Colas was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Thursday.
Colas was up for just one day, making a pinch-hitting appearance in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians. The White Sox will announce a corresponding move prior to Friday's contest against the Reds.
The White Sox recalled Colas from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
As anticipated, Colas will join the big club after the White Sox placed infielder Yoan Moncada (adductor) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. With the White Sox sitting on a 2-9 record and already trending toward fading from the playoff race with Moncada and two other key regulars in Luis Robert (hip) and Eloy Jimenez (adductor) on the IL, Colas could end up getting a look as an everyday player in the outfield. The 25-year-old did little to distinguish himself after making the White Sox's Opening Day roster last spring, as he slashed just .216/.257/.314 over 263 plate appearances and ultimately finished the 2023 season in the minors. Colas had posted an .875 OPS with one stolen base through his first eight games with Charlotte this season prior to receiving a promotion.

Colas will be recalled from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Wednesday's game in Cleveland, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
The White Sox need reinforcements with Yoan Moncada (adductor) joining Luis Robert (hip) and Eloy Jimenez (adductor) on the shelf. Colas is 9-for-28 with one home run and two doubles in the early going with Charlotte and should get a decent number of reps in the outfield, at least against right-handed pitching.
The White Sox optioned Colas to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Colas was fighting for a roster spot during spring training but will shift to minor-league camp after he hit just .188 through 10 Cactus League games. The 25-year-old was the White Sox's starting right fielder to open 2023 but had a .571 OPS in 75 games, so he ended up spending much of the campaign at Triple-A.
