Chicago White Sox announce Rikuu Nishida promotion, DFA veteran outfielder
The Chicago White Sox are 26-26 after dropping their last two games against the San Francisco Giants. They have now lost two series in a row and are about to start a three-game set against their division rival Minnesota Twins. While it is still early, the White Sox probably did not expect to be in a position to compete this season. Right now, they are within reach of the American League Central and a Wild Card spot.
As such, Chicago is doing everything it can to win games now. This approach has led them to promote their 11th-ranked prospect, Rikuu Nishida, ahead of the Twins series.
The Chicago White Sox promote Rikuu Nishida, DFA Jarred Kelenic

There were rumblings that Nishida would be called up yesterday since he was spotted in the White Sox clubhouse. On Monday morning, it was announced that he had officially been called up by the club.
The White Sox have selected the contract of INF/OF Rikuu Nishida from Triple-A Charlotte and designated OF Jarred Kelenic for assignment ahead of today’s series opener vs. Minnesota. #whitesox

Jarred Kelenic, who is hitting .226/.305/.321 with a home run and four RBI, was designated for assignment to make room for Nishida on the roster.
A native of Japan, Nishida played college baseball at Oregon where he hit .312/.394/.443 in his only season. Chicago selected him in the 11th round of the 2023 draft.
In 44 games split between Double-A and Triple-A this season, Nishida is hitting .323/.449/.384 with a home run, 12 RBI, and 15 stolen bases. He has appeared in 35 games at second base this season, but has also split time at all three outfield spots.
