White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Getting afternoon off
Amaya is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Amaya will give way to Bobby Dalbec at shortstop after starting in each of the previous five contests. Though he's a dependable defender, Amaya has been one of the majors' least productive hitters this season, slashing .087/.120/.109 over 50 plate appearances.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Getting regular work at shortstop
Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Following Chase Meidroth's promotion to the big leagues on April 11, Amaya appeared to be at risk of falling into a part-time role, but Meidroth's move to the injured list just over a week later has since reopened a regular spot in the middle infield. The White Sox aren't yet comfortable deploying Brooks Baldwin at shortstop on an everyday basis, so the more defensively savvy Amaya could end up seeing the bulk of the starts at the position while Baldwin handles more of a utility role. Most of the value Amaya brings in the field has been negated by his ineptitude at the plate, however; among the 300 MLB hitters who have logged 40 plate appearances this season heading into Wednesday's action, the 26-year-old ranks 299th with a .234 OPS.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Tallies first extra-base hit
Amaya went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Red Sox on Friday.
Amaya has started six straight games at shortstop and 11 of 13 games overall. He's struggled mightily, collecting only four hits across 33 at-bats, though he managed his first extra-base hit of the season Friday to account for his two RBI. The addition of Chase Meidroth could threaten Amaya's playing time, though the White Sox have a number of moving pieces, so the situation will be worth monitoring.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Heading to bench Tuesday
Amaya is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
Amaya collected a hit Opening Day but will sit Tuesday after going 0-for-8 with a stolen base, a run and two strikeouts in the past three games. Brooks Baldwin will take over at shortstop and bat seventh.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Settling in as everyday shortstop
Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Twins.
Amaya has now started at shortstop in each of the White Sox's first four games, but he has yet to do much with the opportunity. In the White Sox's season-opening series versus the Angels, Amaya went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts while slotting in as the No. 8 hitter in each of those contests. Even if the White Sox continue to give him an extended run in an everyday role, Amaya -- who owns a .402 OPS over 89 career big-league plate appearances -- can probably be ignored outside of AL-only formats until he performs well enough to warrant more attention.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: In mix for starts at shortstop
Amaya is among those in the mix for starts at shortstop for the White Sox, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Manager Will Venable said that he will "probably be mix and matching" at shortstop, adding that Amaya is "obviously a great defender." Amaya has slashed only .182/.222/.195 in limited chances at the big-league level. Brooks Baldwin and non-roster invitees Nick Maton and Tristan Gray are also in the mix for starts at shortstop.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Good to go Friday
Amaya (hip) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth in Friday's spring game against the Reds.
Amaya suffered a hip injury early this week but is ready to retake the field Friday after getting a few days to rest up. The 26-year-old has gone 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts through nine games in spring training, as it appears he's fallen behind Chase Meidroth in the battle for the White Sox's starting shortstop job.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Back to Southsiders
The White Sox claimed Amaya off waivers from the Orioles on Monday.
Amaya was removed from the White Sox' 40-man roster less than a month ago before being scooped up via waivers by the Orioles. Now he's headed back to Chicago, where he will provide some infield depth.

Orioles' Jacob Amaya: Booted off 40-man roster

Orioles' Jacob Amaya: Claimed by Baltimore
The Orioles claimed Amaya off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday.
Amaya had been designated for assignment after slashing only .179/.225/.194 over 23 games for the White Sox down the stretch of the 2024 season. He is out of minor-league options, so Amaya will have to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster or go through waivers again.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Designated for assignment
The White Sox designated Amaya for assignment Wednesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Josh Rojas, whose signing was officially announced Wednesday. Amaya was a waiver claim of the White Sox in August and slashed just .179/.225/.194 over 23 games for them down the stretch of the 2024 season.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Fading into platoon role
Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
After making 14 starts at shortstop in a 16-game stretch from Aug. 30 through Monday, Amaya now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row. He's sat in each of the White Sox's last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, as Amaya looks to have moved into the short side of a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Nicky Lopez. Since joining the White Sox on Aug. 27 after being claimed off waivers from the Astros, Amaya is slashing .244/.311/.268.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Out of Saturday's lineup
Amaya is not in Saturday's lineup against the Athletics.
Amaya has started 12 of the White Sox's last 13 games at shortstop since being recalled Aug. 30. He's hit .257 with two RBI and two runs scored in that span. Nicky Lopez will take over at shortstop in Amaya's place.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Carving out regular role
Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.
Amaya will make a fourth consecutive start at the shortstop position, and he'll have started 11 of the last 12. He's hitting just .233/.281/.267 so far with the Pale Hose and profiles as more of a utility infielder over the long haul, but Amaya should continue to receive regular reps down the stretch for the rebuilding White Sox.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Hits in three straight
Amaya went 1-for-4 with a double Wednesday against the Orioles.
Amaya drew his sixth straight start, all of which have come at shortstop. He's hit ninth in the order but has at least one hit in three consecutive games. Amaya maintained just a .638 OPS across 302 plate appearances while in Triple-A this season, so expectations should be limited.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Making fourth straight start
Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Orioles.
He's has been the main beneficiary of middle infielder Brooks Baldwin's ongoing absence due to a right hand injury. Amaya will pick up his fourth consecutive start Monday, but he hasn't done much to justify holding down a regular role once Baldwin is healthy enough to play again. Since getting added to the White Sox's active roster last Tuesday, Amaya has gone 1-for-8 with a walk and three strikeouts.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Joining big-league club
Amaya was added to the 26-man roster by the White Sox ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Rangers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Amaya was just claimed off waivers from the Astros on Monday and will report directly to the major-league club. The 25-year-old has hit just .223/.313/.336 across 291 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. Amaya is capable of handling shortstop, second base and third base and should see a decent amount of playing time down the stretch for the rebuilding White Sox.

The 25-year-old is primarily a shortstop but also has extensive experience at second base and a bit at third base. Amaya will report to Triple-A Charlotte.

The Astros designated Amaya for assignment Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
With Hector Neris joining the Astros' bullpen, Amaya will lose his spot on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old infielder went 0-for-1 during his lone game with Houston in May, and he's slashed .223/.313/.336 across 291 plate appearances at Triple-A Sugar Land.
