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.

Amaya (hip) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth in Friday's spring game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya suffered a hip injury early this week but is ready to retake the field Friday after getting a few days to rest up. The 26-year-old has gone 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts through nine games in spring training, as it appears he's fallen behind Chase Meidroth in the battle for the White Sox's starting shortstop job.

Amaya was removed from Monday's Cactus League game against the Athletics due to left hip tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya struck out in his lone plate appearance before departing. Competing for the White Sox' shortstop job this spring, Amaya has gone just 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts in nine Cactus League contests.

The White Sox claimed Amaya off waivers from the Orioles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya was removed from the White Sox' 40-man roster less than a month ago before being scooped up via waivers by the Orioles. Now he's headed back to Chicago, where he will provide some infield depth.

The Orioles designated Amaya for assignment Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees a 40-man roster spot for the signing of Dylan Carlson. Amaya was a waiver claim of the Orioles earlier this month and will now go through the waivers process again.

The Orioles claimed Amaya off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya had been designated for assignment after slashing only .179/.225/.194 over 23 games for the White Sox down the stretch of the 2024 season. He is out of minor-league options, so Amaya will have to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster or go through waivers again.

The White Sox designated Amaya for assignment Wednesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Josh Rojas, whose signing was officially announced Wednesday. Amaya was a waiver claim of the White Sox in August and slashed just .179/.225/.194 over 23 games for them down the stretch of the 2024 season.

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

EDGE Analysis

After making 14 starts at shortstop in a 16-game stretch from Aug. 30 through Monday, Amaya now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row. He's sat in each of the White Sox's last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, as Amaya looks to have moved into the short side of a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez. Since joining the White Sox on Aug. 27 after being claimed off waivers from the Astros, Amaya is slashing .244/.311/.268.

Amaya is not in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya has started 12 of the White Sox's last 13 games at shortstop since being recalled Aug. 30. He's hit .257 with two RBI and two runs scored in that span. Nicky Lopez will take over at shortstop in Amaya's place.

Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Amaya will make a fourth consecutive start at the shortstop position, and he'll have started 11 of the last 12. He's hitting just .233/.281/.267 so far with the Pale Hose and profiles as more of a utility infielder over the long haul, but Amaya should continue to receive regular reps down the stretch for the rebuilding White Sox.
