CHICAGO (AP) — The White Sox placed second baseman Lenyn Sosa on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right hip flexor and recalled first baseman Tim Elko from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Chicago transferred right-hander Miguel Castro to the 60-day IL with a torn patellar tendon in his right knee prior to its game against Detroit. The White Sox also claimed righty Ryan Cusick off waivers from the Tigers and optioned him to Charlotte.
The 25-year-old Sosa is batting .274 with four homers and 17 RBIs in his fourth season. He said through an interpreter that he was hurt running early in Monday’s blowout loss to Detroit and the pain intensified during the game. He did not play in Tuesday's win.
Sosa said he expects to return in a week-and-a-half, though manager Will Venable said the team did not have a timetable.
Elko, 26, played in 10 games with the White Sox from May 10 to May 22, going 5 for 31 with three homers and five RBIs in his first major league stint. His first hit was a three-run homer in a 4-2 win over Miami on May 11.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights goalie Carter Hart appeared to injure his left leg in the first period Thursday night of their 5-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said Hart will receive “a full evaluation” on Friday and an update likely will be provided Saturday.
“But it didn't look good when he went off, so hopefully it's nothing serious,” Cassidy said.
Columbus had possession of the puck, forcing an injured Hart to stay in the crease while his teammates tried to defend. Boone Jenner capitalized by scoring for a 1-0 lead at 8:24 of the period.
Akira Schmid replaced Hart.
NHL rules prevent the stoppage of play for an injured player if the opposing team has the puck unless it's clear that player is seriously hurt. Cassidy said he understood the officials' decision to let play continue, that it was a difficult judgment call.
The Golden Knights already were short-handed at the position with Adin Hill out since injuring his left leg Oct. 20 against Carolina. Hill practiced Thursday and could be nearing a return, but Cassidy said he couldn't say when that would happen. He made it clear that Hill won't be rushed back even if the team is down another goalie.
“I don't think you can accelerate a guy because of an injury,” Cassidy said. “I don't think the medical team would put the player at risk, and I wouldn't want them to. If he's ready, great. There's still 40 games left.”
Vegas signed Hart in October and he made his first appearance Dec. 2 in a 4-3 victory over Chicago. It was his first NHL appearance in nearly two years.
Hart was one of five 2018 Canada world junior hockey players acquitted of sexual assault in July. He was the first of those five agree to an NHL contract. The league ruled those players were eligible to sign deals beginning Oct. 15 and to play starting Dec. 1. Hart signed a two-year, $4 million contract.
He went into this game 5-3-3 with 3.23 goals-against average and .874 save percentage.
