June 26, 20178 yr Colleen Kane @ChiTribKane 10m10 minutes ago White Sox call up RHP Juan Minaya and option RHP Gregory Infante to AAA Charlotte.
June 26, 20178 yr Why? Both suck. Have nearly identical AAA stats in SSS. Infante better MLB stats is SSS. Only reason I could think of is Minaya in 3 years younger and has a non-zero chance of being a part of the next Sox bullpen that matters, but just seems like a strange move to me.

Probably because Infante is most likely unavailable today, as is probably Beck and maybe Robertson, and since they are pretty much the same, it gives you another arm in the bullpen, since Ricky had a tough time with it yesterday.

Probably the same guy to get sent back down for Rodon's Wednesday start too.
June 27, 20178 yr With Putnam having TJS that takes care of the 40 man crunch, currently stands at 43 with 3 guys on the 60 day so someone had to be removed or moved to 60 day ahead of Rodon being activated.
