Chicago White Sox first baseman leaves today’s game with a concerning injury

MLB: Kansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox play a doubleheader with their divisional rival, the Cleveland Guardians, after yesterday’s game was postponed and rescheduled to today due to weather. The White Sox are limping into the All-Star break after going 4-6 in their last ten games.

Even though the White Sox are the second-worst team in baseball, they have some things to be proud of in the first half and look forward to in the second half. The biggest thing is their prospects, who have come up and provided some excitement in what will be a 100-loss season.

Of those prospects, there is one lesser-known name that fans have been excited about, who may begin the second half on the injured list after leaving today’s game with a concerning injury.

The White Sox have shuffled their roster this season, and most of it has come because of injury. That has happened again, as another injury occurred during today’s game with the Guardians, with first baseman Tim Elko leaving the game early with right knee soreness, according to the White Sox X account.

“Tim Elko left today’s game with right knee soreness.”

Before leaving the ballgame, Elko went 0-1 with a strikeout. Elko got replaced by shortstop Colson Montgomery, who also went 0-1 at the plate but drew a walk.

Hopefully, this is nothing serious for Elko

Hopefully, this isn’t anything serious, as Elko would’ve gotten an extended run at first, with Ryan Noda also being on the injured list. Elko in 20 big league games has not performed like he has in the minors, hitting .145/.209/.355 with an OPS of .564.

The White Sox moved on from Andrew Vaughn, who is having success with the Milwaukee Brewers, so Elko missing any time hurts his chances of getting an extended look at first. Elko needs to show the White Sox he’s not a Quad-A player, and hopefully this soreness is a day-to-day thing and nothing that requires a long-term stint on the injured list.
