White Sox infielder Nick Maton has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte after being designated for assignment. The 28-year-old, who signed a minor league deal and made the Opening Day roster, struggled with a .173/.295/.327 batting line in 23 games, despite a strong walk rate. Maton, out of options, can elect free agency but may stay with the Sox if opportunities arise as they are likely to trade players amid their poor performance, allowing for potential at-bats later in the season.
