MLB Player News

Ibanez had his contract selected by the Rangers on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old was sent to minor-league camp at the end of spring training and will join the big-league roster after spending the first month of the season at the alternate site. Ibanez is looking to make his MLB debut after posting an .872 OPS in 121 games at Triple-A during 2019. Brock Holt (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Andrus is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The 32-year-old will head to the bench Tuesday while mired in a 3-for-26 slump over his past eight appearances. Vimael Machin receives the start at shortstop and will bat ninth while Andrus receives a day off to reset.

Gimenez is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Royals.

He's batted .103 with zero home runs and one steal in his last 29 at-bats. Amed Rosario will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Arraez (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Arraez suffered the concussion during a collision at the plate in Monday's contest. He will be eligible to return May 11 in Chicago. Nick Gordon was recalled to provide infield depth in the short term.

The White Sox recalled Mendick from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

He'll assume the active roster spot of outfielder Luis Robert (hip), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Leury Garcia is expected to serve as the primary replacement for Robert in center field for at least the short term, which should allow Mendick to operate as Chicago's main utility infielder.

Merrifield went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 8-6 loss to Cleveland.

He took Aaron Civale deep in the fourth inning, giving the Royals a short-lived 3-1 lead, Merrifield snapped a 22-game homerless drought with the blast, and on the season he's hitting .269 with four home runs, eight steals, 18 runs and 21 RBI through 27 contests.

Polanco went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, two RBI, a walk and a run scored Monday against the Rangers.

Polanco drove in a run in the sixth on a triple to center, and he added an important insurance run in the eighth by doubling home another. Following his multi-hit performance, the 27-year-old is slashing .223/.286/.330 with one home run, 12 RBI and two stolen bases through 25 games.

Arraez left Monday's game against the Rangers due to concussion-like symptoms, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Arraez was involved in a play at the plate and left the contest shortly after. It's unclear at this point whether he'll need a trip to the 7-day concussion injured list.

Gimenez isn't starting Monday's game against the Royals.

Gimenez had gone 0-for-7 with two strikeouts across the last two games. Amed Rosario will shift to shortstop while Harold Ramirez starts in center field.

Haggerty went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Angels.

Haggerty reached base via a seventh-inning walk and proceeded to steal second for his fifth stolen base of the year. The 27-year-old has already surpassed his total from 2020, although he only played in 13 games a season ago. The steals haven't been enough to cover for his lack of production at the plate, as he's slashing .200/.254/.327 with two home runs, five RBI, 10 runs scored and a 4:18 BB:K.
