The Chicago White Sox are back in the headlines—but not for reasons they’d prefer. As the season grinds on, the injured list is starting to look like the team’s most active roster. With more shakeups than a game of Jenga, the South Siders seem to be testing the limits of depth charts and fan patience alike. Another day, another shuffle in the ever-evolving saga of Sox survival.
One more injury, and one more player promoted. Reports are coming in that the White Sox have selected the contract of infielder Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Charlotte. This comes after they placed Chase Meidroth on the 10-day IL due to inflammation in his right thumb.
The White Sox have also decided to move veteran left-handed pitcher Martín Pérez from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL. Pérez started the game against the Boston Red Sox, where he pitched only for three innings before being taken off. In those three innings, he earned four runs and walked two batters.
He exited the game due to muscle soreness and was placed on the 15-Day IL, but over the weekend, he was moved to the 60-day IL because of left elbow inflammation. With Pérez’s rocky outing and a growing IL list, the White Sox seem to be fielding more medical updates than wins lately.
This flurry of roster moves highlights a team in patchwork mode, plugging holes with Triple-A call-ups and crossed fingers. If the trend continues, Charlotte might as well set up a direct bus route to the South Side. At this rate, the IL might just need its own clubhouse.
