White Sox outfielder Austin Slater underwent surgery for a meniscus tear in his right knee and will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks. He has played eight games this season, with a batting line of 5-20, including a home run and two doubles, and has struggled against right-handed pitching. Slater, who signed a $1.75MM contract with performance bonuses, is one of three outfielders injured, joining Andrew Benintendi and Mike Tauchman, while Michael A. Taylor and Joshua Palacios are filling in the outfield positions.
