White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu will remain in a walking boot through the weekend, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.

"He's here today, receiving treatment," general manager Rick Hahn told the Daily Herald Thursday. "He remains in the boot and will stay in the boot through the weekend. We'll re-evaluate next week. So far he's progressing and we continue to be optimistic about him being ready about the time the 15 days are up."

Abreu has been on the disabled list say May 18 as a result of the injury, and seems on track to return in early June. 

The Angels activated outfielder Kole Calhoun from the disabled list Wednesday.

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu will have an MRI on his injured ankle, according to CSNChicago.

The club is just being cautious with Abreu, and wants to make sure there's nothing more serious going on with the injury. He's currently expected to return once his 15-day stint is over. General manager Rick Hahn explained that the team will make sure everything is fine now that Abreu is on the DL.  "Since we do now have 15 days, we’re going to take our time to exhaust the possibilities," Hahn said.

Abreu is hitting .260, with 15 home runs, in 173 at-bats.

Indians third baseman Carlos Santana has been dropped to seventh in the batting order Sunday against the Athletics.

Abreu finished Saturday's game 0 for 3 with an RBI as the designated hitter, but had to be replaced late. He is hitting .260/.312/.595 as a rookiw.
