White Sox Demote Prized Offseason Trade Acquisition To Minors

In a surprising move, the White Sox have optioned outfielder Dominic Fletcher to AAA, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Veteran outfielder Rafael Ortega is coming up in Fletcher’s place. Veteran outfielder Tommy Pham is also coming up, while outfielder Kevin Pillar is departing through a DFA. Swapping out Fletcher for Ortega is the second substantial personnel shift in the White Sox outfield in less than 24 hours.
