White Sox's Anderson Severino: Demoted to Triple-A

The White Sox optioned Severino to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Severino and utility infielder Danny Mendick were sent to the minors with the White Sox needing to reduce their active roster from 28 to 26 players ahead of Monday's deadline. Following his April 12 promotion from Charlotte, Severino made six appearances out of the Chicago bullpen, striking out nine over 7.1 innings while giving up five runs on seven hits and four walks.
