Meidroth (wrist) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Reds.

Meidroth will sit out his second consecutive game as he tends to discomfort in his left wrist. Sam Antonacci will move over to second base again and bat eighth for the White Sox in their series opener against Cincinnati.

Lukes is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Boston.

After an 0-for-4 performance during Monday's series opener, Lukes will sit out Tuesday's game.

During his rehab assignment, Perez went 0-for-12 at the plate with a sacrifice fly and six strikeouts. It appears he's looking at an extended absence.
