June 16, 2015 - South Atlantic League (SAL1)
Kannapolis Cannon Ballers News Release
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (June 16, 2015) -- The Kannapolis Intimidators, Class A Affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, have made two roster moves today, receiving infielder Nick Delmonico from the Double-A Birmingham Barons disabled list and placing outfielder Michael Danner on the disabled list.
Delmonico, 23, has not yet played in 2015. The former Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers prospect was signed by the White Sox in February after batting .262 (37-141) with eight doubles, four home runs, and 15 RBI in 37 games last season for the Class A-Advanced Brevard County Manatees in the Milwaukee organization. Originally a sixth round pick of the Orioles in the June 2011 First-Year Player Draft, Delmonico spent the 2012 season in the South Atlantic League with Delmarva, batting .249 (84-338) with 11 home runs and 54 RBI in 95 games while being named to the league's midseason All-Star Team. Delmonico entered the 2013 season rated by Baseball America as the No. 4 Prospect in the Baltimore organization and was traded to Milwaukee on July 23, 2013, for Francisco Rodriguez.
Danner, 23, has appeared in 16 games for Kannapolis in 2015, batting .231 (19-52) with seven doubles, six RBI, and seven runs scored. The White Sox selected Danner in the 34th round of the June 2014 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Tampa. Last season in his professional debut, Danner hit .229 (22-96) with two doubles, three triples, and 11 RBI in 27 games between the Arizona League White Sox and Class A Kannapolis.
The Intimidators return home tonight to open a three-game series against the Hagerstown Suns (Nationals) at 7:05 p.m. at Intimidators Stadium supported by Carolinas HealthCare System.
