Chicago White Sox Announce Three Roster Moves
The Chicago White Sox announced three roster moves ahead of Monday's 11:10 a.m. ET game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston.
Infielder Chase Meidroth was placed on the 10-day injured list with right thumb inflammation, and infielder Bobby Dalbec was called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Left-handed pitcher Martín Pérez was transferred to the 60-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. He was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday.
Meidroth, the White Sox No. 8 prospect, opened the season in Charlotte and made his MLB debut April 11 at home against the Red Sox. Through his first 31 MLB plate appearances, Meidroth has four runs, seven hits, one RBI, five walks and four strikeouts. He has a .269 batting average and a .656 OPS.
Dalbec will help to replace the 23-year-old Meidroth. The White Sox signed Dalbec to a minor league contract in January. He was with the Red Sox from 2020-24, playing 269 games at first base, 55 at third base and single-digit games at other infield and outfield positions.
Across 48 plate appearances with Triple-A Charlotte this season, Dalbec had nine runs, 15 hits, three doubles, four home runs, 13 RBIs, a stolen base, two walks and 16 strikeouts. He was batting .326 with a 1.050 OPS. Dalbec's best big-league season came in 2021, when he hit 25 home runs and had a .792 OPS.
Pérez left Friday's game after three innings and 52 pitches with what the team called left forearm soreness. He allowed five hits, four earned runs, two walks and zero strikeouts. He had been perhaps the White Sox's most reliable starter the first three times through the rotation, allowing just three earned runs across 17 innings.
