White Sox Place Yasmani Grandal on IL with Knee Injury

Yasmani Grandal has fallen on hard times. The Chicago White Sox catcher has been unimpressive in 74 games this season, compiling a .566 on-base plus slugging percentage, with 21 runs batted in, nine runs scored, and 61 strikeouts. His effectiveness at the plate could be impacted by the rash of injuries Grandal has suffered, but the latest setback will delay any hopes of progression.

The White Sox transferred Grandal to the 10-day injured list with a knee injury incurred against the Cleveland Guardians Saturday.

In a corresponding move, the team recalled Carlos Perez to serve as the backup catcher.
