The White Sox have designated Conor Gillaspie for assignment, according to Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com. The move will make room for Matt Albers, who was reinstated off the disabled list.
Gillaspie began the year as the White Sox’s starting third baseman, but rookie Tyler Saladino has since taken over at the hot corner. The 28-year-old has not been producing at the plate in 2015. So far this year, he owns a .237/.276/.364 slash line in 185 plate appearances. Last season, Gillaspie hit .282/.336/.416 in 130 games. For his career, Gillaspie owns a .258 .312 .393 slash line in parts of six MLB seasons. Although he has seen the bulk of his major league time with the White Sox, he did make varsity squad cameos with the Giants in 2008, 2011, and 2012.
As MLBTR’s DFA Tracker shows, Gillaspie is currently the only player in DFA limbo.
Confidence in Matt Davidson must be waaaaaay down if they’re not even going to give him a chance to play.
Alex Pressley and Wesley Wright were DFA’D as well.
Can’t beleive out of everyone in Charlotte and Birmingham and they bring up albers. This is pathetic.
