CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox claimed
infielder Vinny Capra off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers on
Thursday.
Milwaukee had designated Capra for assignment on Friday, the
same day the Brewers had recalled infielder Andruw Monasterio
from Triple-A Nashville.
Capra, 28, batted .074 with a .121 on-base percentage, one homer
and four RBIs in 24 games with Milwaukee while primarily playing
third base. He also had made appearances at second base and
shortstop.
He won a roster spot with Milwaukee after compiling six homers
and 14 RBIs in 19 Cactus League games. He homered in the
Brewers’ season opener and went 1 of 3 in each of his first two
games but had been struggling ever since.
His single in a 5-1 victory over the Houston Astros on May 5 was
his first hit since April 2 and ended an 0-for-36 slump.
Before this season, Capra had 20 games of major league
experience. He played eight games with Toronto in 2022, nine
with Pittsburgh in 2023 and three with Milwaukee in 2024.
