Overview

• Second baseman Lenyn Sosa was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hip flexor after aggravating it running against Detroit on June 2.
• Sosa, who was hitting .274 with four homers and 17 RBIs, expects to return in about a week to 10 days, though manager Will Venable has not set a firm timetable.
• First baseman Tim Elko was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the infield vacancy after batting three homers in his first major league stint this season.
• Right-hander Miguel Castro was transferred to the 60-day injured list with a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, sidelining him for the foreseeable future.
• Chicago claimed right-hander Ryan Cusick off waivers from Detroit and optioned him to Charlotte while planning to shift Miguel Vargas back to third base to shore up the infield.
