Alonso will have his contract selected from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso was scooped up by the Rockies on July 11, and after spending nearly two weeks in the minors, he'll be called up to the big club. He'll take the spot of Mark Reynolds, who was designated for assignment Sunday.

Alonso signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Thursday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso was let go by the White Sox at the beginning of July, but he quickly found a new home with Colorado and has been assigned to Triple-A Albuquerque. He slashed .178/.275/.301 with seven homers and 27 RBI over 67 games this season with Chicago prior to his release.

The White Sox have requested release waivers on Alonso.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment on June 28 and now becomes a free agent. Part of the reason the White Sox brought Alonso aboard was an attempt to convince Manny Machado (his brother in law) to sign there this past offseason. That didn't happen, obviously, and Alonso went on to hit .178 with seven home runs in 67 games. He should be able to latch on somewhere else, although he may have to settle for a minor-league deal.

Alonso was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso is slashing just .178/.275/.301 with seven home runs through 67 games this season, prompting the White Sox to cut their losses and remove the lefty from their 40-man roster. The team has not yet announced a corresponding roster move. Given the amount of money Alonso is owed the rest of the season, he has a chance to pass through waivers untouched and opts for free agency.

Alonso is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso will be on the bench for a second straight day while the White Sox take on a left-handed starting pitcher (Chris Sale). Jon Jay will fill in for Alonso as Chicago's designated hitter.

Alonso is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Red Sox, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has started three straight games after seemingly falling out of favor for almost a week, but has just two hits in 11 at-bats over those three contests and is hitting .129 in 31 June at-bats. James McCann is starting at DH.

Alonso went 1-for-3 in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso came off the bench to serve as the designated hitter after Welington Castillo was removed with back soreness. Alonso had lost his regular gig as the DH, starting just five of the previous 12 games, but could return to consistent at-bats depending on how manager Rick Renteria wants to handle Castillo's absence. Since losing the primary DH job, Alonso is batting .111 (2-for-18).

Alonso started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 12-1 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Rick Renteria gave Alonso a break over the weekend, keeping him out of games Saturday and Sunday, but the bat did not awaken. Monday's hitless night dropped his batting average to .181, and he appears to have lost an everyday job in the lineup.

Alonso did not play for a second straight game Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso took a seat on the bench for both weekend games as Jose Rondon and James McCann served as the designated hitter Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Judging from comments made by manager Rick Renteria over the weekend, the White Sox will be using other players, in addition to Alonso, at DH.

Manager Rick Renteria made comments Saturday that suggest Alonso's day off may be more than a one-game break, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alonso has served as Chicago's primary designated hitter while hitting mostly fourth or fifth despite a sub-.200 average. "Right now we're not getting the offense everybody was hoping to get," Renteria said. "Is it still in there? I hope it is. Think it is. But sometimes I have to let them take a step back and see if they regroup and where we go from here." On the surface, giving Alonso the day off Saturday sounds like a routine break for a struggling hitter; however, the White Sox had two off days this week and Alonso didn't play when the team visited the Nationals on Tuesday and Wednesday. He's had plenty of downtime this week to regroup, so it could be that other players will be getting a shot at designated hitter. Jose Rondon started there Saturday.
