Exits lineup versus lefty
Antonacci is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Antonacci doesn't always sit versus lefties, but he'll take a seat Thursday as the Yankees go with southpaw Ryan Weathers on the bump. Randal Grichuk will play left field for the White Sox.

Hits key homer
Antonacci went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Yankees.
Analysis
Antonacci started a key rally in the eighth inning, popping a two-run home run to cut Chicago's deficit to one. It was his eighth homer of the season and third in his last 13 starts. Antonacci has hit only .222 in that latter span, though he has managed to tally 10 runs scored, six RBI and a stolen base.

Idle against southpaw
Antonacci is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
Analysis
The White Sox will send Antonacci and two other left-handed batters (Tristan Peters and Andrew Benintendi) to the bench while southpaw Max Fried starts for the Yankees. Randal Grichuk will draw the nod in left field in place of Antonacci, who has produced a .792 OPS on the season but is slashing just .203/.292/.234 over 73 plate appearances versus lefties.

Tallies 14th steal
Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Astros.
Analysis
Antonacci got the White Sox's offense rolling early, singling in his first at-bat before stealing second base and coming around to score. That marked his third stolen base in July and 14th of the season. Antonacci continues to excel in the leadoff spot for Chicago, as he has 10 runs scored, eight RBI and three home runs across his last 17 games.
