Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Nishida to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old was called up last week by Chicago and produced a .241/.241/.241 slash line across 30 plate appearances in his first taste of the majors. Nishida could get another look later in the season, but he'll return to Charlotte for now while top prospect Braden Montgomery joins the big club.
