It’s September 1, Sox Call Up Reinforcements

The calendar has turned to September and the White Sox have expanded their roster.

Reporting today from AAA Charlotte will be catcher Tyler Flowers and speedy outfielder Alejandro De Aza (above), who was a sensation in spring training.  Promoted immediately from AA Birmingham is righthander Gregory Infante, who will be dispatched to the Sox bullpen. Dayan Viciedo, who was sent down to AAA when Mark Teahen returned, will join the South Siders in Boston. Carlos Torres, the odd man out when Manny Ramirez arrived, will be brought up after the Charlotte season is over on September 6.

Tale of the tape for the three players arriving today :

* Flowers slugged 16 homers, drove in 53 and batted .220 in 100 games at Charlotte.

* De Aza hit .302 in 79 games with the Knights.

* Infante, after being called up to Birmingham from Winston-Salem, was 2-2 with a 3.42 ERA.
