GLENDALE, Ariz. – Several past injuries have helped Jacob May avoid speculating on a big picture that became much more interesting with the December trade of Adam Eaton.
Limited to 83 games in 2016 after suffering abdomen strains on the left and right sides, May wants to show the White Sox he’s able to bring his highly-energetic approach to the field every day.
Of course he heard about it when Eaton was shipped to the Washington Nationals for three minor-league pitchers. The trade opened a starting spot in the White Sox outfield. But May – who went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in a 13-7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch on Saturday – doesn’t want to let a distraction prevent him from accomplishing his goals.
