Soto (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list after it was announced that he would undergo arthroscopic elbow debridement surgery Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Although the issue was initially tabbed as a bout of elbow inflammation, it seems that the ailment at hand is much worse than that, ultimately leading the veteran backstop to head under the knife. The White Sox anticipate Soto to be out for at least 12 weeks, which would put his return date sometime in August at the earliest. Expect Omar Narvaez and Kevan Smith to shoulder the load behind the plate until Soto returns.
