The White Sox will be without Leury García for the remainder of the regular season.
The team's switch-hitting utility man, who was having a solid season both offensively and defensively, injured his thumb while sliding into first base in Monday night's loss in Detroit. Manager Rick Renteria said Saturday that an MRI revealed a complete severing of the affected ligament. García, who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier this week but moved to the 45-day injured list Saturday, will require surgery and be out until at least October. That means the only way he'll return this year is if the White Sox reach the postseason.
