The White Sox Optioned Starter Jonathan Cannon To Triple-a Charlotte this afternoon. They remembered Wikelman González And will work with a nine-man bullpen for the time being.
Apart from an injured list of three weeks in June, Cannon held a place in the Rotation of Chicago throughout the season. The former pick of the third round struggled in 19 performances with an ERA of 5.34 with below average peripherals. The strikeout percentage of 17.7% of Cannon and 1.69 home runs per nine innings are both worrying. He has lately hit a particularly rough piece and gives 18 earned points on six longballs about his last three starts.
Cannon, a second -year player, entered the season as one of the more experienced pitchers in a very young rotation. He made 23 performances as Rookie. Cannon handed in an ERa of 4.49 with a strike output of 17.4% during his debut campaign. If he spends at least 20 days in the minors, this is his second of three option years.
Scott -Personage from MLB.com that writes Tyler Alexander Will take the bulk work when Cannon’s turn will compete against the Tigers through the rotation next week. Alexander has worked in Multi-Inning relief since he signed at Chicago at the beginning of June. He submitted a 2.89 ERA in 37 1/3 innings. Alexander has received a maximum of 3-4 innings from the bullpen. He will slide behind him Shane Smith” AARON CIVALE” Sean Burke And Davis Martin In the rotation of Will Venable.
It may not take long before Martín Pérez joins the group again. The veteran Southpaw threw four innings and 58 lines in a rehabilitation start with Double-a Birmingham tonight. That was his second rehabilitation start when he retrieves elbow inflammation that sidelined him in April. Pérez had made four starts before the injury and placed an ERA of 3.15 while struck 22% of the batters. A return in the next few weeks would enable him to make five or six performances before he goes back to the free desk.
In the meantime, GM Chris Getz spoke with reporters on Friday about the team’s decision not to act Luis Robert Jr. (Link via Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times). The General Manager spoke about a desire to build around the middle of the middle, and also emphasized catchers Edgar I want And Kyle Teel and a potential middle infield combination of Colson Montgomery And Chase Meiithoth.
Getz recorded Robert in that group. “We are enthusiastic about having Luis Robert in the White Sox organization. … If he plays well, the team plays well and plays victories,” he said. “He is a man we like to have in this organization, and we are planning to have him as part of the future.” All of that is not a surprise after they have chosen to keep it outside the deadline. Robert had started the season terribly, at least against right-handed pitching, but has been stamped on a .365/.435/.554 clip since the beginning of July.
Although that was not enough to convince other teams that he had found his star form, it apparently pushed the SOX to practice their $ 20 mm club option. That could change if Robert sucks in the last six weeks, but not trade would not be logical if the SOX did not think there is a good chance that he will play good enough to be worth the option prize. They could go shopping again in the low season or take him with the constant hope that he will play well enough to rebuild his commercial value. His contract contains an extra $ 20mm team option for 2027.
