Dayan Viciedo is not in the White Sox starting lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

The White Sox don't have the DH under National League rules, so somebody has to sit. Adam Dunn will make the start in left field Tuesday.

Adam Dunn is expected to start all three games in left field during the White Sox' upcoming series in St. Louis, meaning Dayan Viciedo will be on the bench.

Losing the DH really hurts the White Sox, as it forces them to put one of their best bats on the bench. The good news with Viciedo is that he's back in the lineup Sunday after missing Saturday's game with tightness in both hamstrings.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said keeping Dayan Viciedo (hamstrings) out of the lineup Saturday was merely a precaution.

Viciedo is dealing with tightness in both hamstrings, but it sounds like he could be back in there as early as Sunday. ``I don't want to push it,'' Ventura said. ``If a guy feels he needs to pull himself, I don't necessarily want to put him right back in there the next day.''

Dayan Viciedo (hamstring) is not in Saturday's lineup.

Viciedo left Friday's game with tightness in both of his hamstrings, and is considered day-to-day. Jordan Danks will make his first major league start in left field Saturday and bat eighth.

Viciedo was 1-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced in left field by Jordan Danks. He's day-to-day.

Dayan Viciedo went 3-for-5 with one home run and five RBI in Saturday's win over the Indians.

Viciedo has now homered in three straight games and is up to 10 on the season. But the powerful righty has been hot for two weeks now, as he has seven homers and seven multi-hit outings in his last 12 games. It's a sign that Viciedo is turning the corner.

Dayan Viciedo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Angels.

The multi-hit night was Viciedo's third straight, while the home run was his second in three games. He took Jerome Williams deep in the third. The mini-hot streak has upped Viciedo's triple slash from a brutal .196/.226/.304 to .237/.263/.386. Viciedo is worth a flier if you're desperate for outfield help in your deeper mixed league, but don't be surprised if this isn't a sign of things to come.

Dayan Viciedo returned to action on Monday May 7.

Dayan Viciedo (elbow) is not in Monday's lineup.

Viciedo was hit on the right elbow by a pitch on Sunday afternoon. X-rays came back negative, but the 23-year-old Cuban appeared to be in a good amount of pain as he headed to the clubhouse. Kosuke Fukudome is playing left field Monday afternoon agaisnt the Indians.

X-rays came back negative on Dayan Viciedo's right elbow.

Viciedo left Sunday's game after being hit on the right elbow by a pitch. He appeared to be a lot of pain, but you can consider him day-to-day for now. Gordon Beckham also sustained a bruise on the outside of his left hand Sunday, but he'll be fine.

Viciedo looked to be in a lot of pain and came out of the game quickly. We'll update his condition when more is known. He was replaced by Brent Morel.

Dayan Viciedo is not in Thursday's lineup against the Indians.

Kosuke Fukudome will make the start in left field and bat seventh against right-hander Justin Masteron. Viciedo is hitting just .213 (16-for-75) with three homers, five RBI and a 20/2 K/BB ratio this season and could continue to lose at-bats if he doesn't show more consistency.

Dayan Viciedo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a losing effort against the Red Sox on Thursday.

The blast off of Felix Doubront in the fourth inning was Viciedo's third of the season. He is off to a very slow start, hitting just .196 (11-for-56) in his first full season as the White Sox starting left fielder. The organization believes strongly in his potential, but he'll have to start hitting soon or he may be at risk of losing at-bats to Kosuke Fukudome or Brent Lillibridge.

Dayan Viciedo is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Athletics.

Just a routine day off for Viciedo, who is hitting just .180 (9-for-50) with two homers and a 13/1 K/BB ratio. Kosuke Fukudome will start in right field Wednesday and bat seventh.

After getting Wednesday off, Dayan Viciedo went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Thursday in the loss to the Orioles.

Viciedo did make a nice play in left field, scooping up an 8-year-old who strayed from the stands and helping to return him there. It's one of the few contributions he's made thus far, though. Viciedo is batting .222, and while he has homered twice, those are his only two RBI and runs scored in 36 at-bats.

Dayan Viciedo is not in Wednesday's lineup.

We're assuming he's just getting the day off. Kosuke Fukudome will make the start in left field and bat seventh against Orioles' right-hander Tommy Hunter.

Viciedo's second home run was an eighth inning solo shot off of Rick Porcello. Viciedo is off to a solid start this season, batting .280/.308/.600 to go along with four extra-base hits and two RBI. He's worth keeping an eye on in deeper mixed leagues.

Dayan Viciedo took Milwaukee's Zack Greinke deep for a solo home run in Monday's blowout loss.

Viciedo's second bomb of the spring brings his final Cactus League average to an ugly .196. Viciedo finishes with hits in six consecutive games, but still shouldn't be counted on for early-season production in standard-sized mixed leagues as he gets used to the lay of the big-league land.

Dayan Viciedo doubled and walked in Friday's loss to the Royals.

His sixth-inning double was one of only two hits for the White Sox. Viciedo is still only batting .180 (9-for-50) this spring, but he has collected hits in four consecutive games.

Dayan Viciedo went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's win over the Dodgers.

That's the good news. The bad news is both knocks were singles, and Viciedo is still hitting just .140 on the spring. Despite the ugly numbers, he'll get a chance to establish himself as an everyday player in April, but he could be on a short leash.
