Conor Gillaspie (flu) is available to pinch-hit Thursday.

Marcus Semien will start at third base and bat second in Thursday afternoon's series-finale against the Twins. Gillaspie went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Chicago's Opening Day win over Minnesota on Monday but came down with the flu on Tuesday's off-day.

Gillaspie is hitting .250/.289/.556 this spring, but leads the competition for the White Sox opening day gig at third base. With Marcus Semien and Matt Davidson also as capable options, he'll need to hit in the early going if he wants to maintain his spot in the lineup.

Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Conor Gillaspie is "tightening his grip" on the White Sox' third base job.

Many assumed after the Sox traded for Matt Davidson that he would open the year as the starter at the hot corner, but he's batted just .192 this spring and looks like he needs a little more time at Triple-A. The left-handed swinging Gillaspie, who batted .245 with 13 homers and 40 RBI last season for the Pale Hose, could platoon at third base with Marcus Semien.

Conor Gillaspie went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the Indians on Tuesday.

Conor Gillaspie smacked a pair of doubles in Monday's victory over the Tigers.

He finished 2-for-4 with a run scored. To put Gillaspie's day in context, consider that he'd collected only two extra-base hits between August 12 and yesterday. The third baseman is batting .251 with 12 homers and 33 RBI. He's merely an AL-only player.

Conor Gillaspie went 2-for-5 and hit a go-ahead homer in the top of the 12th as the White Sox beat the Royals 4-3 on Thursday.

The sweep in Kansas City means six straight wins for the White Sox and five straight losses for the Angels. Gillaspie's homer was his 11th, but he's hitting just .245 with 34 runs scored, 30 RBI and no steals in 327 at-bats. He could use a big finish to ensure that he remains in the White Sox's plans for 2014.

Gillaspie finished the night 2-for-4. He is very quietly doing a nice job in his rookie season with the White Sox. Through 86 games, he's hitting .254/.314/.404 with nine homers and 25 RBI.

Gillaspie has left the team to be present for the birth of his first child. He can remain away from the team for 24 to 72 hours. Brent Morel has been recalled to replace him on the active roster.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Conor Gillaspie won't see much of a drop in playing time after Gordon Beckham (hand) is activated from the disabled list.

That means we're likely to see Jeff Keppinger on the bench more. It makes sense given that Gillaspie is batting .291/.351/.425 with three homers and Keppinger is sporting a hideous .223/.229/.263 mark with one longball. Gillaspie's production is likely to fade, but he's worth playing in deeper leagues while he's producing.

Conor Gillaspie hit a walkoff RBI single Saturday to lift the White Sox past the Marlins.

Gillaspie singled up the middle in the second inning, singled to right field in the fourth and then roped a walkoff RBI single to left field in the bottom of the ninth inning to score Dewayne Wise from second base. Gillaspie has a solid .298/.362/.444 batting line with three homers and nine RBI in 42 games this season.

Conor Gillaspie (illness) grounded out as a pinch-hitter Monday night against the Twins.

Gillaspie hadn't played since Friday due to an upper respiratory infection. However, it sounds like he is now past the issue. The 25-year-old is batting .275/.337/.440 with three home runs, seven RBI and a .776 OPS in 33 games this season.

Conor Gillaspie went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in the White Sox victory over the Mets on Wednesday.

The third baseman is now hitting .291 this season, and he was rewarded by batting cleanup in Wednesday's game. Gillaspie was mainly a reserve with the Giants, but he seems to have found a home starting at third base with the White Sox. Still, until he shows he can be a useful player over the course of a full season, we're inclined to pass on him outside of AL-only leagues.

Conor Gillaspie launched his first homer since joining the White Sox in Monday's loss to the Indians.

Gillaspie took Justin Masterson deep in the second inning before later adding a single and a walk. The former Giant has been playing regularly since Gordon Beckham's injury, and while Monday's homer was his first RBI, he's now batting .326 over 45 plate appearances. He needs to be owned in AL-only formats.

Conor Gillaspie drew another start at third base on Friday, and delivered a pair of hits in a losing effort against the Indians.

On an evening where the White Sox could only muster five total hits against Justin Masterson, Gillaspie had good swings all night, going 2-for-3 with a double. He has a chance to earn everyday at-bats at third base in the absence of Gordon Beckham, and could be worth a look in deeper mixed leagues.

Conor Gillaspie went 2-for-4 with a double Thursday against the Nationals.

The White Sox chose not to call up Carlos Martinez or Brent Morel in Gordon Beckham's place, so it looks like Gillaspie is in line for plenty of playing time at third base. That makes him worthy of a pickup in AL-only leagues.
