Braden Shewmake will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.Shewmake will start in his fourth straight game, with two coming at second base and two at third base.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Retreats to bench
Braden Shewmake is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Minnesota.Shewmake started on the left side of the infield in five of the previous six games, but he went just 1-for-15 at the plate to bring his season average down to .143. Though he's still regarded as one of the organization's better prospects, Shewmake will likely need to have a sustained run of success as a hitter before he shifts out of utility role and takes hold of a regular job at third base or shortstop.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Losing work to DeJong
Braden Shewmake will start at third base and bat seventh in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.Shewmake will crack the lineup for the front end of the twin bill, but he seems to have moved into more of a utility infield role after he initially looked on track to unseat Paul DeJong as the team's primary shortstop. DeJong will cover shortstop for the fourth time in five games in Wednesday's opening contest.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Out against right-hander
Braden Shewmake is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.The lefty-hitting Shewmake was unsurprisingly held out of the starting nine against a pair of lefties in the first two games of the series, but his absence from the lineup Sunday versus Reds right-hander Graham Ashcraft comes as more of a surprise. Paul DeJong will draw another start at shortstop Sunday despite going 0-for-5 at the dish over the previous two days.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Poaching work from DeJong
Braden Shewmake will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.Shewmake will remain in the middle infield for the third time in four games and might have at least temporarily moved ahead of Paul DeJong on the depth chart. Though Shewmake's .597 OPS in 18 plate appearances lags behind DeJong's .625 OPS in 24 plate appearances, Shewmake at least theoretically has upside working in his favor. The Chicago White Sox head into Wednesday's game sitting on a 2-9 record and could be inclined to pull the plug on unproductive veterans like DeJong.

White Sox's Braden Shewmake: Playing versatile role
Braden Shewmake went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday against the Tigers.Shewmake started his second consecutive game, the first coming at shortstop and the latter at second base. He was productive with the opportunity, combining to go 3-for-8 with a home run and stolen base -- both of which were the first of his career. Shewmake's fit in the Chicago White Sox's infield is unclear as he's an unnatural platoon partner with Nicky Lopez at second base. That could make his primary path to playing time displacing Paul DeJong at shortstop, though it's unclear whether the team is willing to consider that move early in the season.
