The Chicago White Sox optioned outfielder Nicky Delmonico to Triple-A Charlotte following Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays and are expected to activate rookie Eloy Jimenez from the injured list Monday.
Delmonico was batting .206 in 21 games this season with one home run and six RBIs. That one home run was a game-ending three-run shot against the Boston Red Sox on May 2. He has just one RBI in 13 games since.
Jimenez has not played since April 26 as the rookie has been on the injured list with a right ankle sprain. He was batting .241 with three home runs over the first 21 games of his career.
The White Sox will open a four-game series Monday at Houston against an Astros team that just saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end in a 4-3 defeat at Boston on Sunday.
