White Sox Place Austin Hays On IL, Select Dustin Harris
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The White Sox have placed Austin Hays on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain, following an injury sustained during a game while tracking a fly ball.
- To fill Hays' roster spot, the team selected Dustin Harris from Triple-A Charlotte; Harris is a 26-year-old outfielder who signed a minor league contract with Chicago this offseason.
- Mike Vasil was moved from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list to free up space on the 40-man roster.
- Hays, who signed a one-year $6 million contract this offseason, had a slow start offensively with a .586 OPS and 56 wRC+ through 33 plate appearances before his injury.
- Harris, a left-handed batter, may face lineup challenges since other White Sox outfielders, Andrew Benintendi and Tristan Peters, also bat left-handed.
