White Sox Make Roster Moves Ahead of Twins Game

Welington Castillo has been placed on the concussion list, the team announced Saturday

Before their Saturday game against the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago White Sox made a series of roster moves, including placing catcher Welington Castillo on the seven-day concussion list.

Castillo is batting .176 with three home runs and 10 RBI so far this season, but was hit in the mask by a foul tip during Friday night’s game against the Twins. He will miss at least a week due to the injury, the team said in a press release.

To replace Castillo on the active roster, the White Sox recalled catcher Seby Zavala from Triple-A Charlotte. Zavala has six home runs and 18 RBI with the Charlotte Knights this season, and has yet to appear in a big league game in his career.

The White Sox also made a third roster move, activating pitcher Manny Bañuelos from the 10-day injured list. Bañuelos started Saturday’s game against the Twins, his first appearance since being placed on the I.L. with left shoulder soreness.

A roster spot had been created for Bañuelos when pitcher Thyago Vieira was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday night’s game. The reliever has gone 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA in three relief appearances with the White Sox.
