The White Sox released Maton on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Maton has had two stints in the majors with the White Sox in 2025 but hit just .167 with a 30.2 percent strikeout rate over 63 plate appearances before he was outrighted off the 40-man roster for a second time in mid-May. He remained in the organization as a depth option at Triple-A, but he didn't make much of a case for another promotion after slashing .192/.354/.346 in 16 games with Charlotte. The 28-year-old utility player will look to catch on with another organization on a minor-league deal.

The White Sox outrighted Maton to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second time in the last two weeks, Maton has been outrighted off Chicago's 40-man roster. He accepted the assignment the first time and looks set to do some again this time around, going back to Charlotte as utility depth.

Maton was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark the second time in the last two weeks that Maton has lost his spot on the 40-man roster. This move could prove to be more permanent, as Tim Elko's contract was selected in the corresponding move. Across 63 plate appearances this season, Maton has hit just .167/.286/.315.

The White Sox selected Maton's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After losing his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster in late April, Maton decided to accept an outright assignment to Triple-A rather than electing free agency, and the decision has paid off, as he's already back in the big leagues. The utility player produced a .622 OPS in 23 games earlier this season with the White Sox.

The White Sox outrighted Maton to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maton has been outrighted previously, so he could refuse the assignment by the White Sox and elect free agency. However, it's not clear at this point what his intentions are. The utility infielder is a career .202/.302/.354 hitter over parts of five major-league seasons.

Maton was designated for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox traded for infielder Gage Workman and Maton will lose his spot on the roster as a result. Maton, 28, has hit below .175 in each of his big-league stints over the past three seasons.

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

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Maton finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher. After slashing just .167/.298/.313 with a 28.1 percent strikeout rate over 57 plate appearances to begin the season, Maton's time as a strong-side platoon player for the White Sox may well be over. Expect the White Sox to rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot rather than deploying Maton as their primary option.

Maton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Maton has been a mainstay in the lineup against right-handed pitching for most of the season, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday even while the Twins send right-hander David Festa to the hill. Since popping a pair of home runs in his first five games of the season, Maton has struggled to a .154/.267/.179 slash line over his ensuing 17 contests and has contributed just one extra-base hit (a double). The White Sox could begin to phase him out of the lineup more frequently and instead rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot.

Maton is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Maton will stay put in Chicago's dugout with left-hander Garrett Crochet set to start on the bump for Boston. Maton's absence will create an opening for Jacob Amaya to join the starting nine as the White Sox's shortstop.

Maton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Maton will retreat to the bench while the Athletics send southpaw JP Sears to the hill for the series finale. Though Maton has logged 42 of his 43 plate appearances against opposite-handed pitching, he's batting just .139 with a pair of home runs and a 27.9 percent strikeout rate. The White Sox have been using Maton as their primary option at designated hitter versus righties this season, but his lack of production thus far could inspire manager Will Venable to use a rotation of players at the DH spot.
