White Sox Designate Former Dodgers Outfielder for Assignment

Baseball can be a cruel game.

Kevin Pillar knows this all too well. The journeyman outfielder has suited up for eight different ballclubs throughout his career (Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, Chicago White Sox, New York Mets, Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox).

Unfortunately, he'll be looking for club No. 9.

Ken Rosenthal reported that Pillar will be designated for assignment by the Chicago White Sox. The plan for the Southsiders is to sign fellow veteran OF Tommy Pham.

Pillar spoke about his status with Foul Territory Show:

Pillar elaborated further:

Pillar was hitting .160 with one home run and four RBIs for the White Sox over the course of 17 games and 32 at-bats.

He previously played for the Dodgers in 2022 -- making appearances in only four games before fracturing his shoulder in a game versus the Pirates.

Pillar, 35, grew up in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hills.
