KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chicago White Sox activated Chase Meidroth from the 10-day injured list and designated fellow infielder Jacob Amaya for assignment before they opened a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.
The 24-year-old Meidroth had been out since Aug. 7 with a bruised right thumb, which he sustained when he was hit by a pitch from the Phillies' Taijuan Walker. The injury slowed down what has been a solid rookie season for Meidroth, who is hitting .252 with three homers, 15 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 84 games.
