White Sox's Micker Adolfo: Designated for assignment

Adolfo was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Adolfo is a fairly interesting prospect, but his strikeout issues may have convinced the White Sox he wasn't worth keeping around on the 40-man roster. In 101 games split across the two highest minor-league levels last season, he whiffed 34.1 percent of the time, so it's likely he'd strike out at an untenable rate against big-league pitching. He's a decent candidate to be claimed off waivers, however, as he managed a .245/.311/.520 slash line (good for a 121 wRC+) despite all those strikeouts.
