GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Chicago White Sox left fielder Nicky Delmonico suffered a partial left shoulder subluxation and shortstop Tyler Saladino suffered a head injury in a seventh-inning collision on Sunday in the White Sox 6-5 victory over the D-backs.
Delmonico and Saladino collided while both were chasing Nick Ahmed's fly ball to shallow left. Both men went down and Ahmed wound up with a triple.
Delmonico left the game immediately. Saladino was pulled after the half inning for evaluation of a possible concussion.
"Saly is the head, so we're just checking it for concussion protocol," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "We just took him out because he was fuzzy.
"As far as Nicky, he just got extended {his left arm]. It didn't pop, it didn't do anything, just got it extended and just jammed it a little bit. Both are going to be day-to-day. We'll see where they are at tomorrow. I can't give you anything else other than that."
Delmonico, who is projected to be the White Sox starting left fielder, will be further evaluated Monday. He entered the game with five doubles, tied for the Cactus League lead.
Utility player Saladino is hitting .409 in 11 games, going 9-for-22 with a double and home run.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Luis Robert, the No. 3 White Sox prospect and baseball's No. 28 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will begin the season on the disabled list, not in the outfield for one of the White Sox Class A farm clubs.
Robert has been diagnosed with a moderate Grade 2 left thumb ligament sprain. Robert suffered the injury while sliding into second base Wednesday on a stolen base. He remained in the game and hit a game-winning grand slam in the eighth inning in a 14-12 victory over the Reds.
"The thumb will be immobilized for approximately the next six weeks," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Saturday. "He will ideally be able to return to game action in roughly 10 weeks.
"As a result, he's obviously done for Spring Training. We would expect him probably roughly in extended games in early May. Hopefully we can adjust that timetable for the better once the cast comes off, but at this time, we view it as six weeks in a cast and return to games in approximately 10.
"He sustained the injury prior to the grand slam, which is a pretty impressive pain tolerance by the young man, and also speaks to the speed of the potential recovery here."
