The Chicago White Sox placed veteran outfielder Austin Hays on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.

Chicago called up outfielder Dustin Harris from Triple-A Charlotte ahead of its game with the visiting Baltimore Orioles.

The White Sox also transferred right-hander Mike Vasil, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, to the 60-day IL in a corresponding transaction.

Hays, 30, sustained the injury during the fourth inning of Monday night's 2-1 loss to the Orioles. The former All-Star is batting .219 (7-for-32) with one homer and six RBIs through nine games this season.

Harris, 26, who played in 21 games with the Texas Rangers from 2024-25, is batting .250 with three RBIs in eight games at Charlotte.

Vasil, 26, started the season on the injured list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He is out for the season.
