Josh Rojas Begins Rehab Assignment with Triple-A Charlotte

Chicago White Sox infielder Josh Rojas, recovering from a hairline fracture in his right big toe suffered during spring training, will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. Rojas, who was signed to a one-year deal in January, has not played since mid-March and is expected to serve as Chicago's primary second baseman upon his return, though he offers versatility across the infield and outfield. His value to the team is primarily defensive, though he has shown flashes of offensive productivity in past seasons. Rojas' rehab assignment could be extended given his time away from competitive play, and his activation will likely require the team to make a roster move due to infield depth. Jacob Amaya is seen as a probable candidate to be designated for assignment when Rojas is ready. The White Sox are currently managing an infield roster crunch, with several players out of minor league options.
