Donaldson (hand) is starting Saturday against the Red Sox.

Donaldson was out of the lineup Friday against Boston after he was hit by a pitch on his hand Thursday against Cincinnati. However, he went 0-for-1 with a strikeout Friday and will start at the hot corner and bat fifth a day later.

LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a run in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.

LeMahieu knocked three singles in the contest, and he was on base when Giancarlo Stanton swatted a three-run homer in the third inning. The three-hit performance was LeMahieu's sixth this season and marked the fifth time in his past nine contests that he's tallied multiple hits. Over that stretch, LeMahieu is batting .342 across 38 at-bats, though he doesn't have any extra-base hits.

Candelario isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Guardians.

Candelario is on the bench for a second consecutive matchup after he went 2-for-13 with an RBI, a walk and five strikeouts over his last four games. Harold Castro is starting at third base and batting cleanup.

Chapman went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Royals.

The third baseman took Carlos Hernandez deep in the fifth inning to blow open what had been a 4-1 game. Chapman has gone yard in back-to-back games and four of his last nine, giving him 15 homers on the season. He's batting .333 (11-for-33) over that nine-game stretch in what could be a sign of things to come -- his .257 xBA and .515 xSLG are well above his actual .226 and .428 marks.

Urias went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to Tampa Bay.

The 28-year-old took Luis Patino deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning and added a two-run shot in the eighth off Colin Poche. In 10 games since returning from the injured list, Urias is 12-for-31 (.387) with 11 RBI and three homers, improving his season slash line to .250/.299/.431 with 19 extra-base hits through 222 plate appearances.

Burger (hand) won't begin his rehab assignment Friday as previously reported, as he's come down with an illness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Burger was supposed to start working his way back from a bruised right hand with Triple-A Charlotte but will wait at least one more day to do so. It already seemed likely that the White Sox would wait to activate him until the beginning of the second half, so this delay may not actually affect his ultimate return date unless the illness winds up costing him more than a day or two.

Urshela isn't starting Friday against the Reds.

Urshela started the last three games and went 1-for-10 with a double, an RBI and two strikeouts. Jose Miranda is taking over at the hot corner and batting seventh.

Candelario isn't starting Friday's game against the Guardians.

Candelario will get a breather after he went 1-for-5 with a walk and two strikeouts over the last two games. Willi Castro is starting at the hot corner and batting sixth.

Donaldson (hand) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Red Sox.

Donaldson was hit by a pitch Thursday during a pinch hit at-bat, forcing him to exit the contest. The injury will cause him to miss Friday's game and he remains day-to-day for the time being. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base and bat leadoff versus Boston.

Burger (hand) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Burger has been out with a bone bruise in his right hand. He'll be eligible to return Saturday, but the White Sox may elect to keep him on the injured list until after the All-Star break to buy him some extra time to heal.
