Placed on 10-day injured list
The White Sox placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Monday with right thumb inflammation.
Analysis
Meidroth had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to the injury. He revealed Monday that it's something he's been dealing with for a few weeks, dating back to when he was still at Triple-A Charlotte, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined. Chicago is likely to use Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa as its primary middle infielders while Meidroth is sidelined.

Remains out of lineup Monday
Meidroth (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.
Analysis
Meidroth had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to right thumb inflammation. He did appear as a defensive replacement Sunday, so it appears swinging a bat is the biggest issue for him. The White Sox have Jacob Amaya at shortstop and Lenyn Sosa at second base in Monday's series finale.

Enters as defensive replacement
Meidroth (thumb) entered Sunday's game against the Red Sox as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning.
Analysis
Meidroth was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to tight thumb inflammation, but his ability to enter the game as a defensive replacement suggests the issue is minor. He has served as the White Sox's leadoff batter in each of his last three starts and has maintained an excellent .387 on-base percentage across his first 31 plate appearances in the majors.

Scratched Sunday due to thumb issue
Meidroth was scratched from Sunday's lineup against Boston due to right thumb inflammation, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis
Meidroth had originally been penciled into the starting lineup as Chicago's starting shortstop and leadoff hitter, but the thumb issue will instead have him begin the game on the bench. Jacob Amaya has taken Meidroth's spot at shortstop and is batting ninth while Nick Maton has moved up to the leadoff role.

Three hits, steal in loss
Meidroth went 3-for-5 with one RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox.
Analysis
Meidroth recorded his first career multi-hit game and added his first major-league steal in the fifth inning. Recently moved into the leadoff spot, the rookie is hitting .269 with one RBI, four runs scored, a stolen base and an impressive 5:4 BB:K across 26 plate appearances this season.

Elevated to leadoff spot
Meidroth will start at second base and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis
It's the first time Meidroth has batted higher than fifth since he was promoted last week, but it felt like only a matter of time before the White Sox put the 23-year-old and his on-base skills in the leadoff spot. Meidroth is 4-for-14 with a 22.2 percent walk rate in his first five major-league contests.
