Kevin Youkilis launched a grand slam in Tuesday night's 7-3 victory over the visiting Yankees.

The four-run jack was Youk's only hit, but it was obviously a meaningful one. He continues to provide excellent production for his new team and should remain a strong fantasy option down the stretch. The veteran third baseman has 11 homers and 33 RBI in 46 games since joining up with the Pale Hose.

Kevin Youkilis (knee) is back in Monday's lineup against the Yankees.

Youkilis sat out Monday's game due to a sore right knee. The veteran third baseman has been a bit banged up recently and is hitting just .171 (6-for-35) with one homer and a 13/1 K/BB ratio over his last nine games.

Kevin Youkilis is not in Sunday's lineup due to a sore right knee.

It's the same knee that caused him to miss a game earlier this month. Youkilis says the knee is "barking," but it doesn't sound like something that will keep him out more than a day or two. Ray Olmedo is drawing the start at third base Sunday.

It doesn't sound like a major concern. Youkilis is batting .260/.383/.512 with nine homers, five doubles and 27 RBI through 35 games played this season for Chicago.

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe was told by a White Sox official that the team likes Kevin Youkilis, "but probably not enough" to pick up his $13 option for 2013.

That's understandable. Although Cafardo says the Sox are "content with the rental," they could always choose to bring Youkilis back at a lesser rate. The 33-year-old has proved to be a nice acquisition by general manager Kenny Williams, as he's batted .256/.377/.488 with eight homers over 33 games.

Kevin Youkilis was a monster at the plate in Saturday's loss to the Angels, going 2-for-3 with a pair of homers and three RBI.

Kevin Youkilis (ankle) is back in the starting lineup Friday against the Rangers.

Youkilis left Wednesday's game against the Twins in the fourth inning with a mild left ankle sprain, but Thursday's scheduled off-day was evidently just what the doctor ordered. He should be good to go moving forward.

Kevin Youkilis (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup Friday.

Youkilis sat out Thursday's game with a tight left hamstring. He was available off the bench, though, and is fully expected to play Friday. "Just tight enough where [you] give him [Thursday night] off and let it calm down to have him ready for the weekend,'' White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.

Kevin Youkilis is not in Chicago's starting lineup Thursday in Boston due to hamstring tightness.

Youkilis, who's batting .315 with a .941 OPS and 18 RBI in 19 games since being traded to the White Sox, is currently considered day-to-day. Eduardo Escobar will start at third base on Thursday night at Fenway Park.

Kevin Youkilis continued to terrorize his former club on Tuesday, blasting a three-run homer off Jon Lester in leading the White Sox to a 7-5 victory.

He also drew a walk and also scored a pair of runs. As a member of the White Sox, Youkilis is now batting an impressive .319 (22-for-69) with four homers and 18 RBI in his 18 games. While he may not admit it publicly, surely Youk takes tremendous pride in sticking it to Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine.

Kevin Youkilis had his finest game in a White Sox uniform on Tuesday, going 3-for-6 with a homer and four RBI as the Sox demolished the Rangers 19-2.

Youk got the White Sox offense started with a bang, blasting a two-run homer off Roy Oswalt before he recorded an out in the first inning. He'd add three singles later, finishing 4-for-6, and also scored three runs in the game. While he's no longer the dynamic offensive force that he once was, he can still be plenty useful in mixed leagues. He's now hitting .242 with five homers and 22 RBI on the season.

Kevin Youkilis left Friday's game with an upset stomach.

There was cause for concern given Youkilis' injury history, so the White Sox caught a break here. He should be good to go in a day or two.
