Josh Rojas

Maton never found a home in the majors last year, but now he's the White Sox's leadoff man against right-handers, even if he probably wouldn't be on the roster at all if not for the late injuries to Josh Rojas, Brandon Drury and Mike Tauchman. It's not something that figures to last for an overly long time.

Chicago also added right-hander Mike Clevinger, outfielder Travis Jankowski and infielder Nick Maton to its active roster before its game against the Los Angeles Angels. Left-hander Jake Eder and outfielder Dominic Fletcher were designated for assignment.

The Chicago White Sox placed infielders Josh Rojas and Bryan Ramos and outfielder Mike Tauchman on the 10-day injured list on opening day on Thursday.

This move was announced earlier this week and is now official. It looks like Lenyn Sosa will get the chance to replace Rojas at second base to start the season.

So will Mike Tauchman, who is dealing with a hamstring issue. Rojas has a fractured toe, and the pain tolerance isn't to a point where the White Sox feel comfortable playing him. With Tauchan and Rojas unavailable, Travis Jankowski and Nick Maton have been informed they've made the Opening Day roster.
