HANSER ALBERTO NEWS

Parting ways with White Sox The White Sox requested unconditional release waivers for Alberto on Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by Chicago on Friday and won't be sticking around the organization. Alberto joined the club on a one-year deal in January and had a .220/.261/.390 slash line in 90 plate appearances.

Designated for assignment Alberto was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Alberto played a decent amount with the White Sox' infield banged up, but he missed some time with injury himself and has produced just a .652 OPS. The veteran infielder will now go through the waiver process and it's possible there will be some interest from a club in need of some defensive versatility.

Losing work to Romy Gonzalez Alberto will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Though he appears to be healthy again after recently overcoming a shoulder injury, Alberto may no longer be viewed as the primary replacement at second base for the injured Elvis Andrus (oblique). After sitting out Saturday's 7-3 loss, Alberto will pick up a start at the hot corner Sunday for a resting Yoan Moncada while Romy Gonzalez nabs another start at the keystone.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Monday's lineup Alberto (shoulder) is not in the White Sox' lineup for Monday's game in Cleveland.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with sore shoulder Alberto was removed from Sunday's game against the Royals with left shoulder soreness.

Impact Alberto's run as a regular at third base came to an end Friday when Yoan Moncada returned from the injured list, but the 30-year-old utility man now appears set for steady playing time at the keystone after Elvis Andrus (oblique) went on the IL on Saturday. Alberto will make his second straight start at second base after going 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 3-1 win.

Alberto leads White Sox against the Royals after 4-hit outing

Perfect day at plate Alberto went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's victory over the Reds.

Impact Alberto led the charge in Sunday's 17-run explosion by the White Sox. He kicked things off with a two-run shot in the second inning followed by a pair of RBI doubles later in the game. His season OPS jumped from .600 to .903 through 40 plate appearances with the huge performance. Yoan Moncada (back) appears to be nearing a return, which will cut into Alberto's playing time.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Regular role at third base Alberto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday against the Reds.

Impact Alberto took Nick Lodolo yard in the second inning to tally his second homer of the season. With both Yoan Moncada (back) and Jake Burger (oblique) out, Alberto should have a regular role at third base in the short term. He isn't likely to make a significant fantasy impact, as he has never posted a wRC+ above 100 in any of his big-league seasons.
