White Sox's Matt Thaiss: Heading to bench Thursday
Matt Thaiss is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.Edgar Quero is behind the dish and Andrew Benintendi is occupying the designated-hitter spot in Thursday's series finale, so the Chicago White Sox won't have room in the lineup for Thaiss.

Thaiss has started in six of Chicago's 14 games following Quero's promotion.
