The White Sox selected Alberto's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Alberto essentially won a spot over Leury Garcia, who has been released. He'll operate in a utility role for the Pale Hose.

Alberto's exit from Monday's exhibition game against the Cubs due to an injury to his right hand was precautionary, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alberto appeared to be in a considerable amount of pain after being hit in the right hand by a pitch, but the White Sox say the utility infielder is "fine." He should be considered day-to-day with a good chance of being able to play in the final exhibition games and being ready for Opening Day.

Alberto has left Monday's exhibition game against the Cubs after being hit by a pitch in the right hand, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Van Schouwen notes that Alberto went down to a knee in pain after being plunked, and that he could hear the infielder yell from the press box. It's very likely that Alberto will undergo imaging to see if there is structural damage. The infielder is with the White Sox on a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training, and he has a good chance of making the Opening Day roster if healthy for the start of the season.

Alberto agreed Wednesday with the White Sox on a minor-league contract, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old will likely get the chance to compete for a utility role with the White Sox during spring training. He appeared in 73 games for the Dodgers in 2022, seeing action at all four infield spots while hitting .244 with two home runs, 15 RBI and 13 runs over 159 plate appearances.

The Dodgers declined Alberto's $2 million club option for 2023, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alberto saw limited opportunities to take the field in 2022 behind the Dodgers' star-studded infield, and he only put up a .623 OPS during the opportunities he did receive. The 30-year-old infielder will likely serve as a bench option in 2023 for the team that signs him in free agency.

Alberto will return to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As per usual, the righty-hitting Alberto is on the bench with the Giants bringing a right-hander (Alex Cobb) to the hill. Alberto, who went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win against the Giants and southpaw Alex Wood, should continue to make frequent starts when the Dodgers oppose lefties.

Alberto (knee) went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Monday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Alberto was sidelined by a knee injury Sunday, but he was able to return earlier than initially expected. He's appeared in only 12 games since the start of June, going 4-for-24 (.167) in that span, so he's not expected to be a lineup regular. He could see some starts at second base and third base against southpaws.

Alberto (knee) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

It was thought that Alberto's injury would cost him at least a couple more days, but he will find himself manning the hot corner and hitting ninth Monday night.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Sunday that the team intends to stay away from Alberto (knee) for three days, though he could be available in an emergency, Sarah Wexler of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Alberto recently relieved an injection to help alleviate his knee pain, but the team still intends to keep him out of action for at least three days. However, the utility man has reportedly responded well to the injection and isn't expected to need a stint on the injured list. Alberto didn't play Sunday and isn't likely to get into either of Monday or Tuesday's contests against Colorado.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Alberto is available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Padres in a pinch-hitting capacity due to a knee issue, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

With left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the hill for San Diego, the righty-hitting Alberto would have been a candidate to pick up a start, but the knee issue thwarted those plans. Roberts relayed that Alberto has responded well since receiving a pain-killing injection to address the soreness in the knee, so the 29-year-old doesn't look as though he'll be in danger of landing on the injured list.
