Former Cleveland Guardians star Grady Sizemore will be assuming an interim managerial role for the Chicago White Sox.
The White Sox fired manager Pedro Grifol earlier on Thursday. The team plans on naming a permanent replacement at the end of the season.
He made three straight All-Star appearances between 2006 and 2008, with his best year coming in 2006 when he slashed .290/.375/.533 with 28 home runs and 76 RBI. He also led the majors with 53 doubles and stole 22 bases.Injuries derailed the Seattle native following the 2008 campaign, as he played in 106, 33 and 71 games, respectively, from 2009 through 2011.
Sizemore didn't play at all in 2013, either, and then bounced around between the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays in 2014 and 2015. However, he did so in a rather limited role.
