A day after the White Sox claimed outfielder Ryan LaMarre off waivers from the Minnesota Twins, the club added him to the roster and placed outfielder Avisaíl García on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday, retroactive to Monday, with a strained right hamstring.
Garcia went on the DL in April for the same ailment and returned on June 22. For the season, the 27-year-old is hitting .282/.297/.542 with nine homers and 17 RBIs.
LaMarre, 29, hit .263 with five doubles and eight RBIs in 43 games with Minnesota this season before he was designated for assignment on July 2. He played in 13 games with Triple-A Rochester, batting .313 (15-for-48).
The White Sox will be LaMarre's sixth team in four years since he broke into the big leagues with Cincinnati in 2015. A second-round pick of the Reds out of the University of Michigan in the 2010 Draft, LaMarre also appeared in a handful of games for the Red Sox ('16) and A's ('17). He began the 2016 season with the Angels organization, but he didn't reach Majors before he was dealt to Oakland in late April.
LaMarre is a .206/.264/.243 career hitter through 72 games in the big leagues.
