The White Sox outrighted right-hander Tyler Danish to Triple-A Charlotte, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports (Twitter link). This is the second time that Danish has been outrighted, as he was also removed from Chicago’s 40-man roster last November.
A second-rounder for the Sox in the 2013 draft, Danish has seen only sparing big league action in each of the last three seasons, with a career total of 13 innings over 11 games (one of them a start). In total, the right-hander has a 4.85 ERA and more walks (13) than strikeouts (11) over his brief time as a big leaguer.
Danish has also posted middling numbers as a starter at the Double-A and Triple-A levels, though he showed some improvement this season pitching largely as a reliever in Charlotte, with a 3.01 ERA over 71 2/3 IP and 33 total appearances, 31 of which came out of the bullpen. Danish doesn’t miss many bats (6.0 K/9 in his minor league career), though he has been able to generate grounders, as his 50.2% ground-ball rate for Charlotte this season actually represents his lowest grounder rate over his six minor league campaigns.
A flute without holes, is not a flute. A donut without a hole, is a Danish.
so, Danish wasn’t able to get his cup of coffee in MLB this year.
Except that he did, appearing in 7 games as a White Sox reliever between July 27th and August 12th. link to baseball-reference.com
Please continue to get rid of more BUMS on this team. It’s time to turn a corner and cleaning house has to begin.
Outrighting Tyler Danish off of the 40-man roster now opens up one spot as the White Sox head into the final 3 weeks of the 2018 season. Perhaps they will promote a starter from AAA Charlotte after all to replace Michael Kopech who’s spot comes up Tuesday versus the Royals in Kansas City. I had assumed that with the recent promotion of yet another bullpen arm in Rob Scahill on Saturday that Dylan Covey was most likely to return to the rotation to finish out the season. Perhaps the White Sox will now give a starter at AAA like Jordan Guerrero, Jordan Stephens or Spencer Adams an opportunity to audition for a spot in their rotation before the 2018 comes to a close.
