The Chicago White Sox place Austin Hays on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain, select the contract of Dustin Harris from Triple-A, and transfer Mike Vasil to the 60-day IL.

The Chicago White Sox announced three roster moves Tuesday afternoon prior to their game against the Baltimore Orioles at Rate Field.

The club placed outfielder Austin Hays on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Monday. Hays exited Monday night’s game after pulling up while chasing a fly ball in left field.

In corresponding moves, the White Sox selected the contract of outfielder Dustin Harris from Triple-A Charlotte and transferred right-hander Mike Vasil to the 60-day injured list as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery.

Hays, who signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the White Sox in February, had been providing veteran stability in the outfield. He was hitting .250 with a home run and three RBIs in the early part of the season before the injury.

Harris, 26, gives the White Sox another right-handed bat and versatile defender from the upper minors. He spent most of 2025 at Triple-A and is now making his first trip to the active major-league roster.

Vasil, who underwent Tommy John surgery earlier in spring training, moves to the 60-day IL, freeing up additional roster space.

The moves come as the White Sox try to navigate an injury-plagued start to the 2026 season.
