Gillaspie is out of the lineup Saturday against the Mariners. Gillaspie will take a seat Saturday with the left-handed James Paxton on the mound. Leury Garcia will start in his place and lead off for the White Sox.

Conor Gillaspie had another nice game Wednesday against the Red Sox, delivering his third homer and his 21st double of the season. It's bizarre how Gillaspie has gone from hitting third at the beginning of the year, when he seemed like a pretty lousy bet, to sixth now, even though he's batting .320. He didn't have a homer until July, but now he has three in seven games. Maybe it'll get him moved back up in the order.

Conor Gillaspie returned to action on Tuesday July 8.

Conor Gillaspie (knee) is hoping to return to the lineup Tuesday. Gillaspie isn't playing Monday after exiting Sunday's contest when he was hit on the right knee by a pitch. X-rays came back negative, but he remains sore. "It's not pleasant," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Monday. "Hopefully, by tomorrow he should be fine. By the miracle of [White Sox head athletic trainer] Herm [Schneider], he might be able to pinch-hit tonight. He probably could. I don't know if he'd stay in there, but he might be able to pinch-hit."

Conor Gillaspie was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Mariners with a bruised right knee. Gillaspie was drilled by a pitch and appeared to be in obvious pain as he was helped off the field. While he should avoid the DL, it wouldn't be surprising to see him rest a game or two before returning.

Conor Gillaspie went 2-for-3 with his first home run of the season in Tuesday's loss to the Angels. Gillaspie hit the two-run shot off Jered Weaver in the second inning, and he later added an RBI single and a run scored as well. For as good as Gillaspie has been this year -- he's batting .317/.360/.432 in 60 games -- the lack of power has made him difficult to start in most standard mixed leagues. Perhaps now that he's got one under his belt the next one will come in fewer than 227 at-bats.

Conor Gillaspie is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals. After a rough night at the dish on Friday, Gillaspie will take a seat against opposing southpaw Danny Duffy. Leury Garcia will draw the start at third base in his place and bat ninth for the White Sox.

Conor Gillaspie had a night to forget in Friday's loss to the Royals, going 0-for-4 and leaving seven men stranded on base. He came to the plate with two men on and no outs in the first inning and couldn't get anything done, then flew out to center field with the bases loaded his next time up and the White Sox trailing 6-2. Everyone is allowed to have an off night and even with the hitless effort, Gillaspie is slashing a tremendous .331/.380/.434 on the season.

Conor Gillaspie went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Friday in a loss to the Padres. He's not slowing down. Gillaspie has hit safely in six straight games and now owns a surprising .356/.397/.470 batting line through 35 games. His .400-plus BABIP has certainly helped matters, but the 26-year-old has been an excellent find for the White Sox.

Conor Gillaspie stayed hot Monday against the Indians, as he went 4-for-4 with three doubles, an RBI, and two runs scored. The four hits were a career-high. Gillaspie has hit safely in 11 out of his last 12 games and is now hitting .352 through 32 games. The 26-year-old has yet to hit a homer this season, but he's worth a look in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
