White Sox Release Robbie Ross

By Connor Byrne | June 9, 2018 at 1:27pm CDT

The White Sox have released left-handed reliever Robbie Ross, according to an announcement from their Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte (h/t: James Fegan of The Athletic).

The 28-year-old Ross joined the White Sox on a minor league deal in March, which came after he saw MLB action with the Rangers (2012-14) and Red Sox (2015-17) over the previous six seasons. Ross had some success during that span, particularly during the 2012, ’13 and ’15 campaigns, and combined for a 3.92 ERA with 7.46 K/9, 3.27 BB/9 and a 52.2 percent groundball rate in 330 2/3 innings. He didn’t show a significant platoon split, either, as he held same-handed hitters to a .250/.331/.381 line and righty-swingers to a .269/.344/.376 mark.

Injuries, including elbow and back problems, limited Ross to nine major league frames a year ago. In his return to the mound this season, he struggled in Charlotte, where he logged an 11.81 ERA with 9.28 K/9 and 14.34 BB/9 in 10 2/3 innings.

        Why wouldn’t he assuming Ross gets limited other opportunities. Not a fan but there are far worse choices.

      You don’t need to go attacking just because some people have a different opinion.

      Relax. Appreciate that differing opinions lead to new ideas and that it’s OK.

    Some players can’t hit while occupying the DH position. Magglio Ordonez comes to mind.

    Robbie Ross was among a number of veteran pitchers the rebuilding White Sox signed to minor league deals prior to the start of the season. He just couldn’t overcome his prior health issues and re-establish himself as a useful member of a bullpen.

    The White Sox still have many of their other MLI’s providing useful service on the MLB roster include LHP Hector Santiago, RHP Bruce Rondon and recently promoted southpaw Xavier Cedeno. They also have a couple more still stashed at AAA including Jeanmar Gomez, TJ House and Rob Scahill. Like Cedeno, Gomez has put up some very impressive numbers as a short reliever at Charlotte and might also be in line for a promotion to the White Sox active roster if an injury or trade opens up a spot in their bullpen. Any one of these veterans might also become valuable flip candidates as the summer trade deadline looms.
