White Sox's Rymer Liriano: In the right-field mix

Liriano (concussion) will get playing time in right field during spring training, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

The White Sox took a low-risk flier on the 24-year-old Liriano, who didn't play at all in 2016 following a concussion and facial fractures suffered during spring training last year. He appears to be a longshot to make the roster given the considerable time he's missed and manager Rick Renteria's comments about giving Avisail Garcia a shot to "settle into right field." Liriano could use the low-pressure environment of the minors to reboot his career, but will need to pass through waivers if the White Sox want him at Triple-A Charlotte.
