Tim Elko carpooled to Rate Field on Saturday with pitcher Jonathan Cannon. “It’s nice to have him and some of the other guys in here that I’ve already been around a lot,” Elko said. The familiar faces helped Elko get accustomed to his new surroundings as the first baseman prepared for his major-league debut with the Chicago White Sox against the Miami Marlins.

The Chicago White Sox selected the contract of infielder Tim Elko from Triple-A Charlotte and placed him in the lineup at first base.

The Chicago White Sox claimed right-hander Yoendrys Gomez off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday and released outfielder Greg Jones.

Eric Wagaman delivered a go-ahead, two-run triple with two outs in the eighth inning and Kyle Stowers homered to help the visiting Miami Marlins defeat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Saturday.
