White Sox Place Ryan Noda on IL, Recall Tristan Gray

The Chicago White Sox have placed first baseman Ryan Noda on the 10-day injured list due to a right quadriceps strain sustained during a recent game. Noda, who has struggled offensively with just three hits in 34 at-bats this season, was replaced on the roster by infielder Tristan Gray, who was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Gray, a 29-year-old minor-league veteran with limited MLB experience, has shown solid performance in the minors this season. Meanwhile, center fielder Luis Robert Jr., sidelined with a strained left hamstring, is expected to return to the lineup soon without needing a rehab assignment. Noda had been the primary first baseman for the Oakland Athletics in 2023 but has yet to find consistent success with the White Sox this year. The team appears to be experimenting with roster flexibility as they manage injuries and performance issues.
