White Sox put Austin Hays on IL, Brooks Baldwin reportedly out for season

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

Additionally, infielder Brooks Baldwin will reportedly miss the season after he was placed on the injured list before Opening Day with what was first diagnosed as an elbow sprain.

Baldwin, 25, elected to have an internal brace procedure on his elbow last week, according to multiple reports Tuesday. The 25-year-old utility player batted .240 with 11 home runs and 38 RBIs in 103 games for Chicago last season.

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.
