US EditionWhite Sox looking to ignite offense in encounter vs. Marlins
- The Chicago White Sox called up powerful hitter Tim Elko from their Triple-A team in Charlotte for the May 10 matchup against the Miami Marlins.
- Elko's promotion follows ongoing offensive struggles and a slump by Andrew Vaughn, who holds a.186/.223/.293 batting line with three homers in 36 major league games.
- Elko, a 26-year-old 10th-round draft pick in 2022, has delivered a strong.348/.431/.670 slash with 10 home runs over 31 games at Triple-A Charlotte this season.
- Will Venable confirmed that both Elko and Vaughn will be part of the lineup on Saturday, though he has yet to determine who will take first base and who will serve as the designated hitter amid the White Sox’s offensive challenges.
- The promotion aims to address the White Sox's low power production, as the team ranks last in MLB with 26 homers, suggesting Elko could help improve a long-standing offensive problem.
