Jay was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hip strain Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It's possible that the injury explains why Jay hadn't started a game since Sunday, though the fact that he owns a .345 OPS over his last 17 contests would be an equally reasonable explanation. Ryan Cordell was recalled in a corresponding move.

Jay is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Jay is sitting out against a right-handed starting pitcher (Jose Berrios) for the third consecutive game, making it fairly safe to conclude that he's lost hold of an everyday role. The defensive-minded Adam Engel will draw into the lineup for the seventh time in eight contests and looks to have taken over Jay's spot in Chicago's regular outfield.

Jay was back in right field and went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Jay is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay is slashing just .077/.143/.077 with no extra-base hits over his past 12 appearances, so he'll head to the bench for Wednesday's series finale in Minnesota to clear his head. In his place, Leury Garcia is covering right field with Adam Engel starting in center.

Jay went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 14-4 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Jay entered the month of August with a .317 average and bumped that up to .330 before hitting the skids. Since Aug. 6, the outfielder is 3-for-39 (.077), a run that's lowered his average to .263 and dropped him to seventh in the batting order Tuesday.
