The White Sox announced on Thursday that the team placed infielder Emilio Bonifacio on the bereavement list before the team's game against the Cleveland Indians on CSN.
In a corresponding move, the Sox called up infielder Leury Garcia from Triple-A Charlotte. Garcia, 24, is hitting .301 with a home run, 23 RBI and 27 stolen bases in Charlotte.
Garcia played in 74 games for the White Sox last year, hitting .166 with a home run, six RBI and 11 stolen bases. He was acquired as "the player to be named later" in the trade that sent Alex Rios to the Rangers in 2013.
