  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Headed to Chicago

    The White Sox selected Meidroth's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    To make room for Meidroth on the 40-man roster, the White Sox designated Justin Anderson for assignment. Meidroth was acquired from the Red Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade during the offseason, and he's now headed to the big leagues after slashing .267/.450/.600 with three home runs, four RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases across 40 plate appearances at Triple-A. Meidroth is expected to see the bulk of his playing time at shortstop.

  • Greg Jones RF | HOU

    White Sox's Greg Jones: Sent back to minors

    The White Sox optioned Jones to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Jones spent just two days in the majors following his Wednesday promotion. The outfielder didn't appear in a game for the White Sox during his short stay with the big club. In a corresponding move, the White Sox selected the contract of infielder Chase Meidroth.

  • Brayan Rocchio SS | CLE

    Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: On base three times

    Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

    Rocchio returned to the lineup after a routine day off Wednesday and delivered his second multi-hit game of the season. He hasn't done much offensively, batting just .231 with two extra-base hits, two runs scored and three RBI (all in one game) across 36 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Scratched from Thursday's lineup

    Montgomery was scratched from Triple-A Charlotte's lineup Thursday.

    The reason for Montgomery's removal from the lineup is unclear, but no injury has been announced. Montgomery has struggled to start the season with Charlotte, collecting only three hits across 37 at-bats while striking out at a 50 percent clip.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Red Sox's Trevor Story: Swipes two bags, walks it off

    Story went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays.

    After stealing two bases earlier in the outing, Story grounded out with the bases loaded to bring home the winning run in the ninth inning and walk it off for the Red Sox. The oft-injured shortstop went just 2-for-15 to open the season, but Story is picking it up in April, batting .316 with two home runs, one double and five RBI over 38 at-bats this month.

  • Chase Meidroth SS | CHW

    White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Headed to big leagues

    The White Sox are expected to call up Meidroth from Triple-A Charlotte, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    Acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason in the Garrett Crochet trade, Meidroth earned the promotion by slashing .267/.450/.600 with three home runs, two stolen bases and a 5:8 K:BB over his first nine contests with Charlotte. He has played both second base and shortstop with Charlotte, but each of his last four starts there have come at shortstop, and that's likely the position where the White Sox intend to use him. The White Sox will need to make space on their 40-man roster in order to add Meidroth.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Heading to bench Thursday

    Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

    Walls will get a breather for the day game after he started in each of the Rays' last three contests. Jose Caballero will pick up the start at shortstop in place of Walls, who has produced a .143/.273/.143 slash line with three stolen bases, two runs and one RBI over 33 plate appearances.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Swipes another bag in defeat

    Pena went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to Seattle.

    Pena doubled on a line drive to lead off the ninth frame, and he wound up coming around to score on a wild pitch after stealing third base. The 27-year-old shortstop is off to a slow start at the plate, slashing .186/.286/.349 with two solo homers over 49 plate appearances, but he does have six runs scored, four walks and four thefts through 12 contests.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers twice in win

    Seager went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

    Seager opened the scoring with a first-inning homer off Shota Imanaga before adding a second long ball off Nate Pearson in the seventh, extending the Rangers' lead to 6-1. Seager looks to be heating up at the plate -- he now has back-to-back two-hit games after going 5-for-31 (.161) with just one homer in his first nine contests this year.

  • Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW

    White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Heading to bench Wednesday

    Baldwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    Baldwin will begin Wednesday's game on the bench after he started in each of the last six games while playing four different positions (second base, shortstop, left field and right field). The White Sox haven't settled on a permanent spot for Baldwin, but the switch-hitting utility player should continue to hold down a near-everyday role.
