White Sox catcher Geovany Soto will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow Tuesday, the team announced.
Soto's recovery is expected to take a minimum of 12 weeks, and the Sox placed him on the 60-day disabled list Monday.
Kevan Smith was called up last week to fill in when Soto was placed on the 10-day DL with elbow pain, and Smith and Omar Narvaez will share catching duties.
The Sox called up right-hander Gregory Infante from Triple-A Charlotte before Monday's series opener against the Angels in Anaheim. Infante has gone 0-1 with a 2.08 ERA, three saves, 16 strikeouts and a .163 opponents average over 10 relief appearances with Charlotte this season.
The Sox optioned Cody Asche to Charlotte after Sunday's game, and Infante takes his spot on the 25-man roster.
