BREAKING: The Chicago White Sox have placed rookie shortstop Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list due to a right thumb contusion, just ahead of their crucial series finale against the Seattle Mariners today. This decision, made Thursday, comes as the team seeks to maintain momentum in a tight playoff race.
Meidroth, who has a batting average of .252 with three home runs, 15 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases, confirmed he will be sidelined from swinging for “a few days.” His absence is notable as he has not batted since July 30 when he sustained the injury from a sinker thrown by pitcher Taijuan Walker.
In a related move, the White Sox have selected the contract of shortstop Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the roster gap. Meanwhile, they designated right-handed pitcher Gus Varland for assignment, marking significant shifts within the team’s lineup.
This injury comes at a critical time for the White Sox, who are battling for playoff positioning. Fans and analysts will be closely monitoring the situation, as Meidroth’s contributions have been vital to the team’s performance this season.
As the team prepares for today’s game, the impact of Meidroth’s injury and Amaya’s debut will be closely watched. The White Sox will need to adapt quickly to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
