White Sox place Alex Avila on the 15-day DL, purchase contract of Omar Narvaez

White Sox add the fifth different catcher to their roster this season. Also, Jake Petricka moves to the 60-day DL to make room for Narvaez on the roster.

As expected, the White Sox have placed Alex Avila on the 15-day DL today due to a hamstring injury he aggravated last night. To replace him, the White Sox have purchased the contract of catcher Omar Narvaez from Charlotte. To make room for Narvaez on the 40-man roster, the Sox have also moved Jake Petricka to the 60-day DL.

Narvaez, 24, has made it the White Sox in a rather roundabout way.
