Chase Meidroth Injury: Enters as defensive replacement

Meidroth (thumb) entered Sunday's game against the Red Sox as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning.

Meidroth was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to tight thumb inflammation, but his ability to enter the game as a defensive replacement suggests the issue is minor. He has served as the White Sox's leadoff batter in each of his last three starts and has maintained an excellent .387 on-base percentage across his first 31 plate appearances in the majors.
