Overview

  • The White Sox placed Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Aug. 4 after he suffered a right thumb contusion when struck by a Taijuan Walker sinker on July 30.
  • Manager Will Venable said Meidroth’s recovery stalled, prompting the club to move him to the IL to allow his thumb more time to heal.
  • His rehab plan includes defensive drills supplemented by timing sessions on the Trajekt machine as he refrains from batting practice.
  • To fill the roster spot, Chicago selected infielder Jacob Amaya’s contract from Triple-A Charlotte and designated right-hander Gus Varland for assignment.
  • Prior to the injury, Meidroth ranked as the White Sox’s No. 8 prospect and slashed .274/.357/.331 with eight stolen bases and elite defensive metrics over 33 games.
