Infante has secured a visa to travel to the United States but has yet to report to camp while being evaluated for the illness he developed during the offseason, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Infante met with team doctors in Miami, but no timeline was provided for the right-hander to arrive at spring training. Once he does join the Orioles, Infante might be too far behind the rest of the team's other relief arms to make a serious run at winning an Opening Day roster spot.

Infante has yet to report to spring training from his native Venezuela, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
There is a lot of political unrest in Venezuela right now, delaying the visa process for a number of major leaguers. As a result, it's unclear when Infante will be able to return to the United States. This situation is unlikely to cause a lengthy absence, however.

Infante agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles earlier this month, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Infante's deal likely includes an invitation to big-league spring training that will afford him the opportunity to compete for a bullpen gig. The 31-year-old has been a serviceable reliever during parts of three seasons in the majors with the White Sox, accruing a 3.56 ERA and 7.9 K/9 while allowing only four home runs over 68.1 innings.

The White Sox designated Infante for assignment and outrighted him to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Infante has been at Triple-A since the end of April, and the move effectively just removes him from the 40-man roster. The 30-year-old has struggled for both the White Sox and Knights in 2018, with eight runs allowed over nine innings in the majors and 14 runs allowed over 18 innings at Triple-A.

Infante was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The move comes between the games of Saturday's doubleheader with the Royals, as the team made room Dylan Covey, who is starting Game 2. Infante had a 3.13 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 49 strikeouts across 54.2 innings with the White Sox in 2017, but had allowed eight runs on 12 hits and eight walks over nine innings this season.

Infante was called up to the majors Saturday, James Fegan of The Athletic Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Infante is up to replace Danny Farquhar, who is in the ICU in stable but critical condition after suffering a brain hemorrhage. Infante had been up for the White Sox earlier in the season, posting a 16.62 ERA in 4.1 innings, walking 20 percent of batters while striking out just 12 percent.

Infante was sent to Triple-A Charlotte following Wednesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Infante had appeared in six games with the White Sox up to this point, allowing eight earned runs in just 4.1 innings of relief. He was a reliable option out of the bullpen for Chicago last season, posting a 3.13 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 54.2 innings, and will look to right the ship at the Triple-A level. The club didn't announce a corresponding move at this time.

Infante (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch Monday in the White Sox's Cactus League game against the Mariners, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Infante faced hitters Friday during batting practice without incident, prompting the White Sox to clear him for his first appearance of the spring. After a six-year hiatus, Infante returned to the big leagues last season and found success in the second half with the White Sox, emerging as a key piece in an otherwise unimpressive bullpen. Since the regular season is still two and a half weeks away, Infante should have enough time to put in a few more Cactus League outings to secure his roster spot heading into Opening Day.

Infante (shoulder) is expected to make his spring debut early next week after tossing a live batting practice session Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of The Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Infante has been sidelined from participating in any Cactus League outings due to shoulder inflammation but should be back to full health in the near future. The 30-year-old is looking to cement a spot in the White Sox's bullpen after posting a 3.13 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 54.2 innings of relief with the club last season.

Infante has been slowed by shoulder inflammation this spring, Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Infante, who is expected to throw a bullpen session Sunday or Monday, appeared in 52 games last season and is looking to secure a spot in Chicago's rebuilt bullpen. In order to do that, the right-hander will need to get back on the field and go full tilt.
