Soto is not in the lineup Saturday against the Tigers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soto will get the day off after starting each of the last two games. Omar Narvaez, who is riding a three-game hit streak, will take over behind the dish.

Soto is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Soto returned from the disabled list Saturday and was immediately inserted back into the lineup, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Though Omar Narvaez will be behind the plate Sunday, it still looks as though Soto still has the edge in seeing the larger portion of starts in the timeshare, as Narvaez is batting just .174/.269/.174 through 26 plate appearances on the season.

Soto (elbow) has been reinstated from the 10-day DL.
EDGE Analysis
Soto spent only the requisite 10 days on the disabled list while battling elbow inflammation. It's unclear if he'll return to the lineup immediately Saturday against Cleveland, as the White Sox have yet to release their starters, but if he's ultimately held out, Soto would likely be back behind the plate for Sunday's series finale.

The White Sox placed Soto on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with right elbow inflammation, retroactive to April 12, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop had crushed three home runs and gone 4-for-15 to start the year before he was scratched from Wednesday's contest. He's eligible to return April 22, but Soto's outlook remains uncertain until further tests are performed. He's worth stashing in two-catcher fantasy games in the meantime. His absence will open the door for Omar Narvaez to occupy the primary spot behind the plate.

Soto was scratched from Wednesday's game against the Indians with soreness in his right elbow.
EDGE Analysis
Omar Narvaez will take over behind the dish for Soto. With a vague diagnosis, it's unclear how serious the issue is at this point. Consider him day-to-day until the White Sox release more on his status.

Soto is out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Soto had been awarded the previous three starts behind the dish and churned out three homers and five RBI in those contests, so it appears he's vaulted ahead of Omar Narvaez on the depth chart at catcher for the time being. Considering the former Rookie of the Year has barely managed on-base percentages over .300 in the last four seasons, he probably won't warrant an extended look in shallower formats, but may make for a useful piece in AL-only or deeper two-catcher mixed leagues while he's dialed in at the plate.

Soto is batting eighth and catching in Friday's series opener against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Soto receives his second consecutive start after launching two homers and compiling four RBI in Thursday's win over Detroit. The veteran catcher will face right-hander Phil Hughes, who owns a 2.98 career ERA against the White Sox, and act as a battery mate for Derek Holland.

Soto went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI in Thursday's 11-2 win over Detroit. The multi-homer game was his first since 2011 when he was with the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Soto gave the White Sox some early breathing room when his three-run homer in the fourth inning gave the home team a 5-1 lead. He's expected to be the backup to Omar Narvaez this season, but should get a couple starts during each rotation. He was the catcher for most of the spring starts made by James Shields, who started Thursday, and Derek Holland.

Soto is in the lineup Thursday behind the plate and batting eighth, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
The backstop fills in for Omar Narvaez with James Shields on the mound. It'll mark Soto's first action of the 2017 season after he hit .269/.321/.487 and four home runs in 86 plate appearances with the Angels last year.

Soto's contract was purchased by the White Sox on Sunday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soto was brought on by the White Sox as a non-roster invitee, and despite a .517 OPS this spring, he'll make the roster and share catching duties with Omar Narvaez.
