, four runs scored and driven in two while striking out only five times.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Sitting again versus lefty
Colas is absent from the White Sox' lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Colas has been on the bench in favor of Romy Gonzalez both times his team has faced a lefty in the early going, but he is expected to play Friday against southpaw Rich Hill, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. The rookie outfielder batted .362/.417/.533 against lefties in the minors last season.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Continues strong start
Colas went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Astros.
Colas produced his second straight multi-hit game and delivered the first stolen base of his career in Sunday's series finale. The 24-year-old found himself on the bench Opening Day, but he started the past three games in right field and has gone 5-for-14 at the plate.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Not in lineup for opener
Colas is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Thursday's season opener at Houston.
The writing has been on the wall that Colas would not be in the lineup with the Astros starting tough left-hander Framber Valdez, but the talented 24-year-old from Cuba should come off the bench at some point for his MLB debut. And he is likely to be the primary right fielder for Chicago moving forward. Romy Gonzalez is in right and batting ninth Thursday at Minute Maid Park.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Officially added to roster
The White Sox selected Colas' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
Colas won a roster spot with a strong showing this spring and is slated to receive the lion's share of playing time in right field. He might sit against tougher lefties, though, at least initially, which would include during Thursday's opener versus Framber Valdez and the Astros.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: May not start Opening Day
White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters Wednesday that Colas will "play a lot" in the early part of the season, but he may not be in the lineup for Opening Day on Thursday against the Astros, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Grifol said that it will either be Colas, Eloy Jimenez or Romy Gonzalez that gets the start against the Astros on Thursday. The rookie outfielder has been informed he'll be part of the Opening Day roster for the White Sox, and it's possible Chicago will try and ease him into the lineup with tough left-hander Framber Valdez on the mound for the Astros.

White Sox's Oscar Colas: Expected to make Opening Day roster
The White Sox have informed Colas that he'll make the Opening Day roster, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.
Colas made his affiliated debut last season and played just seven games at the Triple-A level, but he performed well in big-league spring training this year, slashing .270/.281/.444 with three homers, eight runs, six RBI and a stolen base over 26 Cactus League games. The 24-year-old will presumably begin the year as Chicago's starting right fielder, but it's also possible Gavin Sheets pushes for some playing time early on if Colas experiences some growing pains in his first taste of major-league action.
