The Chicago White Sox designated infielder Jacob Amaya for assignment following their acquisition of reliever Miguel Castro. To accommodate this move, infielder Vinny Capra was added from waivers, and Jared Shuster was optioned to Triple-A. Amaya, known for his defensive skills, struggled significantly offensively, posting a .140 batting average over 56 games with the Sox. With no minor league options left, Amaya must clear waivers before potentially being sent to Triple-A. The Sox are also exploring trade possibilities for him during the week-long DFA process.
Amaya is a gifted defender but offers little with the bat, illustrated by his poor offensive stats during his tenure with the White Sox.
The Sox's decision to designate Amaya for assignment follows the acquisition of Miguel Castro, highlighting their roster adjustments as they attempt to strengthen the team.
