The outfielder is batting .229 average and but 16 strikeouts and no walks indicated he's not patient enough at the plate.

Description: White Sox left fielder Dayan Viciedo is hitless in seven career at-bats against Indians' starter Justin Masterson. | Insight: Viciedo hasn't been especially impressive this year, connecting on just four hits in 23 at bats (.174). The only good news is that he started slowly in 2012 only to explode in May (.351, 8 HR, 24 RBI in 28 games). | | |

Description: Chicago White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo is 9-for-19 (.474) with a pair of homers and a 1.263 OPS against Royals lefty Bruce Chen. | Insight: Vicideo has nice season-long numbers for a 23-year old in his first full-time gig, but most of the production came in an unbelievable May when he batted .351 with eight homers, 24 RBI and a .955 OPS. After three slow months, Viciedo has rebounded to have a solid September posting an .810 OPS. He's worthy of a start on Wednesday against Chen. | | |

Description: Chicago outfielder Dayan Viciedo is just 1-for-13 (.077) in his career against Royals starter Luis Mendoza. | Insight: Vicideo has nice season-long numbers for a 23-year old in his first full-time gig, but most of the production came in an unbelievable May when he batted .351 with eight homers, 24 RBI and a .955 OPS.

| 7/25/2012 6:05:00 PM |
Description: Chicago outfielder Dayan Viciedo hit his 16th homer of the season as part of a three-hit, four-RBI game Wednesday against the Twins. | Insight: Vicideo has cooled dramatically after his homer binge in May, hitting just five homers with 22 RBIs in his last 43 games. He's nothing more than a fourth outfielder in deeper leagues at this point. | | |
| 6/28/2012 10:19:00 PM |
Description: Chicago outfielder Dayan Viciedo won the game for the White Sox Thursday night with his ninth inning three-run homer off of Yankees reliever David Robertson. | Insight: Vicideo's batting average isn't where it was earlier in the season (.254) but he can still hit for power. His 14 homers this season are already a career high and if he keeps raking at this rate, he could finish the 2012 campaign with 30 jacks. | | |
| Cold | 6/27/2012 11:35:00 AM |
Description: White Sox young outfielder Dayan Viciedo is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. No injury, just a rest day. | Insight: Fantasy owners had their chance to "sell high" on Viciedo in May when he batted .351 with eight homers and 24 RBI. In June he's batting just .162 with a .480 OPS and his fantasy value has plummeted. If he's still on your roster, you have to hope he adjusts to what pitchers are now doing to him and gets hot again. Or cut him. | | |

Description: White Sox young outfielder Dayan Viciedo is still seeking his first hit against Minnesota starter Francisco Liriano (0-for-7). | Insight: Fantasy owners had their chance to "sell high" on Viciedo in May when he batted .351 with eight homers and 24 RBI. In June he's batting just .180 with a .521 OPS and his fantasy value has plummeted. If he's still on your roster, you have to hope he adjusts to what pitchers are now doing to him and gets hot again. Or cut him. | | |
| Cold | 6/23/2012 11:06:00 PM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo went 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs Saturday against the Brewers. | Insight: Viciedo came in batting .132 with a .396 OPS in 17 games in June. Watch out for him, as he showed in May he is capable of reeling off eight homers in 15 games. | | |
| Cold | 6/15/2012 11:33:00 AM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo has batted just .114 in June (4-for-35) with a putrid .384 OPS. | Insight: Those who sold high on Viciedo after his torrid May (.351, 8 HR, 24 RBI) have to be smiling. Those who held on to him can only hope he can adjust to what the pitchers are doing to him lately because he has little trade value at this point and he's simply not producing. | | |
| 6/10/2012 2:53:00 PM |
Description: Adam Dunn's move to the outfield means that outfielder Dayan Viciedo will be relegated to the bench for Chicago's upcoming series against the Cardinals. | Insight: Viciedo (.266, 12 HRs, 29 RBIs) will be the odd man out when the White Sox head to St. Louis but that doesn't mean he won't get a few at bats here and there as a pinch-hitter. And remember, this demotion is only temporary: Viciedo will still be an everyday player for the White Sox whenever they play in American League stadiums. | | |
| Cold | 6/8/2012 10:11:00 AM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo left Friday night's game with tightness in both hamstrings. | Insight: Viciedo had a huge May, batting .351 with eight homers and 24 RBI, but is struggling in June hitting just .115 in seven games. It looks like your chance to "sell high" is gone. Hopefully he can turn it around. | | |
