Slater was scratched from the lineup Friday against the Red Sox, and now the reason is clear. Slater will assuredly miss more than the minimum stint, and the White Sox have recalled Greg Jones to take his place on the active roster.

Jones was just optioned back down to Charlotte Friday, but he’s allowed to be recalled since he’ll take the place of Austin Slater, with Slater hitting the injured list. Jones will be a bench option with the White Sox while with the team; probably for longer than 24 hours this time.

Benson is sent down to Triple-A to make room for Andrew Abbott (shoulder) after Abbott came off the injured list. The 26-year-old outfielder likely will be back as a bench option at some point over the late spring.

Abbott, 25, will be making the start Saturday against the Pirates on Saturday after missing the beginning of the 2025 season recovering from his shoulder operation in 2024. The southpaw offers some fantasy upside, and is worth a look as a streamer against a not-so-great Pittsburgh lineup.

Arcia and Nick Allen continue to rotate at shortstop, and Allen will get the start at shortstop and hit ninth against Drew Rasmussen and the Rays.

Duran will get a day off Saturday against left-hander Martin Perez and the White Sox. The Red Sox will instead have Romy Gonzalez lead off and play first base, with Rob Refsnyder playing left field. Duran should be back Sunday.
