CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox selected the contract of infielder Tim Elko from Triple-A Charlotte and placed him in the lineup at first base for his major league debut against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night.
The 26-year-old Elko was slotted to bat eighth. He hit .348 with 10 homers and 23 RBIs in 31 games with Charlotte. Elko was selected by Chicago in the 10th round of the 2022 amateur draft after he helped lead Ole Miss to the NCAA title.
In a corresponding move, the White Sox designated infielder Nick Maton for assignment.
