Overview

  • Josh Rojas, sidelined since spring training with a fractured toe, has been reinstated and is set to make his White Sox debut at third base.
  • Veteran first baseman Bobby Dalbec, who hit .222 in seven games this season, has been designated for assignment to free up a roster spot.
  • Pitchers Caleb Freeman and Tyler Gilbert have been added to the active roster, with Freeman earning his first promotion to the majors after strong minor-league performances.
  • Reliever Fraser Ellard was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain, while Penn Murfee was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte.
  • These moves reflect the White Sox's strategy to address injuries, bolster bullpen depth, and balance veteran contributions with emerging talent during their rebuild.
