SEATTLE – Former Sidewinder Luis Terrero hit a home run in his first at-bat Wednesday for the Chicago White Sox, but his promotion from Triple-A came at the expense of Canyon del Oro grad Brian Anderson.
The ex-University of Arizona outfielder was sent down to Charlotte to make room for Terrero. Anderson lost the center field job to Darin Erstad in spring training and was batting .118 (2 for 17). He hit .225 in 134 games as a rookie last year.
“It’s not easy for Brian, and it’s not easy for us to just sit him,” White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen told reporters.
Terrero hit the third pitch he saw from Seattle’s Jarrod Washburn eight rows into the left-field bleachers in the third inning, but the Mariners won 5-2.
