Chicago White Sox OF Avisaíl García (ah-vee-cy-EEL) will begin a major league rehab assignment with the Knights starting today.

García is in tonight's lineup for the Knights batting second as the team's DH.

Adams, 22, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the second round of the June 2014 First-Year Player Draft. In 13 games (all starts) with the Barons this season, Adams has compiled a 3-6 record with a 4.59 ERA (68.2 IP, 80 H, 36 R, 35 ER, 20 BB, 53 SO). Adams will wear #18.
LHP T.J. House, 28, was released by the Chicago White Sox organization. House posted a 1-6 record with a 6.81 ERA in nine starts with the Charlotte Knights this season.
