Chase Meidroth was placed on the injured list due to a right thumb contusion from a hit by pitch. The injury is backdated to August 4, and the White Sox will manage his recovery during the home stand. Manager Will Venable mentioned the plan involves resting until Monday before checking on his readiness to swing. Jacob Amaya was called up to fill in. General manager Chris Getz noted the injury's impact on Meidroth's batting technique, emphasizing the need to eliminate any irritation during recovery. Meidroth has shown solid performance this season.
"Chase, being the hitter that he is, he's very handsy, that top hand is such a big part of his offensive game. It really sets his direction and when you have inflammation in there, you want to avoid any bad habits."
"Probably not over the weekend and then maybe get a bat in his hand on Monday and see what it looks like."
