The White Sox transferred Jay (leg) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Jay has been battling what has been classified as a "right leg-area strain" since mid-March and has been slow to resume baseball activities. It's unclear if the veteran outfielder has hit any recent snags in his recovery, but the move to the 60-day IL ensures that he won't be ready to make his 2019 debut until at least late May. Once Jay is cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, he'll likely need close to the maximum 20 days to pick up at-bats and make up for the time he's already missed due to the injury.

Jay (hip) took batting practice for the second straight day but remains without a timetable for a return, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay is progressing slowly in his rehabilitation of a hip injury. He's doing most baseball activities with running being the last hurdle. A minor-league rehab stint is expected before he's ready to play for the White Sox.

Jay (hip) has been hitting and throwing but is not running yet, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay, who is traveling with the team, said he feels fine when taking cuts and participating in throwing sessions but acknowledged running will be the big test. ''I'm getting better. Like I said the whole time, there's no timetable," said the outfielder who described his injury as a right "leg-area strain."

Jay (hip) played catch Monday and is nearing tee work, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay continues to slowly make his way back from a hip injury, although there's still no timetable for when he could be activated from the 10-day injured list. Considering he hasn't started to hit off a tee quite yet, he likely isn't all that close to returning.

Manager Rick Renteria said Jay (hip) is making "progress" but is unsure when he'll be ready to play, Madeline Kenney of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay's missed about a month and looks to be headed for more, so expect a rehab assignment when the veteran is ready for game action. With Jay's status unclear, Daniel Palka and Adam Engel will share the playing time that doesn't go to Eloy Jimenez and Leury Garcia.

Jay (hip) will be re-evaluated by doctors after the White Sox return to Chicago on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay opened the regular season on the 10-day injured list and, according to Van Schouwen, does not appear close to returning. While he's out of action, Daniel Palka has been filling in for Jay in right field.

Jay (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Jay will begin the season on the injured list as expected due to the hip soreness that's bothered him for over a week. The move is retroactive to Monday, so the 34-year-old will be eligible to return April 4 against the Mariners, if healthy.

Jay (hip) will likely open the season on the 10-day injured list, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay has been battling hip soreness for more than a week. The issue was thought to be behind the veteran outfielder after he returned to Cactus League action Sunday, but he's poised to open the season on the shelf after experiencing renewed soreness following the contest. It's unclear how long Jay will remain sidelined; he'll be eligible to return April 4 should he prove ready. Once healthy, Jay figures to operate as the team's fourth outfielder.

Jay (hip) isn't included in the lineup for Tuesday's exhibition against the Diamondbacks, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay has been troubled by hip soreness for more than a week, but the White Sox hoped the issue was behind him after rejoined the Cactus League lineup Sunday. However, he experienced renewed soreness coming out of that contest and will end up missing the White Sox's final two exhibition games, leaving his status somewhat uncertain for Thursday's Opening Day matchup with the Royals. Even if he avoids the injured list, Jay looks set to serve as Chicago's fourth outfielder after general manager Rick Hahn recently said that top prospect Eloy Jimenez would open the season with the big club.

Jay stated that he's feeling soreness in his hip and lower back after returning to action Sunday against Cleveland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jay missed about a week while dealing with a sore hip, and although he managed to return to the lineup for Sunday's Cactus League matchup, he's not in the starting nine for Monday's clash with Arizona. This isn't thought to be a serious issue for Jay, who remains on track for Opening Day.
