Overview

  • Amaya was designated for assignment to open a roster spot for Chase Meidroth’s return from the 10-day injured list.
  • Being out of minor-league options forced the Sox to use the DFA and waiver process rather than option Amaya to Triple-A.
  • This is the infielder’s second DFA this season and third of the calendar year following a May waiver outright and an August roster selection.
  • He has batted just .106/.139/.121 in 73 plate appearances over 37 games for Chicago this season.
  • Across 1,351 Triple-A plate appearances he owns a .250/.348/.388 line, highlighting a stark performance gap between levels.
