DH Jerry Sands went 2-for-3 with an RBI single to break a four-game hitless streak in the White Sox's 2-1 win Thursday against the Astros. Sands, who made his ninth start at DH, also hit a single that put Jimmy Rollins in position to score the game-winning run from third base on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. Sands had a career batting average of just .143 against the Astros (2-for-21) coming into the game.

1B/DH Jerry Sands made his fourth start of the season in place of struggling RF/DH Avisail Garcia.Sands went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. The 28-year-old journeyman has started three games at designated hitter and one game at first base this season.

1B/DH Jerry Sands made his fourth start of the season on Friday night.

DH Jerry Sands got a spot start Sunday but went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, dropping his season average to .200. He has only 10 at-bats on the season and has a home run, but needs to take better advantage of opportunities to play as a starter.

OF Jerry Sands was claimed off waivers by the White Sox from the Indians on Wednesday. Sands, 28, hit .236/.286/.390 with four homers and 19 RBIs in 50 games for Cleveland this year. He batted .287/.409/.538 with 14 homers and 46 RBIs in 66 games for Triple-A Columbus.

Sands was 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Cleveland's win over Boston on Friday night.

He was once considered a decent power prospect, but his days as a prospect are in the rearview mirror. Sands has four home runs to go with a pedestrian .233 average and his ability to play first base and either corner outfield spot provides some value as a utility man for the Indians, but he typically doesn't get enough playing time to have an impact in any but AL-only fantasy leagues.

Sands is back in the lineup on Monday, batting seventh and playing in right field.

Sands has seen playing time all over the field and will replace Lonnie Chisenhall in right field on Monday. He's hitting .229 with two home runs and 13 RBI this season, but is 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI against David Price.

Sands is out of the lineup Friday for the second straight day, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Sands continues to serve as a utility man, receiving starts at first base, left field and right field within the past couple weeks. He will take a seat Friday, however, with Chris Johnson starting at first base, Mike Aviles in left field and Lonnie Chisenhall in right field.

Sands will receive the start in right field and bat seventh in the order during Sunday's game against the Twins, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.

It's the sixth start in seven games for Sands, who made a mark coming off the bench Saturday with a pinch-hit grand slam in the Tribe's 17-4 victory. His versatility should allow him to enter the lineup at a number of different positions, but the 27-year-old's .243/.317/.382 career line in the majors should temper enthusiasm about his fantasy prospects.

Sands went 1-for-4 and belted his second career grand slam Saturday in a 17-4 win over the Twins.

After being promoted from Triple-A Columbus at the end of July and going 2-for-19 in his first five outings, Sands found a way to leave a mark and an impression against the Twins. He's likely to continue to see inconsistent playing time, but his grand slam Saturday will be one to remember.

Sands was promoted from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Paul Hoynes of Northeast Ohio Media Group reports.

The Indians had a spot on the 25-man roster open up after Friday's moves, and they'll fill it with Sands, who hit .275 in 24 at-bats with the big league club earlier this season. After being assigned to Columbus in early-June, Sands has maintained a .287/.409/.538 slash line and comes up to Cleveland on the heels of a seven-game hit streak.

Sands cleared waivers and was assigned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

Sands can still make it back to the majors, but it's telling no team wanted to take a chance on him even with his strong 10 game stretch. Getting back to the big leagues will now require a 40-man roster move, which don't come around easily.

Sands was designated for assignment Sunday.

Sands left the Indians with a bang, hitting a two-run home run in his only at-bat Saturday. He'll now go on waivers, and if unclaimed, would likely return to the minors and await another opportunity.

Sands socked his first homer of the year -- a two-run shot -- and drew a walk in two plate appearances Saturday in Seattle.

Sands hit a long homer to left-center in his first at-bat since returning from the minors, but after he drew a walk his next time up, he ended up being pulled for pinch-hitter David Murphy in the sixth inning, so it was a 1-for-1 day. Sands isn't likely to see a lot of playing time for the Indians this time around, but he's done nothing but hit when given the opportunity.

Sands was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Paul Hoynes of The Plain Dealer reports.

With Carlos Santana merely being placed on the paternity list, Sands probably won't stay with the Indians for long, and his stint won't necessarily include any at-bats. Sands has been productive for both the Indians and Triple-A Columbus this season, but the big-league squad already has quite a crowd in the outfield and at DH.

Sands has accepted his assignment to Triple-A Columbus.

The Indians no longer have an immediate need for Sands, who had been a consistent presence in the lineup against left-handed starters. He started the season 8-for-23 (.348), with four RBI, two runs, two doubles and two walks. He'll likely make it back to the majors at some point this season.
