White Sox Promote Adam Engel From Triple-A

Today, the Chicago White Sox promoted center fielder Adam Engel from Triple-A Charlotte, where he was hitting .221/.312/.463. Engel takes a roster spot vacated by utility man Tyler Saladino, who is on the 10-day disabled list with “sciatic nerve related stuff.” Engel got a hit in the eighth inning of a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers while making his major-league debut.

Manager Rick Renteria says Engel has “potentially the ability to hold his own at the plate,” according to Vinnie Duber of CSN Chicago.
