The Diamondbacks signed Amaya to a minor-league contract Dec. 4.
EDGE Analysis
Amaya has a solid glove but has slashed a measly .147/.183/.161 across 154 plate appearances in the majors. He will give the Diamondbacks some infield depth at Triple-A Reno.

Amaya elected free agency Friday, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amaya appeared in 37 games for the White Sox this season, but he posted only a .260 OPS while in the majors. He slashed .250/.352/.420 across 219 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte, however, which should be enough for other clubs to be interested in bringing him in on a minor-league contract.

The White Sox outrighted Amaya to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amaya will remain in the White Sox organization after he was recently designated for assignment for the second time this season following a brief stint in the big leagues. The 26-year-old could see regular playing time at Charlotte, but he's unlikely to be in store for much more than the occasional start in the middle infield if he resurfaces in Chicago again later this season.

The White Sox designated Amaya for assignment Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox needed to make room for Chase Meidroth (thumb) returning from the 10-day injured list. Amaya appeared in 36 games for Chicago this season and slashed a paltry .106/.139/.121 with one double, eight RBI, seven runs scored, two stolen bases and a 3:16 BB:K across 73 trips to the plate.

The White Sox selected Amaya's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Amaya was booted off the 40-man roster back in May but has made his way back to the White Sox as a replacement for the injured Chase Meidroth (thumb). The 26-year-old Amaya will likely serve as a reserve infielder during his upcoming stint with the big club.

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.
