Early Monday, the White Sox trimmed April’s 28-player roster down to the May/regular season standard 26 by optioning infielder Danny Mendick and southpaw reliever Anderson Severino to Triple-A Charlotte.
Mendick was a bit of a surprise player to keep breaking out of camp, given the ascendance of Romy González and presence of young star Yolbert Sánchez. He played in 10 games in 2022, sporting an .818 OPS over 20 plate appearances, with two doubles, a homer, three RBIs and four runs.
The 28-year-old has appeared in 130 games over four seasons with the White Sox, and has appeared on the diamond at every position but catcher and first base in that time.
