Infante

Infante, 31, posted a 3.82 ERA over 62 relief appearances across the last two seasons for the White Sox. He’ll compete for a bullpen job in Baltimore.

Infante sustained the injury in Sunday’s game against the Rockies. It’s not known how long he’ll be sidelined, but this obviously hurts his chances of winning a bullpen spot on the Opening Day roster.

Infante was in the mix for the final bullpen spot, but he’s currently sidelined indefinitely after straining his left oblique on Sunday. The 23-year-old right-hander earned a September call-up last year after posting a 2.54 ERA and 54/28 K/BB ratio between Double- and Triple-A and remains a promising bullpen arm.

The White Sox needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Jose Lopez, so Infante was given his outright release. The 23-year-old right-hander posted a 3.55 ERA at two different levels of the minors this season and will attempt to continue his career elsewhere.

Infante put up a 3.55 ERA over 21 games between Double- and Triple-A with the White Sox in 2012. He’s just organizational depth.

Infante is in camp this spring as a non-roster player. The 25-year-old right-hander had a 3.55 ERA and 40/21 K/BB ratio over 48 1/3 innings last season between Double- and Triple-A with the White Sox. He’ll likely serve as organizational depth in 2013.

Infante hasn’t appeared in a major league game since 2010 and he posted a 5.11 ERA in 61 2/3 innings last season between the Double-A and Triple-A affiliates of the Phillies. The 29-year-old right-hander is doubtful to make a significant impact with the White Sox in 2017.

Juan Minaya will replace him in Chicago’s bullpen. Infante owns a 4.79 ERA and 18/10 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings this season.

Infante, 29, had a 2.08 ERA and 16/6 K/BB ratio over 13 relief innings in Triple-A. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since way back in 2010.

He’ll replace David Robertson on the active roster. Infante has posted a 4.79 ERA and 18/10 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings at the major league level this season.
