White Sox Place Everson Pereira On 10-Day IL, Promote Tanner Murray For MLB Debut
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The White Sox placed outfielder Everson Pereira on the 10-day injured list retroactive to April 2 due to a left ankle sprain, which forced his early removal from last Wednesday’s game against the Marlins.
- Infielder Tanner Murray was called up from Triple-A and made his Major League debut as the starting shortstop in today’s 3-0 win over the Blue Jays, making a key defensive play to end a bases-loaded threat.
- Pereira, acquired from the Rays in November, had been the White Sox’s starting right fielder in five of the first six games with a .250/.294/.500 slash line and one homer in 17 plate appearances before his injury.
- Murray, also acquired in the same trade, is a 26-year-old versatile infielder with minor league experience at multiple positions and a .242/.304/.409 slash line at Triple-A, offering the White Sox added depth and utility off the bench.
- The White Sox plan to rotate Derek Hill more regularly in the outfield until Pereira returns, and Pereira remains a potential post-hype breakout prospect despite his struggles in previous MLB appearances.
