The White Sox have signed infielder Brandon Drury to a minor league contract after his promising spring training was cut short by a broken thumb. Drury excelled in the Cactus League with a .410 batting average, raising expectations of making the team. However, a history of inconsistent performance and injury issues culminated in a poor 2023 season. Despite this, his versatility in the infield positions provides him with another opportunity to compete for a roster spot, particularly due to current underperformers on the team.
Drury, 32, has run pretty hot and cold in his career. At the end of the 2021 season, he had a career batting line of .249/.296/.415.
After a standout spring training where he hit .410/.439/.821, Drury faced challenges due to a broken thumb, leading to a new minor league deal with the White Sox.
His ability to play various positions except catcher boosts his chances to make the White Sox roster, especially given the underperformance of current players.
Despite a tough 2023 season plagued by injuries, Drury’s past strong performances suggest he could still positively impact the White Sox lineup.
