The White Sox optioned Nishida to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old was called up last week by Chicago and produced a .241/.241/.241 slash line across 30 plate appearances in his first taste of the majors. Nishida could get another look later in the season, but he'll return to Charlotte for now while top prospect Braden Montgomery joins the big club.

Nishida is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
The White Sox will shield the left-handed-hitting Nishida from Twins southpaw Connor Prielipp and will go with Randal Grichuk in right field in place of the rookie. After being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Nishida opened his MLB career with a pair of starts against Minnesota and went 2-for-7 with a run scored between those contests. Nishida looks like he'll get a look as a strong-side platoon outfielder after the White Sox designated Jarred Kelenic for assignment Monday.

Nishida earned the promotion after slashing .323/.449/.384 with one home run and 15 stolen bases between Double-A Birmingham and Charlotte. The 25-year-old is starting in right field and batting ninth Monday versus the Twins in what will be his major-league debut.

Nishida is expected to have his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Nishida will join the White Sox in Chicago ahead of a four-game series against the Twins. The 25-year-old has produced a .347 average with one home run, 10 RBI, 33 runs scored and nine stolen bases over 124 at-bats in 33 games with Charlotte so far this season. Nishida has operated primarily as a second baseman at the Triple-A level, but he has combined to draw 10 starts in the outfield as well.
