ANAHEIM, Calif. — The last time he stood in a major league clubhouse, Gregory Infante was 22 years old.
Six-and-a-half years and 12 minor league teams later, Infante, 29, is back. The White Sox purchased the right-hander’s contract on Monday and promoted him from Triple-A Charlotte. The eighth man in the team’s bullpen, Infante said he briefly reflected on all the hard work he has put in since he pitched for the White Sox in 2010 after he learned of his promotion.
“I was just happy because I worked a lot the last seven years,” Infante said through an interpreter.
