Yermin Mercedes says  he walks away from baseball

Yermin Mercedes, the American League Rookie of April who was sent to Triple-A Charlotte after a fall in May and June, announced on her Instagram account on Wednesday that she was retiring from baseball.

"First of all I want to thank God for giving me life for the fans that without them I would be nothing," Mercedes wrote on her Instagram account. “It is in my family to know me and to always be supportive. . . I walk away from the ball for a while God bless you. It's over."

The White Sox said they were aware of the position but had "not yet received official notification from Yermin about his future plans."

"The kind of understanding, he's on Triple-A, he had a taste for big leagues, and you can get the feeling," said manager Tony La Russa after losing the Sox '7-2 to the twins. “I will reach out to him.

It could be just a little upset. I will explain to him that he has a future in the league. ”

The 28-year-old Mercedes, who was selected to go to Charlotte on July 2, started with the Knights on Wednesday and was removed due to a back-to-back beating after two bats. In 14 games, he hit .309 / .377 / .655 with four games at home.

The catcher who used to hit, Mercedes hit .221 in May with two home runs and 159 June Sox.

A favorite and passionate MLB fan in April who was 8 to 8 years old in her first eight games, Mercedes missed the mark and took a 3-0 lead in May. He was called up by La Russa for missing a mark and breaking one of the unwritten rules of baseball.

"Several times, he said how close we are," La Russa said. “She knows I'm a supporter of her. I will reach out to him. "

La Russa said he has a lot of debt for young players who get worried.

"It's a reform, and you'll have to find a way to strengthen it," he said. Every other situation. You've found a place on the list, and as is often the case with rookies, you'll have to learn how to adjust the back. I know he can make that adjustment and hit the big leagues. ”

Sox Dylan stopped allowing three runs in five innings, giving home to Max Kepler, and the twins were drawn in three games against Codi Heuer in the sixth inning to secure a four-match losing streak with the Sox guaranteed World Cup.

Billy Hamilton doubled, stole third and scored in Adam Engel's unmarried infield in third place. Yoan Moncada repeated and scored twice for Andrew Vaughn in the eighth.

Tim Anderson's scoring record has been snatched from 13 games, the fifth longest in the club's history.

The match-fixing of the Brewers weekend series, after Thursday, includes five ERAs under 2.40: Lucas Giolito (8-6, 3.90 ERA) vs Freddy Peralta (7-3, 2.39) on Friday, Carlos Rodon (8-3, 2.14 ) vs. Corbin Burnes (5-4, 2.16) Saturday with Lance Lynn (9-3, 1.94) and Brandon Woodruff (7-4, 2.04) on Sunday.
