URGENT UPDATE: The Chicago White Sox have placed rookie shortstop Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb contusion, just hours before their critical series finale against the Seattle Mariners today.
Meidroth, who has been a promising addition to the team with a batting average of .252, three home runs, 15 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases, reported that he will be sidelined from swinging for “a few days.” This setback follows an incident on July 30 when he was struck by a pitch from Taijuan Walker, leading to this painful injury.
The White Sox are feeling the impact of this loss as they aim to recover from a challenging season. Meidroth’s absence comes at a time when every game counts significantly for the team’s postseason aspirations.
In a swift move to fill the gap, the White Sox have selected the contract of shortstop Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Charlotte. Amaya will be stepping into the lineup, offering fresh hope as the team faces the Mariners. Meanwhile, right-handed pitcher Gus Varland has been designated for assignment, marking a significant roster shake-up.
This developing story highlights the White Sox’s urgent need to adapt as they navigate injuries and roster changes in the heat of the season. Fans are eager to see how the team will respond, especially with Meidroth’s promising statistics now sidelined.
Stay tuned for more updates as the White Sox continue their fight for a playoff spot without Meidroth’s contributions on the field.
