The Chicago White Sox have placed outfielder Everson Pereira on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, due to a left ankle sprain. The team has recalled infielder Tanner Murray from their Triple-A affiliate to fill the roster spot.

Why it matters

Pereira, 24, was off to a solid start in his first season with the White Sox, batting .250 with one home run and one RBI over five games. His injury is a setback for the team as they look to build on an opening series sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays.

The details

Pereira suffered the ankle sprain in Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. The White Sox have recalled the 26-year-old Murray, who was batting .304 with two home runs and seven RBIs in six games with Triple-A Charlotte. Murray has not yet made his MLB debut.

  • Pereira was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, April 3.
  • Murray was recalled by the White Sox prior to Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

The White Sox will monitor Pereira's recovery and provide updates on his timeline to return from the injured list.

The takeaway

Pereira's ankle injury is an early setback for the White Sox, who will need to rely on their depth to fill the outfield void while he recovers. The recall of Murray provides infield versatility, but the team will hope Pereira can return to the lineup soon to boost their offense.
