Outfielder Justin Greene and right-handed pitcher Tyson Corley received long overdue promotions to Winston-Salem from Kannapolis today.

Greene, 23, was hitting .303 with 7 HR and 24 RBI in 81 games for the Intimidators. He had 16 steals and a .394 on-base percentage. Greene was named the fastest baserunner in the White Sox organization this year by Baseball America.

Corley, 23, made 30 relief appearances and pitched 38 innings for the I’s. The righty was 3-1 with a 0.95 ERA striking out 38 while only walking 9. He hasn’t allowed a home run this season.

In corresponding moves, Winston-Salem pitcher Levi Maxwell was placed on the DL and utility man Kyle Shelton was demoted to Kannapolis.

Cheers,
