White Sox place rookie shortstop Chase Meidroth on 10-day injured list with thumb contusion

SEATTLE (AP) — The Chicago White Sox placed rookie shortstop Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb contusion ahead of their series finale against the Seattle Mariners.

Meidroth, who is hitting .252 with three home runs, 15 RBIs and 11 stolen bases, said he will be shut down from swinging for “a few days.” He hasn’t registered an at-bat since July 30 against the Phillies, when he was hit by a Taijuan Walker sinker in the fifth inning of Chicago’s game against Philadelphia.

Also Thursday, Chicago selected the contract of shortstop Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Charlotte and designated right-handed pitcher Gus Varland for assignment.
