Blake Tekotte - OF - White Sox

White Sox recalled OF Blake Tekotte from Triple-A Charlotte.

Tekotte will provide depth at all three outfield spots while Dayan Viciedo (oblique) is on the disabled list. He batted just .222 with the White Sox this spring and carries no fantasy value.

Blake Tekotte - OF - White Sox

White Sox optioned OF Blake Tekotte to Triple-A Charlotte.

Tekotte batted just .222 this spring prior to the demotion. He can play all three outfield spots and isn't a terrible hitter, though, so he offers decent depth in the minors.

Mar 21 - 7:16 PM

Blake Tekotte - OF - White Sox

White Sox acquired OF Blake Tekotte from the Padres for a player to be named later.

Tekotte was designated for assignment by the Friars last week after posting an underwhelming .686 OPS in 89 games this past season at Triple-A Tuscon. He will function as organizational outfield depth for Chicago.

Blake Tekotte - OF - White Sox

Padres designated OF Blake Tekotte for assignment.

The moves clears him from the 40-man roster. Tekotte, 25, went 2-for-15 (.133) in 11 games with the Padres this season and batted .243/.284/.402 with nine homers and a .686 OPS in 89 games at Triple-A. There's a chance he will pass through waivers unclaimed.

Blake Tekotte - OF - White Sox

Padres recalled OF Blake Tekotte from Triple-A Tucson.

Tekotte picked up two hits in 15 at-bats for the Pads this season while batting just .243/.284/.402 with nine homers at Triple-A. He'll compete for a bench job next spring.

Blake Tekotte - OF - White Sox

Padres optioned OF Blake Tekotte to Triple-A Tucson.

Mon, May 28, 2012 02:46:00 PM

Blake Tekotte - OF - White Sox

Padres recalled OF Blake Tekotte from Triple-A Tucson.

A third-round pick in 2008, Tekotte made only three plate appearances in his 10-day stay with the Friars earlier this year. The 24-year-old takes Mark Kotsay's spot on the roster and is probably an upgrade from a baseball perspective. That being said, Tekotte will likely have another short stint in San Diego with Kotsay due back later this month. For now, he'll serve as San Diego's fourth outfielder.

Tekotte has now bounced back and forth from the majors to the minors three times during the month of August. The 24-year-old outfielder is batting .176 (6-for-34) with the big club this season and will likely be back at some point in September.

Tekotte, 24, is batting .182 (6-for-33) with one double and one triple over multiple stints with the big club this season. He will give the Padres an extra body in their outfield while they are dealing with some injuries.

C	1	Tyler Flowers

1B	1	Paul Konerko
2B	1	Gordon Beckham D.L. Gordon Beckham (hand) started at shortstop Monday in his third rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte. Beckham played shortstop in college and as a prospect, but he has never done so in the majors. Of course, Alexei Ramirez is in the second year of a four-year, $32.5 million contract, so there would have to be an injury or a trade for him to get a look there with the big club. Still, it's an interesting development. Beckham is hitting .462 (6-for-13) with one double and two RBI over three rehab games and should be activated this weekend. May 21
	2	Tyler Greene
SS	1	Alexei Ramirez
	2	Angel Sanchez D.L. Angel Sanchez (back) is nearing a rehab assignment. Sanchez was placed on the disabled list back on April 14 with a lower back strain and is finally feeling significant improvement. He figures to need quite a few rehab games before being activated. May 14

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Chris Sale Sidelined Chris Sale has been scratched from Wednesday's scheduled start against the Red Sox due to mild tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder. It's obviously a tough break for Sale's fantasy owners, but the good news is that the move is viewed as precautionary and he's expected to be ready to start next Tuesday. Hector Santiago will get the ball Wednesday in Sale's place. He'll be pitching on three days' rest. May 21
	2	Jake Peavy
	3	John Danks D.L. John Danks (shoulder) went 4 2/3 innings Saturday in his third minor league rehab start. If everything checks out with the left-hander early this week, he should be cleared to join the White Sox starting rotation on Friday night against the Marlins. Danks has been on the shelf all year and makes for a decent waiver stash right now in AL-only fantasy leagues. Since he's coming off shoulder surgery and still rebuilding his arm strength, it might not be wise to trust him right out of the gate in standard mixed formats. Even against Miami. May 20
	4	Gavin Floyd D.L. Gavin Floyd underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair the ulnar collateral ligament and flexor muscle in his right elbow. The surgeon told the White Sox that the operation "could not have gone better." However, since he needed two major areas operated on, the recovery is expected to be 14-19 months rather than the standard 12 months for Tommy John surgery. With that timetable, Floyd probably shouldn't be counted on for a whole lot in 2014. He'll be a free agent over the winter. May 8
