Blue Jays claimed 3B Brent Morel off waivers from the White Sox. Morel spent the majority of the 2013 season at Triple-A Charlotte, where he hit .266/.349/.403 with six homers and 54 RBI in 106 games. The 26-year-old will function as organizational corner infield depth for the Jays.

Brent Morel has been placed on the 7-day disabled list with Triple-A Charlotte. The exact nature of the injury isn't yet clear. Morel was hitting .231/.354/.410 with one home run, six RBI and a .764 OPS over his first 11 games with the Knights this season.

White Sox optioned INF Brent Morel and RHP Deunte Heath to Triple-A Charlotte; reassigned INF Carlos Sanchez, LHP Daniel Moskos and RHP Zach Stewart to minor league camp. Morel batted .216 (8-for-37) with two homers and an 8/1 K/BB ratio in 18 games this spring. While he opened last season as Chicago's starting third baseman, he'll now serve as infield depth in the minors.

Brent Morel played an inning at shortstop in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Brewers. It's the first time he's played the position since he was there for 17 games in 2010 at Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox are trying to increase Morel's versatility as he fights for a bench job. "We went to him, and he's done it before in the past in the minor leagues, as well as second base," manager Robin Ventura said. "With all the guys competing for jobs, it's good to be able to have a little versatility like that."

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said that Brent Morel could get some reps at other infield positions during spring training in order to increase his versatility. Ventura last month said that Morel is "still in the mix" for the team's third base job, but the reality is that Jeff Keppinger has that position locked up. Thus, Morel will enhance his chances of winning an Opening Day roster spot if he can show the ability to play multiple positions. Morel was limited to just 35 games due to a back injury last season, but he's healthy now and, according to Ventura, showing better bat speed.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Brent Morel is "still in the mix" for the team's third base job. Morel is coming off a disastrous 2012, and was limited to just 35 games due to injury before finishing out the season at Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox have since signed Jeff Keppinger to a three-year deal, but Morel will be given an opportunity to compete for a roster spot in spring training. The 25-year-old has a .230/.273/.338 batting line and .612 OPS over parts of three seasons in the majors and remains well off the fantasy radar.
