BOSTON — Adam LaRoche will have two days off to find what has ailed his swing.
The White Sox designated hitter wasn’t in the lineup on Monday nor is he expected to be on Tuesday as the club gives him time to figure out his approach.
Admittedly frustrated and baffled, LaRoche is 6-for-49 with one RBI and 20 strikeouts over his last 14 games. Manager Robin Ventura thinks LaRoche’s .265 OPS in that span is likely a combination of not seeing the ball well and poor mechanics, which has the veteran in one of the longer funks of his career.
