The White Sox released Drury (wrist) on Thursday. While attending spring training with Chicago as a non-roster invitee, Drury was building a strong case for an Opening Day role with the big club before fracturing his left thumb late in camp. After getting released, Drury re-signed with the White Sox on a minor-league deal April 8, then was cleared to return to game action with Triple-A Charlotte a week later. He struggled to a .179/.319/.282 slash line at Triple-A before being placed on Charlotte's 7-day injured list May 8 after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch just over two weeks earlier. The White Sox haven't shed light on the severity of the injury, but Drury's release perhaps suggests that his return to the Triple-A lineup wasn't imminent.

The White Sox re-signed Drury (thumb) to a minor-league contract Tuesday. Drury was released by the White Sox late in spring training after suffering a fractured left thumb but is now back in the organization. He's been assigned to extended spring training for now as he continues to rehab but should eventually move up to Triple-A Charlotte. Drury has a good shot to eventually be added to the major-league roster if he gets off to a good start.

The White Sox released Drury (thumb) on Sunday. Drury was having a strong spring, compiling a .410/.439/.821 slash line with three home runs and 11 RBI, but he was diagnosed with a fractured left thumb Saturday and was set to miss significant time. He was in camp on a minor-league contract, and rather than having him open the campaign on the injured list, Chicago has opted to part ways with the veteran infielder. Drury will likely now look to latch on with a new organization, though he may not be able to play in games until at least mid-May.

Drury was diagnosed with a fractured left thumb Saturday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Losing Drury is a tough blow for the White Sox, as the 32-year-old was slashing .410/.439/.821 with three home runs and 11 RBI in spring training and was likely to break camp with the big-league squad. Instead, he'll spend the first portion of the regular season on the injured list. No timeline for his return has been provided.

Drury was scratched from Friday's Cactus League lineup due to a bruised left hand, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. It's unclear when Drury suffered the injury, but he'll be held out for at least one spring game. The 32-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox during the offseason and is expected to be included on the Opening Day roster given his 1.260 OPS during spring training.
