Abreu (elbow) will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter and bat third Sunday against the Rays.

Abreu was initially scheduled to hit the bench for a fourth straight game due to the elbow issue, but after Tyler Saladino was scratched with a sore left wrist, the slugger will rejoin the starting nine earlier than expected. The White Sox will ease Abreu back in by deploying him at DH, but it shouldn't be long before he takes back his normal duties at first base. Prior to missing time with the injury, Abreu was enjoying one of his most productive stretches of the season, finishing August with a .324/.370/.595 slash line.
