Daniel Palka News
The Chicago White Sox have designated outfielder Daniel Palka for assignment. Palka showed good power in 2018, but took a big step backwards in 2019. Palka hit .107 with 35 strikeouts in 84 at-bats. The move will open a spot for newly signed catcher Yasmani Grandal.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Daniel Palka is in the lineup and batting sixth on Thursday. He replaces Leury Garcia, who just returned from bereavement leave and is sitting after starting Tuesday and Wednesday. It's been an unfortunate campaign for Palka, who is now 1-for-54 on the year with six walks and a hit-by-pitch in 61 plate appearances. The hitter who went deep 27 times last year may be in there somewhere, but Palka is obviously a hard pass in DFS. Other than Palka, however, the White Sox are a stack candidate facing Royals starter Jorge Lopez and his 6.23 ERA.
The Chicago White Sox optioned outfielder Daniel Palka to Triple-A Charlotte after the game on Wednesday. Palka, who led the team with 27 home runs as a rookie in 2018, got his first hit in 35 at-bats on Wednesday before he was sent down. The Sox want Palka to work on his swing, and eventually he'll return and fare better at the plate. Those that were holding onto him in deep mixed leagues can now look for other options. Palka's demotion is good news for Adam Engel's playing time, but the Sox might elect to bring up another outfielder for depth.
