White Sox Place Chase Meidroth on 10-Day IL, Recall Bobby Dalbec

The Chicago White Sox have placed rookie infielder Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list due to right thumb inflammation that has been bothering him for about a week, primarily affecting his ability to swing a bat. Despite being scratched from Sunday's starting lineup, Meidroth was able to appear as a defensive replacement, indicating the injury is mainly problematic for his hitting. In his absence, the White Sox are expected to rely on Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa as their primary middle infielders, with Amaya filling in at shortstop and Sosa at second base. To fill Meidroth's roster spot, the team recalled infielder Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Charlotte. Meidroth has made a strong impression in his first major league appearances, maintaining a .387 on-base percentage across 31 plate appearances. The White Sox also transferred Martin Pérez to the 60-day injured list due to elbow inflammation.
