Jerry Sands' path to making the White Sox roster became easier last week with the departure of Adam LaRoche, but the outfielder and first baseman said he is trying to keep the same approach in the final days of spring training.
Sands is in the mix for the Sox's final two roster spots along with infielders Matt Davidson, Travis Ishikawa and Carlos Sanchez and outfielder J.B. Shuck. The Sox have an extra opening after LaRoche retired Friday.
"It helps me out a little bit, obviously, but you hate for a situation like that, for somebody to benefit from it," Sands said.
