BRIEF: White Sox designate Conor Gillaspie for assignment

July 19--The White Sox have designated third baseman Conor Gillaspie for assignment, while reinstating right-handed pitcher Matt Albers from the disabled list on Sunday.

"We needed an arm right now, and the way it shakes out -- it's a tough decision, a tough call," manager Robin Ventura said.

Gillaspie, 28, hit .237 with 11 doubles, one triple, three home runs and 15 RBI over 58 games this season.

Albers had been on the DL since April 26 (retroactive to April 20) with a broken right little finger sustained in a brawl during the April 23rd game against the Royals.

Albers (0-0 , 1.59 ) has made four relief appearances with the Sox this season after being signed as a free agent on Feb. 13.
