SEATTLE – The Chicago White Sox have placed rookie shortstop Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list this Thursday, due to a contusion on his right thumb, before their final series against the Seattle Mariners.
Meidroth, who is batting .252 with three home runs, 15 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases, reported that he will be out of batting action for “a few days.” He hasn’t had a plate appearance since July 30 against the Philadelphia Phillies, when he was hit by a Taijuan Walker sinker in the fifth inning.
Additionally, on Thursday, Chicago selected shortstop Jacob Amaya’s contract from Triple-A Charlotte and designated right-handed pitcher Gus Varland for assignment.
