The Chicago White Sox have made final preparations for the upcoming season by trimming their roster ahead of Opening Day. They opted to send right-handed pitcher Gus Varland to Triple-A Charlotte and released infielder Brandon Drury, who recently fractured his thumb. Despite an impressive .410 batting average in spring training, Drury's injury hindered his chances of making the team. This development could pave the way for top prospect Chase Meidroth to join the roster as the White Sox head north to Chicago.
The Chicago White Sox have made significant roster cuts ahead of the new season, most notably releasing infielder Brandon Drury following an injury.
Brandon Drury's release, after a strong spring performance but subsequent thumb fracture, impacts his aim for a rebound season with the White Sox.
Gus Varland's option to Triple-A Charlotte and Drury's release leaves the White Sox with 39 players as they prepare for the Opening Day roster.
Chase Meidroth, the White Sox's No. 8 overall prospect, is now likely to secure a position on the Opening Day roster due to these cuts.
