White Sox Reinstates Mike Tauchman, Designates Travis Jankowski for Assignment

The Chicago White Sox have activated outfielder Mike Tauchman from the injured list, allowing him to start in right field and bat leadoff against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Tauchman was recovering from a right hamstring strain that sidelined him since late March and has not played in any games this season. To accommodate his return, the team designated outfielder Travis Jankowski for assignment. Tauchman signed a one-year deal with the White Sox after spending the previous two seasons with the Chicago Cubs, where he had a solid on-base percentage and played 109 games last season. The White Sox are looking to end a four-game losing streak in the series finale, with Martín Pérez taking the mound. Tauchman's return is seen as crucial for boosting the team's struggling offense.
