White Sox Recall David Sandlin For Friday Start

The move fills a short-term rotation need as Noah Schultz nears a return, with Munetaka Murakami still rehabbing.

Overview

The White Sox recalled right-hander David Sandlin from Triple-A Charlotte and started him Friday against the Kansas City Royals.
Manager Will Venable said Sandlin’s stay could be brief and that the club will evaluate rotation needs on a spot-by-spot basis.
Sandlin has dominated in Triple-A with a 1.57 ERA and 26 strikeouts in six starts but has mixed results in the majors, allowing 12 earned runs in just over 13 innings this season.
Left-hander Joe Rock was optioned to Triple-A to create the roster spot for Sandlin.
Chicago’s first-place chase adds urgency to short-term moves, and the impending return of Noah Schultz plus Murakami’s rehab progress could quickly change the rotation and prompt more roster churn.
