White Sox fire executive VP Williams, GM Hahn

The Chicago White Sox have fired executive vice president Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn, cutting ties with their leadership on the baseball side amid another disappointing season. Williams was in his 11th season in his position after serving as the club’s general manager for 12 seasons. He was one of baseball’s most prominent Black executives. Hahn had been the GM since October 2012. The White Sox are finishing a miserable season. They had a 49-76 record heading into their game Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. Chicago made the playoffs in 2020 and 2021, and then went 81-81 last year.

■ Dodgers: Los Angeles placed designated hitter J.D. Martinez on the injured list with groin tightness.

■ Yankees: New York recalled outfielder Everson Pereira and infielder Oswald Peraza from Triple-a Scranton/ Wilkes Barre.
