The White Sox put outfielder Billy Hamilton on the 10-day injured list and selected the contract of outfielder Jake Marisnick from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. They also designated reliever Alexander Colomé for assignment and replaced him with Triple-A right-hander Nick Padilla.
Hamilton, who hasn’t appeared in the last five games, has a left hamstring strain. His move to the IL is retroactive to May 7.
Marisnick is batting .264/.407/.391 with a homer, six doubles, 17 walks and nine RBI to go with eight stolen bases in 30 games with Charlotte. He has appeared in 14 games in center field, 10 in left and seven in right with the Knights. Marisnick was signed as a minor-league free agent in January.
A 10-year veteran who has played for six teams, including the Cubs and Astros, Marisnick should see his former Astros teammates this weekend when the Sox host Houston in a three-game series.
Padilla is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA and one save in 12 relief appearances with Charlotte. He served as the 27th player for a doubleheader on April 18 vs. Philadelphia but did not pitch.
The light-hitting Hamilton has appeared in three games with the Sox, providing a spark as a pinch runner, stealing two bases and scoring two runs.
Colomé, in his second tour with the Sox, gave up two earned runs over three innings in four relief appearances with the Sox after his contract was selected from Charlotte on May 2.
The Sox play the Royals Wednesday night in the third game of a four-game series in Kansas City.
