Jay is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Rick Renteria will extend Jay some rest after the veteran played both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader. After missing the first three months of the season with a hip injury, Jay has immediately claimed a full-time role. He'll take a seat after starting in each of his first eight games back from the injured list and batting 8-for-27 with five RBI and three runs.

Jay went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Jay delivered a run for the fifth straight game and has gone 4-for-5 with runners in scoring position since being activated. He's unlikely to sustain that level of success, but if he continues to bat fifth in the order -- Sunday was his second straight day there -- he'll see RBI opportunities.

Jay went 0-for-2 with a walk in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jay made his season debut after missing three months with a strained right hip and groin injury that occurred during spring training. He had 65 plate appearances while on minor-league rehab, but he'll need time to adjust to pitching at the major-league level. Jay started in right field and batted sixth.

Jay (hip) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Jay had been out all season with what had been variously described as a hip or groin strain. There could be at-bats available in the outfield in Chicago, with Charlie Tilson's OPS sitting at .645 and Ryan Cordell's sitting at .623, though Jay isn't particularly strong with the bat himself and the team may prefer to stick with younger options. Jay will bat eighth and play right field in his first game back Monday against the Red Sox, though it remains to be seen what his role will be long-term. Odrisamer Despaigne was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Manager Rick Renteria said Jay (groin) could begin playing for the White Sox this week, Brian Sandalow of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay has been working a minor-league rehab assignment, getting 43 at-bats over 11 games at Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He's currently on the 60-day injured list, so a roster move is necessary to add him to the 40-man roster.

Jay (groin) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay started his rehab stint in the beginning of the week at Double-A Birmingham and went 2-for-10 over three games with the Barons. The veteran outfielder has yet to see MLB action this season due to the right groin strain, but he appears to be progressing toward his 2019 debut.

Jay (hip) went 1-for-4 with a single for Double-A Birmingham on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jay began a rehab assignment with the Barons on Monday and is 2-for-10 over three games. He's played the field in all three games -- either right field or center -- with Wednesday's contest being the first in which he's played the entire game. Jay's assignment can last up to 20 days, and the White Sox have given no indication of a target number of at-bats they want to see him get. With the White Sox hanging around the wild card race (three games out), Jay could be a useful piece in an outfield that needs a good glove.

Jay (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Birmingham on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay hasn't played all season due to soreness in his right hip and groin area. Given the length of his absence, his rehab assignment may not be a short one. He'll likely fill a bench role once healthy.

Jay (groin) is with the White Sox for an evaluation and could begin a rehab assignment soon, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay, who has appeared in consecutive games at extended spring training, said he's feeling good after his recent activity. "I'm going to get reevaluated here, probably work out with the guys a couple days and see what happens," Jay said. "Hopefully [a rehab] soon." While he's not a part of the team's rebuilding plan, Jay would be an upgrade defensively in the outfield.

Jay (groin) has been playing in extended spring games, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay has battled leg issues since spring training, with the injury described as a hip issue, a groin issue and a "leg-area strain." He'll play in some back-to-back games in extended spring soon before beginning a rehab assignment.
