Rollins went 2-for-4 and scored the game-winning run in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Playing the 2,200 game of his career at shortstop, the 17-year veteran crossed the plate with the game-winning run in the top of the ninth when Melky Cabrera plated him ofn a single. The former All-Star has been productive to date in a White Sox uniform, tallying consecutive multi-hit games and hitting safely in six of the eight contests he's participated in. Rollins' switch-hitting capabilities figure to garner him his fair share of starts over the course of the season.

Rollins is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins picked up four hits over his last three games, but manager Robin Ventura decided to give the veteran Rollins a day off with the White Sox playing an early afternoon affair Thursday. Tyler Saladino will get the start at shortstop in Rollins' place.

Rollins is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins won the White Sox's starting shortstop job coming out of spring training, but his hold on the gig could be slipping. He's gotten off to a 3-for-21 start at the plate to begin the season, and will now sit in favor of Tyler Saladino for the second time in four games.

Rollins is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins started the first three games of the season, batting second in each contest. He only has two hits in 12 at-bats, but he's more than made up for it with a home run, three runs and three RBI. Tyler Saladino will start at shortstop Thursday.

Rollins went 1-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
His first home run as a member of the White Sox could not have come at a better time -- it broke a 4-4 tie in the top of the ninth inning, after the A's had come back to tie the game in the eighth. The home run came off a lefty, Sean Doolittle, something Rollins did just twice all of last year. He's starting the year off in the two-hole for Chicago.

Rollins will start the year batting second in the White Sox's lineup, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins' strong spring not only earned him the starting shortstop gig, but also the privilege of batting between Adam Eaton and Jose Abreu. However, manager Robin Ventura said the lineup order may be fungible, depending on who is hitting and who is not.

The White Sox purchased Rollins' contract Wednesday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Robin Ventura has named Rollins his starting shortstop, and his recent lineups suggest Rollins may bat primarily in the two-hole, though the skipper said the order could shift around a bit during the regular season. Rollins has turned in a fine spring, going 17-for-48 (.354 average) with four homers, 13 RBI, and a 2:7 BB:K in 48 at-bats.

Rollins will serve as the White Sox's Opening Day shortstop, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Robin Ventura said the lineup he used Tuesday will be the one he uses next Monday in Oakland. Rollins started at short and hit second in Tuesday's lineup. Rollins earned the spot with a youthful spring (four home runs, .362 OBP), but one might expect utility man Tyler Saladino to spell him frequently in the field. Rollins is not yet on the 40-man roster, but he should be shortly.

Rollins went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the White Sox's win over the Brewers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The three hits raised Rollins' total to four in eight Cactus League at-bats. Rollins entered camp with a strong likelihood to make the White Sox's roster (as well as the team's starting shortstop gig), and he has done nothing thus far to diminish those chances.

Manager Robin Ventura expects Rollins to make the team out of spring training, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
After finally signing a minor league contract with the White Sox at the end of February, there was some question as to what role the veteran shortstop would play in the organization. Now, Rollins has the vote of confidence to make the team from his new skipper, although whether he'll start or stay behind Tyler Saladino on the depth chart is still up in the air.
