White Sox Reinstate Jace Fry, Outright Alex McRae

By Mark Polishuk | June 26, 2021 at 2:56pm CDT

The White Sox have reinstated Jace Fry from the 60-day injured list and optioned the left-hander to Triple-A Charlotte.  To create room on the 40-man roster, righty Alex McRae was outrighted to Triple-A.

Fry underwent back surgery (a microdiscectomy, specifically) during the offseason and has spent the entire season on the 60-day IL while recovering and getting ramped up to pitch.  The early returns have looked good, as Fry has a 2.08 ERA over 13 Triple-A innings thus far, albeit with eight walks in those 13 frames.

Control has been an issue over Fry’s 132 2/3 career MLB innings, as he has a 13.7% walk rate over four seasons with the White Sox.  Fry has a 4.75 ERA but a respectable 4.05 SIERA, as his 50.5% grounder rate and 28.3% strikeout rate have helped to somewhat limit the damage from his free passes.  Fry has been very effective against left-handed batters, who are hitting just .184/.302/.257 in 243 plate appearances against the 27-year-old Oregon State product.

McRae has appeared in each of the last four Major League seasons, with the last two in the White Sox organization.  He has amassed only five total innings in a Chicago uniform, and since he has been outrighted three times in his career, he has the option of electing free agency rather than accepting his latest outright assignment.  McRae has a 7.34 ERA over 38 career innings with the White Sox and Pirates.

    This guy could probably have thrown right handed and not done any worse than half the guys in their bullpen for the last 2 months. Hendriks or no Hendriks, their pen is terribly overhyped.

      And yet they’re still in first place along with all their injuries.

      I love you Dogbone

        Come on balls……everyone has injuries….and you, me, dog and six kids from the south side would be ahead of the Royals and Tigers just on principle, the Indians with all their pitchers hurt and the Twins with everything that has happened to them. As long as the Sox avoid injuries to four of the starting five they are the only lock in baseball.

          Now the Sox know how the Cubs feel, playing in the hot garbage NL Central. Only difference is the Sox are still in first with a decent chance they will get some solid players back. Cubs can’t even lay claim to first place in that crap division.

          Slider, there are many, many arguments that you will win — especially with the Sox knowing how the Cubs feel — since that seems to be their purpose in life…..however, trying to equate divisions is highly delusional. Sox better pitching, yep. Sox better lineup when all are there, yep. Sox a more legitimate contender, you betcha. Sox division better—not even close.

          I agree with the first part of your post. However you seem to have trouble comprehending. I never said the Sox division was better. I said the Sox are in a similar situation of being in a weak division. That being said, the divisions are very close. Both this year and in years past. Actually, over the last few decades, the AL central has represented in the WS more than the NL central and with a wider variety of teams.

          Try again.

          Heuer and Foster should’ve been sent down to AAA a month ago. Neither one of them can get out of an inning without giving up at least one run. But yet TLR keeps running then out there just like they did with Dylan Covey.

          Jealousy in the 1st degree with anyone saying how bad the Sox are. Sox haters are in abundance on social media but do they card…not one bit. Weep, cry, pout, pull on each other’s wanker. We really don’t care how haters feel. Come back in post-season please

      A lot of my friends are blaming Tony for the bullpen fails. They say things like Tony brought in the wrong guy or nobody wants to pitch for Tony because he doesn’t inspire them. I answer them that maybe they were or are being overrated.

    Pending Boras FA Rodon for pending Boras FA Bryant where each Chicago club addresses a clear shortcoming? Rodon may even have a better shot at a multi-year extension up North with them clearing a lot of money off the books.

      cwsAscension- I would make that trade today.
      Rodon’s arm is about to fall off.
      Interesting idea.

        Not so fast. Wait and see on that one. Have you seen Bryant’s June? He fell off a cliff.
