It has quite literally been an up-and-down season for Tim Elko. After beginning the year with 10 home runs in his first 31 games with Triple-A Charlotte, the White Sox promoted him for his major league debut. Ten games later, though, Elko was optioned back down to Charlotte, only to be recalled eight games later. “It’s been a journey, and that’s part of the game,” Elko said on June, 4, when he rejoined the White Sox.
