The Chicago White Sox have optioned third baseman Bryan Ramos to Class AAA Charlotte following his struggles at the plate. Lenyn Sosa has been recalled from Triple-A to take Ramos' spot on the major league roster ahead of the weekend series in Milwaukee. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol described the move as a promotion for Ramos, noting that he had jumped levels from Double-A to the majors earlier in the year. Grifol emphasized that Ramos remains a significant part of the organization and expects him to return to the majors later in the year after gaining more experience and development at Triple-A. The recall of Sosa was announced on Friday.
More Grifol on Ramos: "He’s a big-time part of this organization. He’s in a good spot."
More Grifol on Ramos: "...to come back here later on in the year. You gotta go and perform at Triple-A."
Grifol on Ramos: "We gave him a nice opportunity here to come and feel what it’s about at this level. Have a little success, face a little adversity and understand the speed of the game up here and go back to your development we feel you need to work and put yourself in position
Grifol on Bryan Ramos, optioned to AAA Charlotte yesterday: "He was in a really good spot, the last thing he said to us was, ‘I’ll be back soon.’ Plus he’s getting promoted. He started the year in Double-A, and came to the big leagues."
Pedro Grifol pointed out Bryan Ramos’ recent struggles at the plate and described Ramos going down to Triple-A as a promotion, considering Ramos jumped the level when he came to the majors. Grifol plans to give Lenyn Sosa a good deal of playing time, at 2B, 3B and possibly DH.
