White Sox Option Jonathan Cannon to Triple-A After Consecutive Rough Starts

The move aims to help the 25-year-old regain confidence by refining his mechanics in Triple-A.

Overview

  • Jonathan Cannon was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on August 8–9 after surrendering 18 earned runs over his last three starts, resulting in a 13.50 ERA across 12 innings.
  • General manager Chris Getz said the assignment is intended to give Cannon a breather and address his command issues as he rebuilds confidence.
  • Left-hander Tyler Alexander, signed in June, will assume Cannon’s rotation spot and handle bulk innings.
  • The White Sox have recalled right-hander Wikelman González and will operate with a nine-man bullpen to maintain pitching depth.
  • Cannon’s demotion aligns with the club’s development strategy of using minor-league stints to refine mechanics ahead of a projected big-league return.
