White Sox Outright Zach Remillard

By Steve Adams | January 10, 2024 at 1:36pm CDT

The White Sox announced Wednesday that infielder Zach Remillard, whom they designated for assignment after signing catcher Martin Maldonado to a one-year deal, went unclaimed on waivers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A. The 29-year-old (30 in February) will remain in the organization.

A tenth-round selection by the Sox back in 2016, Remillard made his big league debut last year after grinding through parts of eight minor league seasons. He appeared in 54 games and took 160 turns at the plate, batting .252/.295/.320 with a homer, seven doubles, four steals, a 5% walk rate and a 30% strikeout rate. He spent the vast majority of his time at second base and posted quality defensive grades there, though Remillard also received briefer looks at shortstop, third base and in both outfield corners.

That defensive versatility has been Remillard’s calling card throughout his minor league tenure. He carries a tepid .243/.339/.376 batting line in parts of three Triple-A seasons (1073 plate appearances), but he’s appeared at every position on the diamond other than catcher and pitcher in his eight-year professional career. Now that he’s passed through waivers, he’ll likely be in big league camp this spring and serve as a depth option for the White Sox. His experience at virtually every position on the diamond would make him a natural option for just about any injury or set of injuries the rebuilding White Sox could incur in 2024.

      Your arrows are backwards. I’m a Sox fan, but the Cubs are just better run, have an owner who’s trying to win, and have an iconic stadium instead of a so-so one.

    This guy is easy to cheer for. He always hussles and plays good defense everywhere. Not much of a bat, but he has speed for when he does get on base.

      Good assessment. He just plays hard. No ego. I probably would have been excited to see “Moncada gone, Remillard at 3rd”.

    It was hilarious how many people were boo-hooing when he was DFA.

    He’s simply not a major-league-caliber player, as evidenced by all 29 other teams declining to put in a claim.

    Nobody else thought he was worth the $50K waiver fee and a roster spot. That should tell you how much his “hustle” means in today’s game.

    Certainly an AAAA player, but a fun one. Good player for a team that sadly isn’t going anywhere for a few years…

    Perfect 26th man if you have someone else on the pines that can pinch hit. Can step in for injured players. OBA was ok in minors.

    Glad he’s still with the team.

    Does that mean Zach will or will not be at the season ticket fan event at the Field Museum on Friday? Or maybe he gets to go but has to serve appetizers
