Overview
- The White Sox, who announced the move Wednesday before facing the Angels, placed Everson Pereira on the 10-day injured list with a right pectoral strain and selected Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Charlotte.
- Kelenic arrives from Charlotte hitting .202 with six home runs in 26 games after a recent surge, and his five MLB seasons to date have featured a .211 average and heavy strikeout rates.
- Kelenic has no minor-league options, which means Chicago must keep him on the 26-man roster or risk losing him on waivers if he is designated for assignment.
- Chicago’s outfield mix remains unsettled, with injuries to utility players Brooks Baldwin and Tanner Murray and a current group that includes Andrew Benintendi, Luisangel Acuña, Austin Hays, Tristan Peters, Sam Antonacci and Kelenic.
- Pereira’s stint is his second trip to the injured list this month after an April 5 ankle sprain, and he had been hitting .250 with three home runs in 18 games since being acquired from the Rays in November 2025.
