Mendick predictably went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with Chicago as extra organizational depth. The 30-year-old has been bypassed by some of the younger talent that the White Sox want to give an opportunity to over the final few months of the year.

Mendick has been jettisoned from Chicago’s active roster to make room for newly-signed infielder Nick Senzel.

Mendick’s hit was the only hit of the game for the White Sox. He batted for Nicky Lopez in the eighth inning and took reliever Danny Coulombe 401-feet deep for a home run that left the bat at 108.1 mph. Still, Mendick is a part-time player on the worst team in baseball and should not really be a consideration for fantasy leagues.

The 30-year-old has come off the IL and immediately stepped into an everyday role, which is interesting since he’s slashing .224/.255/.367 with a 27.5 percent strikeout rate in 13 games this season. It’s a lost season for the White Sox and Mendick is not on fantasy radars.
