DETROIT — In need of infield help, the Chicago White Sox called up Jake Burger from Triple-A Charlotte, one of four roster moves announced Friday.
The Sox also reinstated right fielder Adam Eaton from the 10-day injured list and optioned designated hitter Yermín Mercedes and reliever Zack Burdi to Charlotte.
Burger, 25, is slashing .322/.368/.596 with 15 doubles, 10 home runs, 36 RBIs and 29 runs in 42 games with Charlotte this season. Earlier this week, he was named to the American League team for the All-Star Futures Game, which is July 11 at Colorado’s Coors Field.
