The Chicago White Sox announced that outfielder Zach DeLoach has cleared waivers and will be assigned to Triple-A Charlotte, remaining with the organization as non-roster depth for spring training. DeLoach, who struggled during his MLB debut last season with a disappointing .209 batting average, showed better performance in Triple-A but still saw a decline in power. His versatility in the outfield may open opportunities as the White Sox's outfield roster appears unsettled, particularly with potential trades involving current players like Luis Robert Jr.
The White Sox announced Friday that outfielder Zach DeLoach cleared waivers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Charlotte.
DeLoach made his big league debut with the ChiSox last year but struggled in a small sample, managing only a .209/.293/.283 output.
Now that he's passed through waivers, he'll likely compete for a backup job in camp and will otherwise head to Charlotte to begin the season.
Chicago's outfield mix is a mess and only figures to see further turnover, with Luis Robert Jr. standing as a clear trade candidate.
