URGENT UPDATE: The Chicago White Sox have just placed rookie shortstop Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list due to a right thumb contusion, ahead of their crucial series finale against the Seattle Mariners today.
This injury comes as a significant blow for the White Sox. Meidroth, who boasts a batting average of .252, has recorded three home runs, 15 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases this season. He revealed that he will be sidelined from swinging for “a few days” as he recovers.
Meidroth has not taken an at-bat since July 30, when he was struck by a pitch from Taijuan Walker in the fifth inning during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies. His absence will be felt as the team looks to secure a victory against the Mariners.
In a related move, the White Sox have selected the contract of shortstop Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Charlotte. This strategic decision aims to bolster the team’s infield depth following Meidroth’s injury. Additionally, right-handed pitcher Gus Varland has been designated for assignment, opening potential opportunities for other players.
As the White Sox navigate these roster changes, fans are eager to see how the team will adapt without Meidroth in the lineup. The urgency of this situation highlights the challenges faced by the team as they strive to remain competitive in the league.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops and the White Sox continue their fight in the ongoing season.
