Pirates' Charlie Tilson: Latches on with Pirates

He hit .246/.310/.290 with one home run and six steals in 280 plate appearances across three seasons in the majors with the White Sox. His sprint speed was in the 94th percentile last year, so he could provide some steals if he were to win a job in spring training.

White Sox's Charlie Tilson: Dumped from 40-man roster
Charlie Tilson was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.This doesn't come as much of a surprise after the Chicago White Sox didn't add him to the roster in September. Tilson posted just a .578 OPS with the big club before being demoted in July and went on to post a below-league-average batting line with Charlotte. He'll face an uphill battle to get back onto the 40-man.

White Sox's Charlie Tilson: Sent to Triple-A
Charlie Tilson was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.Tilson lost a fair amount of playing time when Jon Jay returned from the 60-day injured list in late June. He could be back in the big leagues at some point this season, but his .229/.293/.285 slash line through 54 games certainly doesn't suggest that he'll be a fantasy weapon if and when he returns.

Charlie Tilson will start in center field and bat eighth Sunday against the Cubs.Tilson will be picking up his third straight start Sunday, but the 26-year-old hasn't necessarily unseated Ryan Cordell as the primary option in center field. Given that Tilson is slashing just .174/.269/.217 dating back to the beginning of June, he'll likely need to deliver several quality performances before gaining traction in Chicago's everyday outfield.

White Sox's Charlie Tilson: Back in action
Charlie Tilson (illness) is back in the lineup Friday, starting in center field and batting eighth against the Twins.Tilson was bit by the flu bug earlier in the week but seems to have turned the page. If you slice his season in half, you see opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of offensive performance. In his first 22 games, Tilson slashed .303/.361/.368, but over his last 22, he's batting .156/.224/.222. If he doesn't pick it up soon, he will likely lose out on more starts to Ryan Cordell in center, with Leury Garcia needed at shortstop in place of Tim Anderson (ankle).
