White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said that Jeff Keppinger was designated for assignment because the club didn't want to give him playing time over Conor Gillaspie, Marcus Semien and Gordon Beckham. Keppinger has dealt with shoulder issues since the beginning of the 2013 season, but Hahn says the veteran infielder is now healthy. He'll clear waivers due to the amount remaining on his contract, but Keppinger shouldn't have trouble latching on somewhere on a minor league deal.
