The Chicago White Sox's current batting order against the Milwaukee Brewers signals that Tim Elko's promotion is unlikely, as the team prioritizes evaluating Gage Workman amidst roster constraints. Workman plays third while Andrew Vaughn shifts to DH due to an ongoing underperformance. With Miguel Vargas hitting well and improving his defense, Elko's impressive performance is overshadowed by the focus on existing players, which raises concerns about management's evaluation process in context of building a stronger team for the future.
"Since the team still refuses to give Andrew Vaughn the Spencer Torkelson treatment, and Vargas is better defensively, moving Vaughn to DH is the only spot to still get him at-bats."
"Acquiring Workman is worth it since it costs nothing, and the whole point of this season is to give runway to future pieces for the next competitive team."
