Prior to today\u2019s 3-0 win over the Blue Jays, the White Sox placed outfielder Everson Pereira<\/a> on the 10-day injured list due to a left ankle sprain.\u00a0 The placement is retroactive to April 2.\u00a0 Infielder Tanner Murray<\/a> was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move, and Murray made his Major League debut as the starting shortstop in today\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n

The ankle injury forced Pereira to be removed early from last Wednesday\u2019s game against the Marlins, and a few days of rest didn\u2019t show enough improvement for the outfielder to avoid an IL visit.\u00a0 Acquired from the Rays as part of a four-player trade<\/a> in November, Pereira was Chicago\u2019s starting right fielder in five of the team\u2019s first six games, and he had a .250\/.294\/.500 slash line and one homer over his first 17 trips to the plate.\u00a0 There isn\u2019t any indication that the sprain is too serious, and until Pereira is back, the Sox figure to shuffle Derek Hill<\/a> more regularly into the outfield mix.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen how often Pereira will be part of the starting lineup over the course of the season, though the White Sox can afford to give the 24-year-old some looks as a possible post-hype breakout prospect.\u00a0 Pereira drew some top-100 attention from Baseball America during his time in the Yankees\u2019 farm system, but he hit only .146\/.227\/.215 over 176 PA with the Yankees and Rays over the 2023-25 seasons.<\/p>\n

That November trade with Tampa also brought Murray into the White Sox organization, and the 26-year-old can now officially call himself a big leaguer in his sixth pro season.\u00a0 Murray\u2019s first game was highlighted by an impressive play when the Jays had the bases loaded with two out in the third inning, as Murray got to a tricky Addison Barger<\/a> grounder up the middle and threw Barger out to end the threat.<\/p>\n

A fourth-round draft pick for the Rays in 2020, Murray posted decent numbers in the lower minors but has an uninspiring .242\/.304\/.409 slash over 622 PA at the Triple-A level, albeit with 20 home runs.\u00a0 Murray has played mostly as a second baseman, third baseman, and shortstop in the minors, but he has also gotten time at first base and all three outfield slots.\u00a0 Becoming a super-utility type might help Murray\u2019s efforts in sticking around as a bench player, and he\u2019ll provide the White Sox with some depth in his first stint in the Show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prior to today\u2019s 3-0 win over the Blue Jays, the White Sox placed outfielder Everson Pereira on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":588067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,33171,591,85,287467],"class_list":{"0":"post-588066","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-everson-pereira","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-tanner-murray"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=588066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/588067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=588066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=588066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=588066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
