White Sox place Emilio Bonifacio on bereavement list, call up Leury Garcia

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.
