Overview
- Sam Antonacci joined the White Sox on Wednesday and notched a bloop single in his first MLB at-bat against the Rays.
- The team also recalled left-hander Tyler Gilbert, optioned Brandon Eisert to Triple-A, and designated outfielder Dustin Harris for assignment.
- Harris enters a waiver window that can run up to a week, and because he was previously outrighted he can elect free agency if he clears.
- Antonacci earned the promotion with a .313/.500/.479 start at Triple-A Charlotte and brings contact, plate discipline, speed, and defensive versatility across second base and left field.
- The move fits a broader youth-first push that recently included pitcher Noah Schultz, as the Sox seek more run production and steadier lineup options during an early-season slump.
