Schanuel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Schanuel appears to be receiving a routine day off after he had started each of the Halos' last 11 games while slashing .282/.378/.333 with seven runs and one RBI. Kevin Newman will cover first base Sunday in Schanuel's stead.

Sogard started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Royals.

Sogard was summoned from Triple-A Worcester earlier in the day and was added to the starting nine after Romy Gonzalez (back), who had been serving as the primary first baseman in the absence of Triston Casas (knee), was placed on the 10-day injured list. Sogard is a utility infielder with experience at second base, shortstop and third base, but he'll expand his resume to include first base while working in a timeshare with Abraham Toro.

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Marlins.

Vaughn was responsible for the White Sox's only run of the game, as he took Edward Cabrera deep to left field for a solo homer in the first inning. Vaughn has registered solo home runs in back-to-back games and has gone 10-for-37 with three runs scored, two home runs and four RBI since the beginning of May.

Tellez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Tellez has two homers over his last three games and a total of six long balls on the season. He's hit well in May, going 8-for-26 (.308) with seven RBI over eight contests. The slugger is batting .205 with a .713 OPS through 90 plate appearances while handling a strong-side platoon role at first base this season.

Gonzalez (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Gonzalez began dealing with the back issue Wednesday and has sat two games since. The move is retroactive to May 8, though Gonzalez's timeline to return is unclear. Gonzalez's injury also makes Boston's first base situation even more dire, with Abraham Toro projected to see the majority of playing time at the position.

The White Sox selected Elko's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Elko was a 10th-round pick for the White Sox in 2022 and has progressed consistently through the team's system. He's maintained a .339/.423/.661 line across 130 plate appearances with Charlotte this season, earning him his first shot in the majors. Elko will man first base and hit eighth in his debut Saturday against Miami, per Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com.

Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Marlins.

Vaughn popped his fourth home run of the season in the second inning of Friday's win, his first long ball since April 20. He's still managed some moderate production in that span, hitting .243 with seven RBI and four runs scored across 18 games.

Walker went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Friday against the Reds.

Walker is slowly shaking off his slow start to the season, and he extended his hitting streak to five games with Friday's performance. He's gone 7-for-20 in that span while striking out only 14.3 percent of the time. Walker is still hitting just .213 for the season, though that number is progressively ticking up.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Athletics.

Goldschmidt opened the scoring with a solo shot in the third inning. The first baseman has three homers over his last eight games, going 8-for-29 (.276) in that span. He's enjoying a resurgent campaign in his first year with the Yankees and is now up to four homers, 18 RBI, 23 runs scored and two stolen bases while maintaining a .345/.397/.486 slash line over 38 contests.

Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Gonzalez (back) could spend some time on the injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

No official move has been made just yet, but the Boston skipper hinted toward possible roster moves Saturday that could involve Gonzalez, who hasn't played since colliding with the Rangers' Josh Smith on Wednesday. Abraham Toro has been filling in at first base recently with Gonzalez injured and Triston Casas (knee) out for the season.
