White Sox's Danny Mendick taking seat Wednesday afternoon

Chicago White Sox infielder Danny Mendick is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's game against right-hander Chase De Jong and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Mendick started 12 straight games for the White Sox but he will take a seat Wednesday after going 1-for-14 over the last five. Leury Garcia will shift to second base and bat seventh while Jake Lamb starts in right field and hits cleanup.
