MINNEAPOLIS — The White Sox optioned right-hander Nick Nastrini to Triple-A Charlotte Monday and reinstated reliever John Brebbia from the 15-day injured list, among five moves made by the team before their four-game series in Minnesota.
The Sox also selected the contract of infielder Danny Mendick, who was in the lineup Monday at third base and batting eighth; optioned infielder Lenyn Sosa to Charlotte and designated infielder Zach Remillard for assignment.
Nastrini’s first start was good, with two runs allowed in five innings against the Royals. He allowed six runs (five earned) in the Sox’ 8-2 loss that completed a series sweep by the Phillies Sunday.
Nastrini, 24, went 0-2 with a 7.88 ERA over eight innings after his contract was selected from Charlotte on April 15.
Brebbia, 33, was put on the 15-day injured list on April 8 (retroactive to April 6) with a right calf strain, and made one scoreless appearance on his rehab assignment with Charlotte. He has thrown 2 2/3 scoreless innings over four relief appearances this season.
