Amaya has cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya was DFA'd by the White Sox on Friday after going 6-for-62 with a 2:15 BB:K over 68 plate appearances in the majors to begin the campaign. The 26-year-old will look to get his bat on track while with the Triple-A club.

The White Sox designated Amaya for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old opened the campaign as Chicago's primary shortstop, but he's fallen into a reserve role the past few weeks and has now been removed from the 40-man roster. Amaya had a horrid start to the campaign with a .097/.119/.113 slash line through 68 plate appearances.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya will take a seat for the fourth time in six games and may have moved into a part-time role. Though he's the best defensive shortstop on the White Sox roster, Amaya has been an easy out at the plate, slashing .078/.107/.098 over 57 plate appearances on the season.

Amaya isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya has been in a notable slump at the plate recently, going 0-for-13 over his last nine games and logging just three hits since the start of April. He'll give way to Brooks Baldwin at shortstop Friday, creating an opening in the lineup for Nick Maton to serve as Chicago's DH.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya will give way to Bobby Dalbec at shortstop after starting in each of the previous five contests. Though he's a dependable defender, Amaya has been one of the majors' least productive hitters this season, slashing .087/.120/.109 over 50 plate appearances.

Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Following Chase Meidroth's promotion to the big leagues on April 11, Amaya appeared to be at risk of falling into a part-time role, but Meidroth's move to the injured list just over a week later has since reopened a regular spot in the middle infield. The White Sox aren't yet comfortable deploying Brooks Baldwin at shortstop on an everyday basis, so the more defensively savvy Amaya could end up seeing the bulk of the starts at the position while Baldwin handles more of a utility role. Most of the value Amaya brings in the field has been negated by his ineptitude at the plate, however; among the 300 MLB hitters who have logged 40 plate appearances this season heading into Wednesday's action, the 26-year-old ranks 299th with a .234 OPS.

Amaya went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Red Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya has started six straight games at shortstop and 11 of 13 games overall. He's struggled mightily, collecting only four hits across 33 at-bats, though he managed his first extra-base hit of the season Friday to account for his two RBI. The addition of Chase Meidroth could threaten Amaya's playing time, though the White Sox have a number of moving pieces, so the situation will be worth monitoring.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya collected a hit Opening Day but will sit Tuesday after going 0-for-8 with a stolen base, a run and two strikeouts in the past three games. Brooks Baldwin will take over at shortstop and bat seventh.

Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya has now started at shortstop in each of the White Sox's first four games, but he has yet to do much with the opportunity. In the White Sox's season-opening series versus the Angels, Amaya went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts while slotting in as the No. 8 hitter in each of those contests. Even if the White Sox continue to give him an extended run in an everyday role, Amaya -- who owns a .402 OPS over 89 career big-league plate appearances -- can probably be ignored outside of AL-only formats until he performs well enough to warrant more attention.

Amaya is among those in the mix for starts at shortstop for the White Sox, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Will Venable said that he will "probably be mix and matching" at shortstop, adding that Amaya is "obviously a great defender." Amaya has slashed only .182/.222/.195 in limited chances at the big-league level. Brooks Baldwin and non-roster invitees Nick Maton and Tristan Gray are also in the mix for starts at shortstop.
